This will depend on the size and what surface you are looking to install. A resin bound driveway on an existing base will usually take two days from start to finish. If you’re having a new base or going for asphalt or block paving, then you’re looking at four days on average.

Depending on the quality of the installation, usage and climate conditions. Tarmac/asphalt driveways can last between 15 and 20 years. However, if a tarmac driveway is not maintained correctly, these times can vary.
Most tarmac is not permeable and does not allow liquids or gas to pass through their surface. Because tarmac is impermeable, water can collect and pool on the surface of your driveway. We would recommend a resin stone driveway if your current driveway is susceptible to standing water.
To help ensure the long life of your tarmac driveway, it is vital to maintain your driveway properly. Adding a sealant to your driveway provides a barrier between the tarmac and any surface dirt or elements, keeping your driveway clean and looking new.
While tarmac is incredibly hard wearing, using a pressure washer or power hose on your driveway could damage the tarmac, especially in warmer weather where tarmac can become soft and malleable.
The drying time of tarmac can increase or decrease depending on the weather and air temperature. Typically a tarmac driveway can take around 12-24 hours to dry, depending on its size and scale. However, even if your tarmac seems dry, it may be best to wait at least 48 hours before driving on it. Our team will be able to confirm timings when they have completed laying your driveway.
A resin driveway, is an area, typically in front of a property where homeowners often park their vehicles and normally marks the entrance to the property, installed with a resin solution. Resin driveways are installed by mixing a solution of resin with stone chippings to create a low-maintenance, durable driveway.
Resin surfacing is an incredibly popular surfacing solution for pathways, patios and driveways. Resin surfacing is durable and attractive material made by mixing polyurethane resin and stones, gravel or chips of your choice.
Resin driveways are often chosen due to their permeable properties. To ensure you benefit from these properties, we recommend the surface of your driveway is also porous. Our team at iDream Solutions will be able to evaluate your existing driveway surface and discuss options with you.
Weeds should not grow through your resin driveway because of the tightly packed bonding elements within the resin, weeds cannot grow through the resin, so you won’t have to worry about de-weeding your driveway.
