Frequently Asked Questions

Resin-bound surfaces are quite resilient, especially compared to concrete, self-binding gravel or traditional asphalt. When resin driveways are professionally installed and maintained by experienced landscapers, they have a life span of up to 25 years or more.

Resin driveways are more durable than tarmac and will generally last longer. Resin is also more environmentally friendly than tarmac and contains fewer volatile materials.

The Resin Bound aggregate system is incredibly strong and durable and will remain for so many years. This is thanks to its low maintenance, easy cleaning, and high resistance to organic materials and weeds.

 Concrete is renowned for its strength, durability and impressive load-bearing capacity which makes it ideal for traffic-heavy applications. Resin bound is also extremely hard-wearing and durable, as the decorative resin/aggregate mix is laid over a sturdy sub-base such as tarmac or concrete. 

 You will not need planning permission for a new or replacement drive, patio or path of any size that uses a porous surface combined with a porous sub-base, which allows water to drain through such as a resin bound surface.
