Quick Reference: Permeable Driveway Materials and Cost Factors

Permeable resin-bound driveways allow rainwater to naturally drain, reducing puddles and supporting local water management. When budgeting, account for both the resin binder—such as Polirock Polyurethane Binder (recommended for white stones)—and the aggregate, like our Washed Pebbles or a complete Flowstone kit. Prices typically start from just under £50 per square metre for DIY materials, with total surface area, foundation work and design choices influencing final costs.

What’s Included in a Permeable Driveway Kit?

Buying a complete kit ensures you have all components for a professional-quality finish. The “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin features:

  • Customisable finish: Choose from a variety of colours and granule sizes
  • Simple application: User-friendly, suitable for both professionals and confident DIYers
