What Is Resin-Bound Surfacing?
Resin Bound surfacing is extremely versatile and gives you a huge range of options for you drive, apth or patio. The resin bound system is a fairly simple one, you choose the colour or colours of stone you want, we mix it with a resin and then trowel onto the base surface. It can be applied to an existing surface such as tarmac or concrete or we will dig out your existing surface and install a whole new drive for you.
This system is extremely hard-wearing and a stunning alternative to block paving, tarmac or concrete surfaces. It is a highly versatile system due to it being hand applied by trowel and can be used on slopes, areas with limited access, intricate areas such as winding paths and is ideal for any size of area. A Huge Variety of Colours and Styles Are you looking for a warm, golden hue to highlight the traditional brickwork of your home?
Or are you set on a sharper, contemporary design for a modern property? Resin Bound surfacing can provide you with the surface you are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about resin-bound driveways, patios, pathways, SUDS compliance and maintenance.
What is resin-bound surfacing?
Resin-bound surfacing is created by mixing natural stone aggregates with resin before trowelling the mixture onto a prepared base. It creates a smooth, durable and decorative surface for driveways, patios, pathways, car parks and other light traffic areas.
Is resin-bound surfacing permeable?
Yes, resin-bound surfaces are permeable because small gaps between the aggregates allow water to drain through the surface. This makes resin-bound surfacing a practical and attractive option for driveways and outdoor spaces.
What does SUDS compliant mean?
SUDS stands for Sustainable Urban Drainage System. It helps surface water drain naturally into the ground, reducing standing water, surface runoff and the risk of flooding in built-up areas.
Is resin-bound surfacing SUDS compliant?
Resin-bound surfacing can be SUDS compliant when installed onto a suitable porous base, such as open-textured tarmac or a specially prepared permeable base. If laid over a non-permeable surface, suitable drainage or a soakaway may be required.
What base is needed for a resin-bound driveway?
A resin-bound driveway needs a stable, sound and well-prepared base. Suitable bases can include tarmac, asphalt or concrete, depending on the condition of the existing surface and the drainage requirements of the project.
Can resin-bound surfacing be laid over existing concrete or tarmac?
In many cases, resin-bound surfacing can be installed over existing concrete or tarmac, provided the surface is stable, clean, free from major cracks and suitable for the intended use. We will always assess and prepare the base before installation.
How do you maintain a resin-bound surface?
Resin-bound driveways, patios and paths are low maintenance. Regular sweeping with a stiff broom and occasional rinsing with clean water will help keep the surface looking its best. A pressure washer can also be used carefully to remove moss, algae or dirt build-up.
Are resin-bound surfaces weed resistant?
Yes, resin-bound surfaces are highly weed resistant when properly installed. However, windblown seeds may occasionally settle on the surface. Small weeds can usually be removed by hand or treated with a suitable domestic weed killer.
What can I park on a resin-bound driveway?
Resin-bound driveways are designed for normal pedestrian and domestic vehicle use. Heavy objects such as skips should not be dragged across the surface, and protection should be used during building work to prevent damage from oil, cement, grease or solvents.
