Resin ECO Pave FAQs
Resin EcoPave is a durable and attractive surface created by mixing natural aggregates (small stones) with a high-performance, clear resin binder. This mixture is then hand-trowelled onto a suitable base to create a smooth, seamless, and hard-wearing surface for driveways, patios, and paths.
Resin EcoPave offers a superior, modern finish with several key advantages. It is highly durable, low-maintenance (no weeds!), and fully permeable to prevent puddles and flooding. It also provides a stunning, high-end look with a huge choice of colours and finishes.
With professional installation and minimal maintenance, your Resin EcoPave surface is designed to last for many years. We use UV-stable resins and high-quality aggregates to ensure it remains durable, strong, and looking great for over 15-20 years.
It's an incredibly versatile solution suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
Driveways
Patios and outdoor seating areas
Garden paths and walkways
Pool surrounds
Balconies and roof terraces
The installation time depends on the size of the area and the condition of the existing base. A typical domestic driveway often takes between 2 to 4 days to complete, which includes ground preparation and the final resin application.
A solid and stable base is crucial for a long-lasting finish. We can often lay Resin EcoPave directly over existing concrete or tarmac if it is in good condition. If not, we will install a new, fully permeable sub-base to ensure proper drainage and structural integrity.
No, the resin needs time to cure and harden properly. We recommend allowing approximately 24 hours for foot traffic and at least 48-72 hours for vehicles, depending on the weather conditions. We will give you specific guidance on completion.
Absolutely. It is specifically designed to be tough and resilient, capable of handling the weight of domestic vehicles, turning wheels, and daily use without cracking or shifting.
No. Because Resin EcoPave creates a solid, seamless surface, it is highly effective at preventing weed growth. This is one of its biggest low-maintenance benefits compared to block paving.
Maintenance is very simple. A regular sweep with a stiff brush and an occasional jet wash on a low to medium setting is usually all that's needed to keep your surface looking its best. For any spills like oil, it's best to clean them up quickly with a mild detergent.
The natural texture of the aggregate provides a good level of grip, making it less slippery than many other smooth surfaces. For areas that require extra grip, such as slopes or steps, we can include a crushed glass additive in the final coat to increase slip resistance.
We offer a vast range of natural aggregate colours, from contemporary greys and silvers to warm golds and classic reds. You can choose a single colour for a uniform look or mix different aggregates to create unique blends and bespoke decorative borders.
Yes! Our skilled installers can incorporate custom designs, house numbers, or contrasting borders into your surface. This allows for a truly personalised finish that can complement your home’s style.
We exclusively use high-quality, UV-stable resins. This is crucial as it ensures your surface will not yellow or fade when exposed to sunlight, keeping its beautiful colour for years to come.
The key eco-friendly benefit is its permeability. The porous surface allows rainwater to drain naturally through it and back into the ground. This helps reduce surface water run-off, eases pressure on public drainage systems, and helps prevent flooding.
Yes. When installed on a suitable permeable base, a Resin EcoPave system is fully compliant with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations. This means you often won't need separate planning permission for a new driveway.
While our surfaces are extremely tough, accidental damage can sometimes occur. One of the benefits of resin is that localised repairs can often be carried out by cutting out the damaged section and re-laying a new matching mix.
Yes, it is an excellent surface for sloped driveways and paths. Its textured finish provides better grip than many alternatives, and our team will ensure the installation is tailored to the specific gradient.
Resin-bound surfaces are largely resistant to oil and fuel. However, we advise cleaning any spills as soon as possible with a suitable degreaser and warm water to prevent any potential staining.
