Golden Quartz resin driveway
A single-colour warm gold rather than a blend.
What it suits
Red and buff brick, and anything where you want the drive to recede rather than announce itself.
The detail
Golden quartz is one of the two aggregates MyBuilder names as a standard option, alongside silver granite. That makes it the benchmark price rather than a premium one, and the sensible starting point if the quote matters more than the finish.
Upkeep
Mid-tone, so it hides dust and leaf staining better than a cream and shows tyre marks less than a pale blend.
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.
Golden Quartz sits on the standard side of that line, so it is the benchmark rather than the premium. 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.

- 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.
