The benefits of Resin Bound driveways
Durability
Crafted from high-quality aggregates and UV-resistant resin, resin bound driveways are exceptionally durable and can withstand heavy traffic and varying weather conditions.
Aesthetic Appeal
With a seamless, smooth finish and a wide range of colour options, resin bound driveways enhance the visual appeal of any property, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
Low Maintenance
Unlike traditional driveways, resin bound surfaces are resistant to weeds and require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning is all that's needed to keep your driveway looking pristine.
Permeability
Resin bound driveways are porous, allowing water to drain through the surface, reducing puddles and preventing flooding. This eco-friendly feature promotes sustainable drainage and helps protect the environment.
Safety
The smooth, non-slip surface of resin bound driveways provides a safe and accessible environment for pedestrians and vehicles alike, reducing the risk of slips and falls.

Resin Bound vs. Resin Bond: Understanding the Difference
When considering resin surfacing options for your driveway, it's essential to understand the distinction between resin bound and resin bond systems. Both offer unique advantages, but they differ in their application methods and characteristics. Here's a breakdown of the differences
:
-
Resin Bound:
-
In a resin bound system, aggregates are mixed thoroughly with resin before being laid onto a prepared surface.
-
The mixture is then trowelled onto the surface to create a smooth, seamless finish.
-
Resin bound surfaces are permeable, allowing water to drain through, which helps prevent surface water pooling and flooding.
-
They offer a durable, low-maintenance surface that is resistant to weeds and frost.
-
-
Resin Bond:
-
In contrast, resin bond systems involve applying a layer of resin to the prepared surface, followed by scattering loose aggregates over the resin.
-
The aggregates are then pressed into the resin, creating a textured surface with visible stones.
-
Resin bond surfaces are non-permeable, meaning they do not allow water to drain through. This can lead to surface water runoff and potential drainage issues.
-
While resin bond driveways are generally less expensive and quicker to install, they may require more maintenance over time, as loose stones can become displaced.
-
At Pick a Block Paving, we offer both resin bound and resin bond driveway solutions, each with its unique benefits. Depending on your preferences, budget, and specific requirements, we can help you choose the right system for your property in Kent and surrounding areas. With our expertise and commitment to quality, you can trust us to deliver a resin surfacing solution that exceeds your expectations.
Maintenance Tips for Long-lasting Results
Maintaining your resin bound driveway is essential to ensure its longevity and keep it looking its best for years to come. Here are some simple yet effective maintenance tips to preserve the beauty and functionality of your driveway:
-
Regular Cleaning: Remove debris, leaves, and dirt from the surface of your driveway regularly using a stiff brush or leaf blower. This prevents buildup and maintains the appearance of the resin bound surface.
-
Avoid Heavy Vehicles: While resin bound driveways are durable, avoid parking heavy vehicles, such as trucks or caravans, in the same spot for extended periods. This helps prevent indentations and ensures the longevity of your driveway.
-
Prevent Oil and Chemical Spills: Promptly clean up any oil or chemical spills on the driveway surface to prevent staining and damage. Use a mild detergent or specialist cleaner and rinse thoroughly with water.
-
Weed Control: Keep weeds at bay by applying a weed inhibitor or weed killer to the surface of your driveway as needed. Regular maintenance helps prevent weed growth and keeps your driveway looking pristine.
-
Avoid Sharp Objects: Take care when using sharp objects, such as shovels or metal tools, on the driveway surface to avoid scratching or damaging the resin bound finish.
-
Annual Inspection: Schedule an annual inspection of your driveway to identify any signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. Addressing issues promptly can prevent further damage and prolong the life of your driveway.
-
Resealing: Consider resealing your resin bound driveway every few years to maintain its protective coating and enhance its appearance. This helps protect against UV damage and ensures long-lasting results.
By following these maintenance tips and investing in regular care for your resin bound driveway, you can enjoy a beautiful and functional surface that enhances the curb appeal of your property in Kent and surrounding areas for years to come. Trust Pick a Block Paving for all your driveway maintenance needs and enjoy peace of mind knowing your investment is well-protected.
