At Booth Tarmacadam, we have extensive experience throughout Ipswich, Suffolk and East Anglia in laying resin-bound gravel driveways, paths and parking areas for both residential and commercial properties either in single colour materials or incorporating single,contrast-colour or multi-coloured designs.

You may wish to choose gravel colours to compliment your property - or stand out from the neighbourhood crowd. The experienced team at Booths Ipswich are on hand to work with you to make your pictorial gravel design ideas a reality. Alternatively, if you like the concept but need a little inspiration, we can share a range of pleasing patterns to suit the size and layouty of you driveway, patio, parking or pathway space.
Resin-bound gravel is a long-lasting and low-maintenance one-stop solution for driveways, patios and paths. The nature of this porous, free-draining gravel surfacing means that you can enjoy a puddle-free driveway, path or patio without the need to install additional drainage.
A base, sub-base and binding course are required for all new resin-bound surfaces and at Booth Tarmacadam, we can undertake all the appropriate groundworks.
At Booth Tarmacadam, our highly experienced team will carry out a comprehensive site assessment for your new driveway. We will discuss any groundworks and your design ideas, should you wish to incorporate a pattern into any part of the new surface.
Edging - Our resin-bound driveways are usually edged with high low key kerbs - as shown in the photos here. Other options may be available and some customers choose to include a defining edge line in a contrasting resin-bound gravel colour, particularly if they have included a pictorial design.
Specifications - For driveways, we recommend a resin-bound gravel surface of 18mm depth. Once installed, the surface is walk-ready within 24 hours and drive-ready in 48 hours.
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) is the name given to the UK government legislation that came into effect in October 2008. The legislation helps to prevent flash-flooding, particularly in built-up areas.

Resin-bound gravel is a stylish, durable, and low-maintenance option for driveways, patios, and paths. Here are answers to common questions about this popular surfacing choice, helping you understand its benefits and options.
Resin-bound gravel combines natural stones with a clear resin binder, creating a smooth, durable, and porous surface. Unlike loose gravel, it stays in place, resists weeds, and provides a puddle-free finish.
Absolutely! Resin-bound gravel is highly customisable. You can choose from a wide range of colours and even incorporate bespoke designs like logos, house numbers, or patterns to make your driveway unique.
No, resin-bound gravel is naturally permeable, allowing water to drain through the surface. This eliminates puddles and often removes the need for additional drainage systems, ensuring compliance with UK legislation.
Once the sub-base and groundworks are prepared, the resin-bound surface can be installed quickly. It is typically walk-ready within 24 hours and ready for vehicle use within 48 hours.
There are a number of resin-bound gravel surface colours available. You may wish to choose a gravel colour which contrasts with your property's brickwork or colour. We are always pleased to assist should you need help or advice on colour selection.
