7 Reasons to Choose Resin for Newbuild Paths and Patios
When planning paths and patios for a newbuild property, the choice of materials is crucial to both aesthetics and functionality. Resin bound surfacing is rapidly becoming a preferred solution for homeowners and developers across the UK, thanks to its balance of practicality, performance, and style. At NS Driveways Ashtead, we’ve seen first-hand how resin transforms outdoor areas in newbuild homes throughout Ashtead, Surrey.
Here are seven compelling reasons to choose resin for your newbuild paths and patios:
1. Seamless, Contemporary Finish
Resin bound surfacing delivers a smooth, joint-free appearance that looks modern and refined. Unlike block paving or slabbed patios, there are no visible joints or seams, which gives outdoor areas a clean, cohesive look that complements contemporary builds perfectly.
2. Wide Range of Colours and Styles
With countless aggregates and colour blends available, resin surfaces can be customised to suit the style of your home. Whether you want a natural stone look or something bolder, the design possibilities are nearly endless – ideal for creating paths and patios that are unique to your new property.
3. Permeable and SUDS Compliant
One of resin’s standout features is its permeability. It allows rainwater to drain through the surface, reducing runoff and helping your property comply with Sustainable Drainage System (SUDS) regulations. For newbuilds, where planning rules around water management are increasingly strict, this is a major advantage.
4. Low Maintenance Surface
Resin bound paths and patios are resistant to weeds, algae, and moss. They don’t shift or crack like other materials, and general maintenance is simple – usually just occasional sweeping and the odd power wash. This makes it ideal for busy homeowners who want a smart, easy-care garden.
5. Durable and Long-Lasting
Resin surfaces are laid over a stable sub-base, offering strength and flexibility. This means they can withstand regular foot traffic, outdoor furniture, and seasonal weather changes without cracking or becoming uneven. With proper installation, a resin patio or path can last well over a decade.
6. Slip-Resistant and Safe
The textured finish of resin bound surfacing provides excellent grip underfoot, even when wet. This makes it a safer option for homes with children, elderly residents, or areas where slipping could be a risk – such as steps, sloped paths, or around garden features.
7. Adds Value to Your Newbuild
First impressions count, and a resin patio or garden path can dramatically enhance kerb appeal. Its stylish, finished appearance creates a polished feel to the property that adds perceived and real value, especially important if you ever decide to sell in the future.
