Thinking about replacing an old, tired or high-maintenance driveway?
Drayton Estates Group installs premium resin-bound driveways throughout St Ives and the surrounding area, creating attractive, practical surfaces designed around both your property and the way you use it. From Complete Resin Driveway transformations to Resin Pathway Installations, Resin Patios and garden spaces, every installation is managed by our own experienced team, including the important groundwork beneath the finished resin surface.
Whether you're replacing ageing concrete, loose gravel, worn paving or starting with an area that needs to be completely excavated and rebuilt, we'll help you create a finish that looks right for your home and is built properly from the ground up.
Why Choose a Resin Driveway?
UV Stable
Premium UV-stable resin helps your chosen aggregate retain its appearance and gives your driveway a clean, consistent finish.
100% Permeable
Correctly installed resin-bound systems allow water to drain through the surface rather than simply sitting on top.
Multi-Layer Strength
Built from the base up - It is the Drayton Standard to ensure we provide our six-step installation process with every install.
Hard Wearing & Long
Lasting
The finished resin surface forms part of a carefully prepared system designed to cope with regular vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Our Resin Services
Resin isn't limited to driveways.
At Drayton Estates Group, we use resin-bound surfacing to create Resin Driveways, Resin Pathways, Resin Patio areas and usable garden spaces for homeowners throughout St Ives and the surrounding villages.
Every property is different. Some customers want to completely Replace An Existing Driveway. Others want to improve access to the front door, create a cleaner pathway around the side of their home or transform an awkward section of garden into somewhere they can actually use.
Whatever the project, we look at the complete area before recommending the right approach. Preparation matters just as much as the surface you eventually see. Where excavation, sub-base work, drainage, edging or other groundwork is required, this is completed as part of our installation process rather than simply covering over an unsuitable existing surface.
We pride ourselves in provide Quality At Every Step - That is The Drayton Standard.

Resin Driveway Installation in St Ives, Cambridgeshire
This resin driveway project in St Ives, Cambridgeshire was the perfect example of why many homeowners choose to Replace A Traditional Gravel Driveway with a Premium Resin-Bound surface. The property had a large gravel driveway that looked attractive when freshly maintained, but keeping it that way had become a constant job. Loose stone needed regular clearing and redistribution, while weeds continued to appear through the surface.
The homeowners wanted a smarter, lower-maintenance solution that would improve the appearance of the property while providing a durable driveway they could enjoy for years to come.
Our Customer Had
Our customer had a large gravel driveway in St Ives that required continual maintenance.
Loose gravel was regularly being displaced across the driveway and surrounding areas, creating an ongoing job to sweep, rake and redistribute the stone. Weed growth was also becoming frustrating, requiring repeated treatment and maintenance to keep the driveway looking tidy.
The size of the area meant these problems were amplified, and the homeowners were ready to replace the gravel with a cleaner, more practical long-term surface.
Our Customer Wanted
The homeowners wanted a low-maintenance driveway solution that would dramatically reduce the constant clearing associated with loose gravel and help minimise unwanted weed growth.
They also wanted the new driveway to enhance the appearance of their St Ives property, creating a smoother, more refined entrance that complemented the home while remaining practical for everyday vehicle use.
After considering the available options, a resin-bound driveway provided the combination of appearance, practicality and easier maintenance they were looking for.
What We Planned With Our Customer
Rather than simply installing a new surface over the existing driveway, in agreement with the home owner we planned a Complete Resin Driveway installation from the ground up.
Working with the customer, we agreed on a full excavation of the existing gravel driveway and the construction of the correct foundations required for a long-lasting resin-bound surface. Completing with Quality At Every Step - That's The Drayton Standard.
This meant there was one team responsible for the project from the first excavation through to the final finish.
What We Were Able To Deliver
We delivered a complete Resin-Bound Driveway transformation in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, replacing the high-maintenance gravel surface with a clean, seamless and practical resin finish.
The existing driveway was fully excavated before the new foundations and supporting layers were installed and prepared correctly. Once the groundwork was complete, the chosen resin-bound surface was professionally installed to create the finished driveway.
Most importantly, the project wasn't simply resurfaced. It was excavated, prepared and rebuilt properly through to the finished resin surface, giving the customer the complete Drayton Estates Group installation.

Your questions answered by Cambridgeshire Resin Specialist
Do you install resin driveways throughout St Ives?
Yes. We install resin-bound driveways and other resin surfaces throughout St Ives and regularly cover nearby areas including Houghton, Wyton, the Hemingfords, Fenstanton and Needingworth.
Can you replace my existing driveway with resin?
In many cases, yes. The first step is assessing the condition and construction of the existing driveway. Depending on what is already there, the project may require excavation and new groundwork before the resin surface can be installed correctly.
Can I choose the colour of my resin driveway?
Yes. Resin-bound surfacing is available in a wide selection of aggregate blends, allowing the finished driveway to be chosen to complement the brickwork, exterior and overall character of your property.
We can discuss suitable options with you during your site visit.
Do you complete the groundwork yourselves?
Yes. Ground preparation is a major part of what we do. Where excavation, sub-base preparation and associated groundwork are required, these stages can be completed by the Drayton Estates Group team as part of the installation.
Do you only install resin driveways?
No. We also install resin-bound pathways, patios and garden areas. Check out our Recent Resin Installs.
