Smooth surfacing without loose stones
A resin bound driveway combines selected aggregate with clear resin before the mixture is laid and levelled. The result is a smooth decorative surface rather than loose gravel or stones scattered onto a resin-coated base. We assess the existing surface, edges, vehicle use and drainage before work starts. Weak areas must be corrected because resin follows the strength and shape of what supports it. Sound preparation also helps the finished layer maintain an even appearance.
Colour, curing and drainage considered
Aggregate blends let you choose a tone that sits comfortably beside the property rather than looking like an afterthought. We show how colour and stone size affect the finished character. A resin bound surface can support permeability where the complete build-up beneath it has been designed for this purpose. During preparation, laying and curing, access must be controlled so vehicles and feet do not mark the material before it hardens. We explain those restrictions in advance.
Frequently asked questions
Is resin bound the same as resin-bonded surfacing?
No. Resin bound aggregate is mixed with resin before laying, creating a smooth connected layer. Resin-bonded surfacing scatters aggregate onto a resin layer and has a different texture.
Can resin be laid over our current driveway?
That depends on the existing base. We check its stability, level and drainage, then identify weak areas or preparation needed before deciding whether it can support the new surface.
When can we use the driveway after laying?
The resin must cure without vehicle or pedestrian damage. The required wait depends on the installed system and conditions, so we give you clear access instructions for your project.
