Modern resin bound driveway for a contemporary home in Surrey
The owners of this newly built contemporary property at St George’s Hill wanted a driveway that matched the scale and quality of the home. With 505m² to cover, the surface needed to feel generous, clean and permanent – sympathetic to the architecture without being fussy. Resin bound paving in Clearstone Metro grey delivered exactly that.

“The driveway was the finishing touch the house needed. We’d spent a long time on the build and we wanted the approach to feel like it belonged. The colour was exactly right and the finish is exactly what we had in mind. ”

The result
The finished driveway gives the property a confident, clean approach that suits the scale and character of the house. At 505m², it is one of the larger residential installations we have completed – and the size of the surface makes the colour choice all the more important. Metro grey works well here: cool and contemporary, without being cold.
The homeowners now have a surface that is:
- smart, low-maintenance and built to last
- permeable and compliant with drainage requirements
- finished with a clean granite sett edge that suits the property
- visually in keeping with the contemporary architecture
The challenge
The existing surface was loose gravel – a common choice on larger driveways, but one that comes with familiar problems. Stones migrate across the approach, collect in doorways and end up inside the property. On a 505m² area, the maintenance requirement is significant and the aesthetic rarely does justice to a well-considered house.
The owners wanted a surface that:
- would stay fixed – no loose stone, no scatter
- required minimal upkeep
- felt refined and permanent
- complemented the architecture of the new build
Why resin worked well for this project
Resin bound paving suits a new build contemporary property for several reasons. The smooth, seamless surface complements clean architectural lines in a way that block paving or gravel does not. It can be laid at scale without visible joins or pattern interruptions, which matters on a driveway of this size.
For this project, resin offered several advantages:
- no loose stone – nothing to scatter or track indoors
- improved drainage – fully permeable, SuDS compliant
- a refined, minimal appearance suited to the architecture
- granite sett edging to give a precise, considered finish
- minimal ongoing maintenance for the homeowners
