What is a Bonded Resin Driveway?

There are lots of different ways to get your drive way into top shape. It's like the final touches to the house, the last stroke of paint to a portrait. So when your browsing the different options, or observing your neighbour's drive way, you may have come across a nice looking drive way, where when you look closely, it's almost as if the driveway is laced together with tiny pebbles. Giving the driveway an almost beachy appearance when you take a closer look. For the most part, that's what a bonded resin driveway looks like. But why? Getting the results of a resin bonded driveway isn't actually as hard as one might think. Simply, it's where a coat of resin is pooled across the cement and a gravel is swept across. It sounds simple but comes out looking beautiful.

What do you need to do it?

Now you're ready to face this driveway dilemma head on. And what better way to get that sandy speckled look than the resin bonded method? It's a popular choice, due to how easy it is for the average person to conquer. Firstly, you need to make sure your base, (your current drive way that is most likely consisting of cement) is solid and not crumbly. A good sure surface.

Then you'll need your resin. What makes the resin bounded driveway an excellent alternative to more expensive methods, is that the resin is used much less than other methods would have you use. The resin is often times the most expensive part of the whole operation. After you spread out your resin, all you need to do is sweep your gravel of choice over the resin, until your previous driveway is completely covered by your gravel.

Why mess with the drive way at all?

Many people wonder why even bother with the driveway at all, if it's not falling apart then why do much else besides sweep it occasionally? Well when updating the drive way, getting methods like the resin bonded driveways is great, preventing any weeds or glades of grass protruding through any cracks. Which means no picking and prying for you.

The resin bound method is also a strong alternative and won't be easily damaged when in comparison to other methods, that are not only expensive but not very strong.

All in all, the resin bound method is a great alternative to people who like to save on good deals. Not only is it a frugal alternative, but the selection of gravels and colours are nearly endless. Perfect to match with whatever colour scheme you've got going on at your home! Resin bound driveways are quicker, cheaper, stronger and all in all easy to apply even if you have other people come in and put it in for you!
