"After considering multiple different companies I made the decision to use Smart Resin Driveways and it was a choice well made. The finish on the resin sparkles and the design is amazing! The boys were really knowledgeable on explaining the different types of resin and the process as a whole. They left the job tidy and removed all waste. Like my new driveway the process couldn't have been any smoother. 10 out of 10."

Properly local

We're St Albans based, laying driveways and patios across the city and out through Hertfordshire to Watford, Kings Langley and Hemel Hempstead. We know the local clay-heavy ground and how wet Hertfordshire winters lift a badly-laid drive, so we dig deep, lay a proper sub-base and build them to last.

Common questions

If we haven't answered yours, just call - Charles or one of the team will help.

What driveway and patio surfaces do you install?
We install block paving, resin-bound and resin-bonded driveways, porcelain and natural stone patios, Indian sandstone, concrete and tarmac. On your free visit we'll talk through what suits your property and budget.
Is the quote really free? Will you pressure me to book?
Yes, completely free, with no hard sell. We give you a written quote and follow up once - that's it. Most of our customers compare three quotes; we're happy to be one of them.
Are you insured?
Yes - we carry full public liability and employer's liability insurance. We're happy to email a copy of the certificate before any work starts. Just ask.
What's covered by the 10-year guarantee?
All workmanship - meaning if your driveway or patio sinks, cracks or lifts because of how we laid it, we come back and put it right at no cost, for 10 years. Materials are covered separately by the manufacturer's warranty.
Do you dig up my old driveway first?
Usually yes. A long-lasting drive depends on a proper sub-base, so we excavate the old surface, lay and compact a fresh foundation, and sort drainage before the new surface goes down.
How long does a driveway or patio take?
Most domestic driveways take 3 to 7 days depending on size, surface and groundwork. Patios are often quicker. You get a clear timescale in your written quote before any work starts.
Do you work outside St Albans?
Our core area is St Albans, Watford, Kings Langley, Hemel Hempstead and surrounding villages across Hertfordshire. We can occasionally take jobs further afield - best to call and check.
Do I need to pay anything up front?
No - you don't pay a penny up front. There's no deposit and no staged payments. You settle up only once the job is finished and you're completely happy with it.
