Resin VS Block Paving Driveways

Charlie Clark • June 20, 2024

Choosing the right material for a new driveway is crucial for both durability and aesthetic appeal. Resin and block pave driveways are two popular solutions, each with perks and downsides. Throughout this blog post, we'll discuss which one will provide you the best driveway results. 

Durability & Longevity

Resin driveways are well-known for their longevity and durability, with typical lifespans of 15 to 20 years and minimum maintenance. Block paving driveways are known to shift and crack with time, making resin the most durable option. 

Adaptability & Customisation

If you want to add a personal touch to your driveway, resin is an excellent choice because of its customisable versatility. Resin driveways come in a variety of colours, finishes, and even patterns, allowing you to create a cohesive design by matching your driveway to the rest of your property. Block paving driveways have fewer design options, making them significantly less adaptable. 

Simple & Low Maintenance

Resin driveways are an excellent choice for busy households because of their incredible endurance, requiring significantly less care than block paving, for example. We usually recommend that homeowners who invest in a resin driveway sweep and jet wash it on occasion to keep it looking good. Block paving driveways, on the other hand, require additional maintenance because they must be resealed on a regular basis.

Sustainability

Resin driveways are an ideal choice for ecologically conscious homeowners. Resin is a porous material that allows water to seep through the surface, lowering the risk of run-off and flooding. Block paving is an impervious surface, thus you are more likely to have a flooded driveway.

To summarise, resin driveways are typically the best option for homeowners seeking a safe, long-lasting, and visually beautiful driveway. Resin driveways are an economical and long-lasting investment for your home, improving its market value. Consider investing in a resin driveway to gain the benefits while making your exterior look warm and friendly.
