About Bracken & Stone
A South Wales crew that treats your drive like our own
Bracken & Stone has been laying resin-bound driveways, patios and garden landscaping across South Wales since 2009. We are a small, local outfit — the people who quote your job are the people who turn up to build it.
Our story
Built up from one van and a wheelbarrow
We started out in 2009 resurfacing tired front drives in the terraced streets of the South Wales valleys. The weather here is hard on a driveway — wet winters, clay ground and a lot of standing water — so we learned early that the preparation matters far more than the finish coat.
Fifteen years on, that has not changed. We still dig out and build up the sub-base properly, still check where the water is going to run, and still lay the resin by hand rather than spraying it on and hoping. It takes longer. It is why our surfaces are still level a decade later.
Today we work right across South Wales — from Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan out to Swansea, Newport, Bridgend and the valleys. Same crew, same standards, same phone number you can ring years after the job is done.

What we stand for
Four things we refuse to compromise on
They are not slogans on a van. They are the rules our crews work to on every driveway, patio and garden we take on across South Wales.
Craftsmanship
Every surface is laid by hand by the same crew that surveyed it. We trowel, compact and finish each metre ourselves — no rushed subcontracted labour, no shortcuts hidden under the resin.
Honest pricing
One clear written quote, itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for. No day-rate creep, no surprise extras once the work has started, no pressure to sign on the spot.
Tidy workmanship
Dust sheets down, edges masked, tools cleared and the drive swept before we leave each day. You should be able to use your front door throughout the job.
Local accountability
We live and work in the same valleys as our customers. If something needs putting right, you can ring the same number and speak to the same people who built it.
Credentials
Properly insured, properly guaranteed
Anyone can quote for a driveway. Ask them what happens if the resin lifts in three years, or who pays if a wall gets clipped. Here is exactly where we stand.
Free site survey. We measure up, check drainage and ground conditions, then send a fixed written quote — usually within two working days.
