Silver Grey Resin Driveway

Shire Driveways recently completed a resin driveway transformation, replacing an old, worn stone driveway with a sleek silver grey resin surface, finished with a charcoal border for a clean, modern look.

To enhance functionality and accessibility, we also built a custom step near the front door, providing a stylish and practical entrance to the home.

The client wanted a durable, low-maintenance driveway that would improve both the appearance and usability of their outdoor space.

Challenges & Requirements

  • The existing stone driveway was uneven and outdated, needing a full replacement.
  • The client wanted a modern, smooth surface that was easy to maintain.
  • A charcoal border was added to frame the driveway and create a defined, stylish finish.
  • A front door step was built to improve access and complement the new driveway design.

The Installation Process

  • Excavation & Base Preparation:

    • The old stone driveway was fully removed, and the ground was levelled and compacted.
    • A new, reinforced sub-base was laid to provide stability and long-term durability.
  • Laying the Resin Surface:

    • The silver grey resin was poured and expertly spread for a smooth, seamless finish.
    • The UV-stable resin ensures long-lasting colour and resistance to weathering.
  • Adding the Charcoal Border:

    • A contrasting charcoal border was installed to frame the driveway and enhance the design.
    • This defined edge provides a polished, high-end look while complementing the silver grey surface.
  • Building the Front Door Step:

    • A custom-built step was constructed near the front door using matching materials, ensuring a consistent, modern aesthetic.
    • The step provides safe and convenient access to the entrance while blending seamlessly with the new driveway.

The Result

The completed silver grey resin driveway has given the property a modern, refreshed look, replacing the outdated stone with a durable, smooth, and stylish surface. The charcoal border adds a sharp, defined finish, while the new front door step improves accessibility and complements the overall design. The client now has a low-maintenance driveway that is both functional and visually striking.

Customer Review

Shire Driveways has completely transformed our driveway! The silver grey resin looks amazing, and the charcoal border gives it a really nice finish. The new step by the front door is a fantastic addition. The team was professional and efficient from start to finish.

Just had Shire Driveways and Landscapes install a driveway and patio in Caramel Latte resin bound gravel. We are very pleased with the result it really has lifted the kerb appeal of the property. The old concrete slab and stones were looking tired and shabby now it looks absolutely amazing. Simon and his team all worked very hard to achieve this final result and many thanks to them all. See the photos they speak for themselves.

Five-star service from Simon and the Shire team began with my first phone call, when he actually answered. Other landscaping companies had stolidly ignored my phone and contact form messages. How rude!

Simon came round the same day, and skilfully designed a porcelain-paved garden, easily chasing away all thoughts of us replacing our split-level wooden decking with composite.

His polite and friendly, professional and skilled team have left us with a stylish outdoor living space to be proud of, and I can’t wait to spend the summer enjoying it and showing it off.

I can’t recommend Simon and the team at Shire Driveways and Landscapes enough.

I wanted to share how genuinely impressed I am with the team who recently completed my new block-paved driveway and front area. Living on my own, having work done on your home can sometimes feel a little daunting, but from the very beginning they made the entire experience easy, comfortable, and completely stress-free.

What they achieved in just three days was honestly incredible. I went to work each day and came home to see the progress they had made, and the transformation of the front of my house is amazing. What was once an ordinary space is now a beautifully finished driveway that makes the whole property look smart, welcoming, and something I feel really proud of every time I arrive home.

The team were polite, respectful, and incredibly hardworking. They arrived early each morning, worked tirelessly throughout the day, and kept everything tidy and organised. It was clear they take real pride in their work, and the attention to detail in the block paving is outstanding. Every line is perfectly laid and the finish is absolutely first class.

Just as importantly, Simon wes reassuring, friendly, and professional throughout the whole process. He explained what they were doing, kept me informed, and made sure everything was exactly right. That level of care and respect meant a great deal.

The result has completely transformed the front of my home, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the outcome. It looks fantastic and has made such a positive difference.

If you’re thinking about having a driveway installed or block paving done, I would recommend this team without hesitation. Hardworking, trustworthy, and incredibly skilled — they did an outstanding job and I’m so grateful for the work they’ve done.

A huge thank you to the whole team for such a brilliant transformation.

We recently had the the pleasure of meeting Simon, Craig & Chris when they did our driveway. What a fantastic job they have completed. These are genuine nice guys, the work was efficient, fast, & as you can see from the photo’s the final product looks amazing. They go above & beyond to exceed customer expectations. They are probably not the cheapest but the quality speaks for itself.

I’m a fussy customer with massive attention to detail so was watching closely whilst the guys were working and discussing details throughout, they rebuilt our front wall and the bricklayer finished it really quickly and to a really high standard. They then laid a block edging on the driveway and finished the driveway with tarmac. The finish looks great and is exactly what I was after. They turned it around really quickly and worked long days to get the job done. The pictures speak for themselves I think. Thanks guys.

Shire Driveways and Landscapes have done both my front drive and back garden. They have done a great job, really pleased with the work and the finished look. They block paved the front, and put patio slabs at the back. Well done! Would recommend :)
