About Lymington
Lymington is a historic port and sailing town on the western edge of the Solent, sitting between the New Forest National Park to the north and the Lymington River estuary to the south. The town is consistently ranked among the most desirable places to live on the south coast - its Georgian high street, working marina, ferry connection to the Isle of Wight and proximity to the New Forest give it a quality of life that attracts a high proportion of professionals, retirees and second home owners. Property values in Lymington are among the highest in Hampshire.
The housing stock ranges from the Georgian and Victorian terraces of the town centre conservation area to the large detached homes in Pennington and the Forest-edge villages. The coastal and estuarine location means salt air resistance and UV stability matter for any surface finish, and the permeable surface requirement is important given the local drainage context. Resin bound meets all of these requirements and delivers a finish that suits Lymington's high-quality built environment.
Lymington's property values are among the highest on the south coast - a resin bound driveway is one of the most impactful and lasting improvements you can make to kerb appeal.

Resin vs Block Paving vs Tarmac
Not sure which surface is right for your driveway? Here's a straight comparison of the three most common options.
| Resin Bound | Block Paving | Tarmac | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | 20-25+ years | 15-20 years | 10-15 years |
| Maintenance | Very low - sweep and rinse | Re-sanding, weed removal needed | Low, but cracks over time |
| Drainage | Fully permeable - SuDS compliant | Permeable if laid correctly | Not permeable |
| Weeds | No joints - no weeds | Weeds grow in joints | Can crack and allow weeds |
| Appearance | Wide colour choice, stays looking new | Traditional look, can look dated | Plain black finish only |
| Planning Permission | Usually not needed (permeable) | Depends on drainage spec | Often needed (impermeable) |
| Cost per m² | £100-£300 | £80-£200 | £40-£100 |
Our 10-Year Guarantee
Every resin driveway, pathway or patio we install comes with a 10-year workmanship guarantee covering the installation itself. That's not a figure we picked because it sounds good - it reflects what a correctly installed resin bound surface on a properly prepared sub-base is actually expected to last.
The guarantee is only worth something if the groundwork is right. Every job starts with a proper site assessment, and we'll always tell you upfront if the existing base needs more work before resin goes down - rather than cutting corners and hoping for the best. We don't subcontract: the team who quote your job are the team who install it.

Feedback from homeowners across Bournemouth, Poole and the surrounding area.
"Really pleased with the driveway. We had an old cracked concrete drive that had been an eyesore for years. The team turned up on time, kept the site tidy, and the finished result looks great. The buff colour with the charcoal border was their suggestion and it suits the house perfectly."
Sarah M.
Poole
"Used Resin Driveways Bournemouth for a patio and side path. Couldn't fault them - straightforward quote, no pushy sales, turned up when they said they would and finished on time. The grey finish on the patio looks brilliant and is so easy to keep clean."
James T.
Bournemouth
"Had three quotes and went with these guys because they took the time to explain exactly what they were doing and why. The driveway has been down six months now and still looks brand new. Would recommend without hesitation."
Karen H.
Christchurch
"Had the driveway and the front path done at the same time. The guys matched the colour through from the drive to the path so it all flows nicely. Good value, well finished, no mess left behind."
Dave R.
Ferndown
"The patio at the back of our house was in a terrible state - old sunken slabs with weeds everywhere. The resin is a completely different level. Comfortable to walk on, no weeds, and it drains properly after rain. Wish we'd done it years ago."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a resin driveway in Lymington?
In most cases, no. New Forest District Council follows permitted development rules allowing permeable driveways without a planning application. Lymington has a significant conservation area covering the Georgian high street and surrounding streets. If your property is within the conservation area or is listed, check with New Forest District Council's planning department before proceeding. Resin bound's permeable nature generally supports the permitted development case.
Is resin suitable for coastal properties in Lymington?
Yes - UV-stable resins resist the strong coastal sun and salt air that Lymington's waterfront and estuary-facing properties experience. The permeable surface also handles the higher moisture levels typical of coastal and tidal locations. We have considerable experience working on properties close to the Lymington River and the Solent coast.
What areas around Lymington do you cover?
We cover Lymington and the surrounding area including Pennington, Milford on Sea, Keyhaven, Boldre, Brockenhurst, Sway, Everton and the New Forest villages along the A337 corridor.
How long does a resin driveway last in Lymington?
A properly installed resin bound driveway lasts 20-25 years. We back every installation with our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Is resin suitable for the older Georgian and Victorian properties in Lymington town centre?
Yes - natural aggregate colours in buff, silver grey and flint complement the Georgian and Regency character of Lymington's town centre properties very well. We can bring samples to your free site visit to find a colour that works with your property's materials.
How long does installation take in Lymington?
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days. The surface needs 24-48 hours to cure before it can be driven on.
