Resin Bound Patios & Driveways Oadby
Resin bound surfacing is one of the most popular upgrades we install in Oadby. Natural, kiln-dried stone is mixed with a clear, UV-stable resin and hand-trowelled into a smooth, seamless finish with no loose stones.
Because the finished surface is fully permeable, rainwater soaks straight through instead of pooling or running into the road. That makes resin bound a great fit for front driveways (where drainage rules apply) and for patios on the heavy, slow-draining clay found in many Oadby gardens.
We install resin bound driveways at the depth needed for vehicles and resin bound patios and paths for foot traffic, always on a base that is designed to drain, not just a skim over whatever is already there.
Resin Bound Driveways
Laid at vehicle depth on a permeable sub-base or a sound existing surface, with neat block or steel edging and built-in falls.
Resin Bound Patios
A clean, modern patio that drains through its surface, stays level and is comfortable underfoot. Perfect next to bi-fold doors.
Resin Paths & Surrounds
Garden paths, steps, pond and hot tub surrounds and accessible ramps in matching or contrasting colours.
Resin bound or resin bonded: what is the difference?
They sound alike but they are very different surfaces. Resin bound stone is fully mixed with resin before it is laid, giving a smooth, permeable finish with no loose gravel. Resin bonded means resin is spread first and loose stone is scattered on top, which gives a textured, gravel-like finish that is not permeable and can shed stones over time.
For driveways and patios in Oadby we normally recommend resin bound, as it drains naturally and helps you stay within front garden planning rules.
Ideal for
- ✔ Front driveways
- ✔ Patios next to bi-fold doors
- ✔ Garden paths and steps
- ✔ Step-free and wheelchair access
- ✔ Replacing tired tarmac or concrete

— Local knowledge
Drainage, Soil & Planning Rules in Oadby
Ground conditions vary a lot across Oadby. Many gardens sit on heavy clay that holds water after rain, and some plots slope and need levelling, steps or retaining walls, while others drain more freely. We check your soil and levels at the survey so drainage is designed in from day one, not fixed afterwards.
If you are paving more than 5 square metres of front garden in England, the new surface must either be permeable or drain to a lawn, border or soakaway within your property. Otherwise you will usually need planning permission from Oadby and Wigston Borough Council. Permeable options such as resin bound driveways and permeable block paving keep you within the rules. Different rules can apply to listed buildings and conservation areas, and we will flag anything you need to check.
— Pricing
How Much Does a Landscaper Cost in Oadby?
Every garden is different, so we always price after a free site visit rather than guessing over the phone. The main things that affect the cost of landscaping, patios and driveways are:
-
Size of the area
Most surfaces are priced per square metre, so larger areas cost more overall but often less per metre.
-
Materials
Porcelain, natural stone, resin bound, block paving, decking and fencing all vary in price and labour.
-
Groundworks
Removing old patios, concrete or tarmac, levelling slopes and dealing with heavy clay or poor ground.
-
Drainage
Soakaways, channel drains, land drains and permeable bases needed for your soil and planning rules.
-
Access & waste
Narrow side access, hand-barrowing and skip or grab lorry waste removal.
-
Design details
Steps, walls, raised beds, curves, lighting and feature areas all add time and materials.

— FAQs
Landscaper Oadby: Frequently Asked Questions
Can't see your question? Call us on 0116 202 9871.
How much does a landscaper cost in Oadby?
It depends on the size of the area, the materials you choose, how much groundwork and drainage is needed and how easy access is. We give every customer a free site visit and a fixed written quote, so you know exactly what you will pay before any work starts.
What landscaping services do you offer in Oadby?
We cover garden design and makeovers, porcelain and natural stone patios, resin bound patios and driveways, block paving and tarmac driveways, fencing and gates, decking, turfing, artificial grass, garden walls, raised beds, paths and steps, gravel, drainage, planting and garden clearance.
Do you install resin bound patios and driveways in Oadby?
Yes. Resin bound patios, driveways and paths are one of our specialities. We install them on a properly prepared, free-draining base, with a wide choice of natural stone colour blends and neat edging.
What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded?
Resin bound stone is mixed with resin before it is laid and trowelled smooth, giving a permeable surface with no loose stones. Resin bonded has stone scattered onto a layer of resin, giving a textured, gravel-like finish that is not permeable. For most driveways and patios we recommend resin bound.
How long does a resin bound driveway last?
When it is laid at the correct depth on a suitable, well-built base, a resin bound driveway can last 20 years or more. The quality of the base and installation makes the biggest difference, which is why we never cut corners on groundwork.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway or patio in Oadby?
Usually not. A new front driveway over 5 square metres must be permeable or drain into a lawn, border or soakaway on your property, otherwise you may need permission from Oadby and Wigston Borough Council. Back garden patios are normally permitted development, but listed buildings and conservation areas can have extra rules.
How long does a garden landscaping project take?
Small jobs such as a new lawn or fence can take a day or two, a patio or resin driveway usually takes a few days, and a full garden makeover can take one to a few weeks. We give you a clear timescale with your quote.
When is the best time of year to landscape a garden?
Hard landscaping such as patios, driveways, walls and fencing can be done for most of the year, avoiding hard frosts and very heavy rain. Turfing and planting are best done in spring or autumn when the ground is moist and mild.
Can you deal with heavy clay soil and waterlogged gardens?
Yes. Much of Oadby sits on heavy clay that drains slowly. We assess your soil at the survey and design in land drains, soakaways or permeable surfaces so your new garden or driveway does not suffer from standing water.
Do you cover villages outside Oadby?
Yes. As well as Oadby we cover Wigston, South Wigston, Knighton, Stoneygate, Evington, Thurnby, Bushby, Stoughton, Scraptoft, Great Glen, Kibworth, Houghton on the Hill, Countesthorpe, Blaby, Glen Parva and the surrounding villages.
