Resin driveways in Heswall
Heswall sits on the slope above the Dee estuary, so lots of drives here aren't flat. A resin bound surface suits a sloping drive well, as long as the base and falls are set up properly first.

Things to know in Heswall
Sloping drives
On a sloping drive, the base has to be firm and the falls set so water runs where you want it, not towards the garage or the road. On steeper drives an anti-slip finish can be added to the top. We check the gradient at the survey and tell you honestly if resin is the right choice.
Conservation areas
Heswall Lower Village and Gayton are both conservation areas. If your house is in one, check with Wirral Council before changing walls, gates or the front boundary. We'll flag it at the survey.
Drainage
A resin bound surface laid on a new porous base lets rain soak through. That means no planning permission is needed for the front garden, and less water runs onto the road.

FAQ
Heswall questions
Can you lay resin on a steep drive in Heswall?
Usually, yes. It depends on the gradient and the base. We measure it at the survey and can add an anti-slip finish. If a drive is too steep for resin to be the sensible option, we'll tell you.
Do I need permission if I'm in the Lower Village conservation area?
A permeable driveway doesn't need planning permission in itself. Walls, gates and front boundaries can be controlled in a conservation area, so check with Wirral Council first.
