Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your most commonly asked questions about resin bound driveways and our installation process.

What garden solutions do you offer?

We offer a range of garden solutions including Super Soft Artificial Grass, Timber Planters and Composite Planters. These can be installed individually or incorporated alongside decking, paving, fencing and other landscaping as part of a complete outdoor makeover.

What is resin bound surfacing?

Resin bound surfacing is created by mixing natural stone aggregates with a high-quality UV-stable resin before being hand-trowelled onto a prepared base. This creates a smooth, seamless and permeable surface that's both attractive and incredibly durable, making it ideal for driveways, patios, paths, steps and commercial areas.

What are the benefits of artificial grass?

Artificial grass provides a green, attractive lawn throughout the year without the regular mowing, watering and feeding associated with natural turf. It's a practical option for busy households and gardens where maintaining natural grass can be difficult.

Is resin bound better than block paving or gravel?

Resin bound offers a seamless finish with no loose stones, minimal maintenance and excellent durability. Unlike gravel, it won't spread or create ruts, and unlike block paving, there are no joints where weeds can easily grow.

Do I need a new sub-base for resin bound surfacing?

A strong foundation is essential for a long-lasting resin bound surface. In many cases, an existing sub-base can be used if it's in good condition and suitable for resin bound installation. However, if the existing base is damaged, unstable or unsuitable, we may recommend installing a new resin bound sub-base to ensure the best possible finish and long-term performance. During your FREE, no-obligation home survey, our experienced team will assess your existing surface and advise on whether it can be used or if a new sub-base is required.

Can resin bound be installed over my existing driveway or patio?

In some cases, yes. If the existing surface is structurally sound and suitable, resin bound can often be installed over it. During your FREE home survey, we'll assess your current surface and recommend the best solution for your project.

Will weeds grow through resin bound surfacing?

The seamless nature of resin bound significantly reduces weed growth. While airborne seeds may occasionally settle on the surface, regular sweeping and simple maintenance are usually all that's needed to keep it looking its best.

Can resin bound crack over time?

When installed onto a properly prepared sub-base by experienced professionals, resin bound surfacing is designed to provide a strong, long-lasting finish. Correct preparation and installation are essential for achieving the best results.

Is resin bound suitable for sloping driveways?

Yes! Resin bound can be installed on many sloping driveways and outdoor spaces. We'll assess the gradient during your home survey and recommend the most suitable installation method for your property.

Can I choose the colour of my resin bound surface?

Absolutely! We offer a wide range of natural aggregate blends to suit both modern and traditional properties, allowing you to create a finish that complements your home and surrounding landscape.

How do I maintain a resin bound surface?

Resin bound requires very little maintenance. Regular sweeping, removing leaves and occasional washing with clean water will help keep your surface clean and looking its best throughout the year.
