bonded aggregate surfacing Contractor Questions
What is a bonded surface?
Resin-bonded surfacing, also known as the scatter method or bonded aggregate surfacing, involves putting and distributing a resin mix over the base layer and then spreading the aggregates on top of the resin. Left to bond with the resin, the dispersed particles provide a surface with a rougher texture and more excellent water resistance.
How long does bonded gravel last?
Resin driveways can last up to 10-20 years, with some lasting 25 years if maintained. Resin driveways also require minimal maintenance.
Do resin driveways add value?
Resin driveways add additional curb appeal making your already picturesque property more pretty. Adding 5%-10% of property value, a beautifully done driveway can increase the resale value.
Is resin driveway cheaper than tarmac?
The price of tarmac and resin are roughly the same.
Resin-bound, on the other hand, can easily be laid directly onto solid surfaces, saving money on groundworks that are typically required when laying tarmac.

How to Install bonded aggregate surfacing Driveways
If you lack the necessary resources and expertise, installing a resin-bound driveway on your own isn’t ideal. It is more convenient to employ an expert to carry out the task. But if you have the necessary money and knowledge to install one, then here is a step-by-step procedure for laying a resin driveway.
- You are preparing the area. Firstly, check that the concrete or tarmac foundation is enough for the planned load. Before laying your resin-bound surface, you should ensure the area is dry and clear of dust by giving it a good sweep.
- You are mixing Your Materials. The next step is to mix your materials. The exact amount, procedure, and equipment used in mixing your materials will differ based on the materials you will use and what type of resin driveway you will install.
- You are laying your resin. The last step is to distribute your mix into the work surface evenly. Use a squeegee or shovel to level out your resin mixture, then float the materials using a plasterer’s float.
Repeat the processes above until the desired result is met.
Common Types of Resin Driveways in Cardiff
Resin Bonded Driveways
In a resin Bonded system, a thin layer of resin is spread across the surface, and then clean, dry aggregate is spread over the resin to cover it completely. It mimics the look and feel of loose gravel but without the mobility issues that come with actual stone. It’s favoured in cases when the sleek appearance of Resin Bound would be out of place, such as in older or more classic buildings.
Resin Bound Driveways
Natural aggregate, marble, recyclable materials, and transparent resin are thoroughly mixed in the Resin Bound system. Each piece of stone is completely coated in the resin during this procedure, and then it is subsequently set into a substrate for a smooth, porous finish. Stone mix surfaces create a superb, attractive finish for roadways, walks, and ornamental gardens without needing additional drainage solutions because they are smoother and permeable.
