Conventional solid surfaces are impermeable: water flows across the surface or forms pools, adding to flood risk. Resin bound gravel driveways avoid this problem. Water flows freely through the small stones and into the ground. But resin bound gravel driveways can be messy and difficult for pushchairs or wheelchair accessible persons.

7. How to Successfully Install Resin Bound Gravel Driveway? Preparing the Base First First make sure the concrete or tarmac base is strong enough for it desired use. Ensure that the area is dry and free from dust. Sweeping the area is essential before you start laying resin bound surface. Once mixed, the resin bound kits will start to cure in around 10-15mins so it is essential that the area is prepared before mixing. To help you apply the correct amount of resin bound gravel driveways to the area, it is recommended that you mark out a grid using chalk or marker paint. Ensure you have a drill and paddle that is powerful and has the capability of mixing mortar mixes. A small household drill will not suffice and may burn out during mixing.

8. Mixing the Resin Bound Gravel for Driveways Pour around 1/3 of you chosen stone aggregate from your kit into a normal bucket. Then in the remaining aggregate in the mixing tub create a shallow well (about the size of a pudding bowl). Pour you’re A and B resin into a separate bucket and mix thoroughly with a drill and paddle. Mix for a couple of minutes until the resin becomes uniform in color. Tip your combined resin into the well you created in the mixing tub, and add the stone you removed earlier back on top of the resin and stone. Mix the stone and resin together for a couple of minutes, ensuring that all the stone in the mixing tub is coated with resin and has a wet appearance.

9. Laying Your Resin Bound Surface Slowly pour your mix over the area to be covered making sure there is no dry stone in the mix. If there is a significant amount of dry stone, shovel it back into the mixing tub and mix again. If there is a small amount of dry stone you can mix it into the poured stone ensuring that it becomes coated and wet looking. Level out your resin bound mixture over the desired area using a squeegee or shovel. Then float out the materials using a plasterers float, this may take around 5 or 6 passes until you are happy with your finish. You only have 10-15 minutes before the resin starts to cure so speed is of the essence. Lightly spraying your float with water every 30-40seconds will aid you in the floating process. You can use a household cleaning spray bottle, but it must be thoroughly rinsed out several times so it is free from contamination. Repeat the above process until your project is finished.
