Resin bound driveways utilise a blend of aggregate stones and a clear resin, mixed together and hand-trowelled onto a solid base.
This creates a smooth, permeable surface that’s both aesthetically pleasing and highly practical. The key to its strength lies in the way the aggregate is fully coated in resin, ensuring a robust and long-lasting finish. In the often damp and variable climate of Devon and Cornwall, this permeability is particularly beneficial, as it allows rainwater to drain freely, reducing the risk of puddling and ice formation. This makes resin bound an excellent choice for the varied terrains and coastal exposures common across the region, where durable and weather-resistant surfaces are essential.

Resin bound surfacing is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications beyond just driveways.
It’s equally effective for pathways, creating seamless and accessible routes around your property. Additionally, its adaptability makes it ideal for patios, offering a stylish and low-maintenance outdoor living space. Furthermore, resin bound surfaces are used for larger areas such as car parks, and even for public spaces where a durable, accessible and visually appealing surface is required. The smooth, even surface is particularly beneficial for those with mobility issues, providing a safe and comfortable walking or driving experience. The porous nature of the surface ensures that water drains away, preventing the build-up of standing water which could lead to slipping.
Choosing a resin bound driveway or pathway offers numerous advantages over traditional surfacing options like concrete or block paving.
Firstly, its permeability helps to prevent flooding and surface water issues, which is a significant benefit in areas prone to heavy rainfall. Secondly, resin bound surfaces are highly durable and require minimal maintenance, saving you time and money in the long run. Unlike block paving, there are no loose stones to contend with, and the smooth surface is easy to clean. The wide range of aggregate colours and textures available allows for complete customisation, enabling you to create a unique and personalised look that complements your property. Additionally, the seamless finish eliminates the risk of weeds growing through gaps, a common problem with other surfaces. Finally, resin bound is a more environmentally friendly option, as it allows rainwater to naturally filter back into the ground.
