About Ringwood
Ringwood is a market town sitting on the western edge of the New Forest, straddling the county boundary between Hampshire and Dorset. The town centre retains much of its traditional market town character - Georgian and Victorian buildings along the high street, a weekly market that has operated for centuries, and the River Avon running through the water meadows to the west. The surrounding residential areas extend out to Poulner and Hightown to the north, and to the planned residential developments of Ashley Heath and St Leonards to the south on the Dorset side.
Ringwood sits on the edge of the New Forest National Park, and parts of the surrounding countryside fall within the National Park boundary. The town's proximity to both the forest and the River Avon valley means soil conditions vary - from free-draining sandy and gravelly heathland soils on the higher ground to wetter alluvial clays near the river. Permeable resin bound driveways handle both well.
Properties on the edge of the New Forest tend to have larger plots and longer driveways - resin bound gives these homes the durable, natural-looking surface they deserve.

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 Ringwood?
In most cases, no. The New Forest District Council follows permitted development rules that allow permeable driveways to be installed without a planning application. Resin bound surfaces are fully SuDS compliant and permeable, so they normally fall within permitted development rights. Properties within the New Forest National Park boundary or in a conservation area should check with the relevant planning authority first.
What areas around Ringwood do you cover?
We cover Ringwood and the surrounding area including Poulner, Hightown, Ashley Heath, St Leonards, St Ives, Crow, Hangersley, Ellingham and Blashford.
How does resin bound perform in the New Forest area?
The New Forest area has a mix of sandy heathland soils and river valley clays depending on location. Both soil types are well-served by a properly installed permeable resin driveway. The permeable sub-base handles the drainage regardless of underlying soil conditions.
How long does a resin driveway last in Ringwood?
A properly installed resin bound driveway lasts 20-25 years. We back every installation with our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Can resin bound surfaces be used on rural properties or farm driveways?
Yes - resin bound works well on longer rural driveways and can be laid over an existing compacted stone or tarmac base where this is in good condition. We assess every site on a free visit.
How long does installation take?
Most residential driveways in Ringwood take 1-2 days. The surface needs 24-48 hours to cure before it can be driven on.
