One point of contact, start to finish
Shire General Contracting lays resin bound driveways in St Albans and across Hertfordshire. Every drive is built by our own team on a properly prepared, permeable base, so it stays smooth, drains well and looks good for years.
We mix UV-stable polyurethane resin with kiln-dried natural aggregate and trowel it by hand onto a base of permeable tarmac or concrete. The result is a flat, seamless surface with no loose stones and no joints for weeds to grow through.

A resin surface is only as good as what sits beneath it, so most of our time goes on the parts you never see. Our guides explain how long a resin driveway lasts and how resin bound compares with block paving.
In England, a new or replacement front driveway over five square metres normally needs planning permission unless water can drain through it or onto a lawn or border within the property. Resin bound surfaces laid on a permeable base let water drain straight through, which is why they are a popular choice for front drives.
St Albans has several conservation areas, and listed buildings carry their own rules. If your home is in one, check with St Albans City and District Council before work starts. We are happy to help you think through what to ask.
