Resin Bonded Driveways
If you want to replace your driveway or patio and are interested in getting a resin-bound driveway, call Majestic Tree Care LTD. We have a range of affordable options along with multiple choices on colour and bordering styles.
Resin-bound solutions have rapidly become excellent for surfacing driveways, patios, and paths. They are made from a combination of natural stones that provide a durable and long-lasting surface which adds beauty to any application.
In addition to its anti-slip properties, it requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking clean and fresh. Resin driveway surfacing is created by mixing natural stones and coating them with a clear UV-resistant resin.
To ensure every stone is fully coated with resin, the mixture undergoes a force-action mix process before being poured onto the driveway or area you wish to cover. It is then hand-trowelled to create a smooth, seamless surface that doesn’t have loose stones.
Resin-bound surfaces require little maintenance and can be restored to a brand-new look with a simple jet wash. We only use industry-standard bonding materials and natural stone aggregate for your resin driveway, pathway, or patio.
Since natural products always have a bit of variety in stone colour, we can show you samples during the quotation stage to help you understand the finished look. It’s important to see samples so you can make an informed decision.
For other options for replacing your driveway, view our driveway paving services, gravel driveways, or tarmac driveway services.
Resin Bound and Resin Bonded
Resin bound uses a two-part resin mixed with the stone before laying, so every stone is encapsulated. It is porous and carries foot and vehicle traffic. Resin bonded uses a single-part resin with aggregate brushed on top. It is cheaper and less durable.
Ask for UV-stable (aliphatic) resin, which does not yellow. Non-UV (aromatic) resin is cheaper and turns gold in summer sun.
- A porous base, such as open textured concrete or permeable tarmac, lets water drain away
- Laid on a porous base, a new resin bound driveway complies with SUDS
- A standard driveway is laid 15-18mm deep, at least three times the largest stone
- Weeds do not establish on resin, and it needs very little cleaning
- Resealing roughly every five years keeps the UV protection
