Eclipse resin driveway
Black with silver and grey.
What it suits
Pairing with a silver or grey main area as a contrasting border.
The detail
The most conventional black-with-silver combination, and the one most often specified as a frame around a lighter drive rather than as the drive itself.
Upkeep
As Polaris.
What it costs
MyBuilder puts the premium for bespoke blends, recycled glass and marble aggregates at 30 to 50 per cent on material costs, against standard aggregates such as golden quartz or silver granite. On a 50m² drive, where materials run roughly £2,000 to £3,500 on the published rates, that is a few hundred pounds — real money, but rarely the line that decides the quote.
Eclipse is a bespoke blend, so it sits on the premium side of that line. Across the whole job that difference is real but modest: the surface is £40–£120 per m² before groundwork, and groundwork is the line that actually decides the total.
Other black and charcoal blends
Black and charcoal
Modern and severe. More often a border or an accent than a whole driveway, though it does work as one.

Tell us the drive and where you are. Your details go to installers who cover your postcode — we publish costs, we do not lay driveways, and nobody gets your number until you send this.
- We are a cost guide, not an installer — so we have nothing to gain from talking the price up.
- Your postcode decides who hears about it. No postcode, no route.
- Three quotes is the standard advice, because the same job varies 20 to 30 per cent between firms.
- No number is a quote until someone has stood on your drive.
Estimates on this site are arithmetic on published cost-guide rates. They are not quotes, not offers, and not based on seeing your property.
