Most permeable driveway materials
Which is the more permeable driveway material - sandstone paving or resin?
Expert Trade Answers
Best Answer
"Resin is permeable but would need a solid base underneath, preferably tarmac.
Sandstone wouldn’t be permeable as it would need to be laid on a strong sharp sand / cement base
Hope this helps"

"Resin as long as it's resin bound and not bonded sandstone isn't really permeable as it should be laid on a solid bed of mortar and pointed up"

"Resin bound is more permeable, even more so if you use a permeable sub base, I.e an open grade tarmac, this is what I use as a sub base for all driveways"
