The big question with resin driveway installation is whether you go with resin-bond or resin-bound. While they may look almost identical in terms of name, they hold different properties, aesthetics and are applied differently.
Resin-bond driveways are non-porous surfaces that use a scatter system to give you the appearance and texture you’d expect from loose gravel. When installed, your landscaping contractor will first apply a fresh layer of resin on the surface, which is then covered with loose aggregate. Once this has cured, the remaining loose stones will then be removed, and you’ll be left with a textured natural stone surface.
Resin-bound driveways are porous surfaces composed of a resin-mixed aggregate created in specific blends with precise ratios. This hybrid material is laid down and trowelled to make for a smooth finish with no loose stones.
Both these forms of resin driveway solutions have their differences. However, they do share the following benefits for your property:
