WHY CHOOSE RESIN BOUND?
A Practical Finish with Natural Stone Character
Resin bound surfacing combines stone aggregate and resin, mixed together and trowelled onto a prepared base. The result is an even surface with the appearance of stone held firmly in place.
02
Stone That Stays Put
The aggregate is bound together, giving you a decorative finish without the routine raking and redistribution of loose gravel.
03
Permeable Surface
Water can pass through the resin bound layer. The base, sub-base and drainage must also be suitable for the complete driveway to drain correctly.
04
Easy Everyday Care
Regular sweeping and occasional cleaning help keep the finish looking its best. Low maintenance still means giving your driveway a little care.
START WITH THE RIGHT BASE
Is Your Driveway Suitable for Resin Bound?
A good-looking resin finish depends on what is underneath. Some existing tarmac or concrete driveways can be overlaid; others need repairs or a new base before work begins.
- A stable base suitable for daily vehicle use
- Cracks, weak areas and movement assessed first
- Finished levels checked at doors, gates and garages
- Drainage planned for the whole driveway
- Secure edging to contain the resin bound surface
- A stone blend and border that suit your property
Permeability depends on the full construction. Laying resin bound over impermeable concrete does not make the whole driveway permeable. We assess the base and drainage together.

Resin Bound Driveway Questions
What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded?
Resin bound surfacing mixes the stones and resin together before the mixture is trowelled into place. Resin bonded surfacing scatters loose aggregate onto a layer of resin. They have different finishes and drainage characteristics. The service described on this page is resin bound.
Can resin bound be laid over an existing tarmac or concrete driveway?
Sometimes. The existing surface must be stable, properly prepared and suitable for the expected vehicle use. Cracks, movement, drainage and finished levels all need checking. An unsuitable base needs repair or replacement before resin is laid; loose gravel and individual paving blocks are not suitable direct bases for a conventional resin bound system.
Is a resin bound driveway permeable?
The resin bound layer allows water to pass between the stones, but the driveway's overall drainage depends on the layers beneath it. A suitable permeable base and sub-base are needed for water to drain through the full construction. Where the base is impermeable, falls and drainage need to be designed accordingly.
How much does a resin bound driveway cost in Dublin?
The price depends on the area, existing base, excavation and preparation, drainage, access, edging and chosen finish. An overlay on a suitable base is a different job from a full rebuild. We provide a free quotation after assessing what your driveway needs.
When can I walk or park on my new resin driveway?
Curing time varies with the resin system and site conditions, including temperature. We will confirm when the finished surface can take foot traffic and when it is ready for vehicles. Keep vehicles off until the advised curing period has passed.
How do I maintain a resin bound driveway?
Sweep away leaves and debris and clean the surface periodically using the care guidance for the installed system. Deal with spills promptly and keep drainage outlets clear. Resin bound surfacing is low maintenance, but it still needs routine care.
