Choose a day and time
We arrange a suitable appointment to visit your Plympton property, giving us time to look at the driveway itself rather than trying to price a project from a photograph.

Resin Driveway Installers in Plympton
A resin driveway should be specified around the property, not simply sold from a brochure. The Devon Resin Co surveys the site, talks through designs, colour blends and aggregates, assesses the groundwork and gives you a clear price during the appointment.

What actually happens when you ask us to quote?
The appointment is designed to give you enough information to make a decision properly. It is part design consultation, part technical survey and part open Q&A.
2
Explore designs, aggregates and colour blends
We go through surface styles, aggregate options and colour combinations. You can use the colour guide and receive tailored suggestions informed by the property, nearby installations, previous customer choices and the established visual character of the area.
3
Survey the driveway and surrounding property
We assess the existing base, ground conditions, levels, drainage, access, boundaries, nearby trees and vegetation. We also establish whether the project is suitable for an overlay or whether a full excavation and rebuild is the better route.
4
Plan the wider project
If the driveway needs more than a new surface, we can discuss the surrounding work too, including edging, new walls, retaining walls, changes in level and the groundwork needed to bring the whole area together properly.
5
Ask as many questions as you like
Use the appointment to understand the company, the process, the materials, maintenance, warranties, guarantees and anything else you want clarified. There is no need to save your questions for later.
6
Get your price before we leave
Once the proposed specification and scope of work are clear, we calculate the price during the appointment. You are not left waiting days for someone to disappear and work out what the project costs.
7
Receive the details in writing
After the appointment, you receive an email with the project breakdown so you have useful reading material and can review what was discussed, including the proposed work and relevant product information.
8
Explore the manufacturers available
We can also show you the resin systems and manufacturers available through The Devon Resin Co, helping you understand the products that may form part of your finished installation.
A specialist company
Resin isn't one of the things we do. It's what we do.
The Devon Resin Co does not install block paving or tarmac. The company specialises in resin surfacing and has a genuine focus on the details that make a resin project work properly.
That specialism sits alongside 35 years of experience in the home improvement trade. It means the conversation can go beyond the colour of the finished surface and into preparation, permeability, aggregate choice, drainage, edging, gradients, existing bases and the practical realities of the property.
If resin is not ready to be installed properly, the groundwork comes first. The finished surface is only as good as the structure beneath it.
Before we recommend a resin system, we look at the property.
Plympton contains very different types of homes and driveway layouts. The right answer can change from one street to the next, which is why the survey is designed around the actual site rather than a postcode alone.
Existing driveway constructionConcrete, tarmac, previous groundwork and the condition of the current base all affect the specification.
Overlay or full excavationWhere an existing base is suitable, an overlay may be possible. Where it is not, the project may need excavation and reconstruction.
Drainage and water movementLevels, fall, surrounding surfaces and the route water takes across the property are considered before the finished system is specified.
Trees, roots and established boundariesMature planting, nearby trees, walls, fences and other features are considered as part of the wider driveway environment.
Access, parking and everyday useThe amount of vehicle movement, available space and how the household actually uses the driveway form part of the design conversation.
Walls, retaining walls and edgingIf the driveway needs supporting construction or a change in levels, that can be discussed as part of the same project rather than treated as an afterthought.
Your driveway does not have to look like everybody else's.
Colour and aggregate selection can change the entire character of a resin driveway. We use the consultation to help narrow the options around the home, the surrounding streetscape and the look you actually want to achieve.
See the work. Speak to people who have already had it done.
Photographs are useful, but some customers want more reassurance than a website can provide. The Devon Resin Co has previous customers across Devon who have agreed to help prospective customers understand what the experience was really like.
Speak directly to previous customers
Where a previous customer has agreed to act as a reference, prospective customers can be put in touch with them directly. That gives you the chance to ask your own questions about communication, workmanship, the survey, the installation and the finished result.
See completed work in a real setting
A number of customers are also happy for prospective customers to drive past and view completed installations from the road. Where permission has been given and a suitable example is available, you can see how the finished surface looks on an actual Devon home rather than relying solely on photographs.
When resin should not simply be laid over what is already there.
A specialist resin company should be willing to talk about the structure beneath the surface. If the existing driveway is not suitable, the answer is not to pretend otherwise.
Unstable or unsuitable baseIf the existing construction cannot support the finished system properly, preparation or reconstruction comes first.
Drainage not resolvedSurface water behaviour needs to be understood before a permeable resin system is specified around it.
Movement or surrounding structural issuesRetaining walls, boundaries, changing levels and other structural factors may need attention as part of the wider driveway project.
Three useful questions before you book.
We would rather answer the questions that matter than pad the page with twenty variations of the same FAQ.
What happens during a Plympton resin driveway survey?
The appointment covers the design, aggregate and colour choices, existing ground conditions, drainage, levels, access, surrounding trees and boundaries, and whether the project is suitable for an overlay or requires excavation. Any additional work such as edging, walls or retaining walls can also be discussed.
Can I see previous Devon Resin Co installations before deciding?
Yes. Alongside installation photographs, some previous customers have agreed that prospective customers may view completed work from the road where appropriate. Some are also happy to speak directly with prospective customers as personal references, subject to their permission.
Will I receive a price during the appointment?
Yes. Once the property has been surveyed and the proposed work and specification are clear, the price is worked out during the appointment. A written breakdown is then sent by email so you have the details to read through afterwards.
