Resin Bound Driveways
Our resin bound driveways combine durability with sustainability through innovative material blends. Each installation resists heavy loads while maintaining permeability for SUDS compliance. The seamless finish prevents loose chippings and offers bespoke design options. With single-day installation available, homeowners benefit from rapid transformation with minimal disruption. Our 20-year guarantee reflects confidence in this premium solution.
Recycle Bound Surfaces
This world-first solution repurposes plastic waste into durable outdoor surfaces. Each square metre incorporates equivalent of 3,000 plastic straws, creating sustainable options for driveways and pathways. The system meets rigorous safety standards while maintaining aesthetic flexibility. Commercial clients benefit from enhanced corporate social responsibility credentials through this environmentally conscious choice.
Wet Pour Surfaces
Specially formulated for high-traffic areas requiring non-slip properties, our wet pour surfaces meet accessibility standards. Ideal for commercial playgrounds and public spaces, the porous material prevents waterlogging. Installation includes precise gradient management for optimal drainage. This solution combines safety compliance with long-term durability.
Commercial Resin Solutions
Tailored for commercial properties, our systems address high-traffic demands while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Applications include hotel pool surrounds, retail car parks, and educational facility pathways. The surfaces meet strict safety regulations and offer branding opportunities through custom designs. Maintenance packages ensure sustained performance across business environments.
Resin Patios
Transform garden spaces with our seamless resin patio surfaces that combine style with practicality. The non-slip finish ensures safety in wet conditions while the permeable structure prevents puddling. Available in multiple colour blends, each installation complements property architecture. Low-maintenance design preserves appearance with minimal homeowner effort required.

The Oltco Devon team of Scott, Cam, Declan and Harvey recently completed widening and re-laying our drive. It included a lot of preparatory groundwork before the resin layer was added, that was done efficiently and tidily and care was taken to minimise disruption to us and our neighbours. From our first meeting with Scott to the completion of the work we were very impressed by the team whose attention to detail deserves special mention.
The new drive has completely transformed the front of our house, enabled us to park our cars side by side and made access to the front door much easier. The team worked very hard and finished exactly on schedule. They were a pleasure to deal with and we would recommend anyone who is planning to have their drive re-laid to contact Oltco. Several of our neighbours said how impressed they were by the teams hard work and on the quality of our new drive. Some asked for Oltcos contact details at the time.

The service was amazing from start to finish. Phil was brilliant with the initial sales and estimation, making everything clear and easy. The groundworks team did a great job preparing the area, but the real standout was Sean, who laid the entire resin driveway on his own. His attention to detail and hard work really shows in the final result. We are incredibly impressed with the finish, and weve already had several neighbours asking who carried out the work. Highly recommend this team for a professional, high-quality transformation!

Great from start to finish, as ever going above and beyond. Inder, Bobby and the boys have now completed 3 driveways for our family and one for our neighbour, everyone is really happy with their work. All have been completed quickly, efficiently and neatly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We didn't end up proceeding with a resin driveway in the end but the professionalism and quality of product from Oltco was second to none. Maybe cross paths again in the future.
