Resin Bound Gravel supplies and installs durable, low-maintenance resin-bound gravel surfaces for residential, commercial, and public spaces across the UK.

Each system combines decorative aggregates with a high-quality resin binder to create a smooth, seamless surface that is built for strength, drainage, and visual appeal.

As the surface is porous and joint-free, it supports natural water drainage while preventing weed growth, cracking, or loose gravel movement.

Where Can Resin Bound Gravel Be Installed?

Common uses include driveways, patios, garden paths, access ramps, courtyards, car parks, school grounds, and commercial forecourts.

Resin bound gravel can be installed on a wide range of outdoor surfaces in domestic, commercial, and public environments.

As the surface is slip-resistant and load-bearing, it suits both pedestrian and vehicle zones.

Since it bonds well to concrete, tarmac, or compacted stone bases, it can be used for both new builds and refurbishment projects.

How Much Does Resin Bound Gravel Cost?

Resin bound gravel costs between £60 and £120 per square metre.

Final pricing depends on surface area, base preparation, aggregate selection, edge detailing, and design complexity.

As higher-grade aggregates or decorative features increase material and labour time, they may raise the cost.

Since all quotes are tailored to individual sites, we provide detailed estimates following a free survey.

What Are the Benefits of Resin Bound Gravel?

Resin bound gravel provides a smooth, permeable surface that resists weed growth, prevents puddles, and reduces maintenance.

Key benefits include:

• Long-lasting durability – The resin-bound surface withstands foot and vehicle traffic without shifting, cracking, or surface erosion.
• Slip-resistant finish – The textured structure improves safety underfoot, even when wet or on sloped areas.
• Permeable system – Rainwater drains naturally through the surface, reducing puddles and supporting drainage compliance.
• No loose stones – The resin holds gravel in place, eliminating the mess and movement found with unbound aggregates.
• Low maintenance – Routine sweeping or occasional pressure washing keeps the surface clean and free of organic build-up.
• Custom design options – A wide selection of natural and coloured stones allows for full customisation of colour, tone, and pattern.
• Fast curing – Most installations are ready for foot traffic within 24 hours and vehicle access within 48.
• SuDS compliance – Meets Sustainable Urban Drainage System guidelines, helping manage surface water and reduce localised flooding.
• Weed and moss resistance – The seamless, sealed surface prevents plant growth, reducing the need for chemical weedkillers.
• UV and frost protection – Resists discolouration from sunlight and damage from freeze–thaw cycles.
• Noise reduction – Minimises sound from footfall and vehicle tyres compared to loose gravel or block paving.
• Safe for families and pets – Non-toxic, smooth underfoot, and suitable for areas where children and animals play.
• Enhanced kerb appeal – Provides a professional, high-end appearance that increases property value.
• Efficient repairs – Localised damage can be fixed using matching blends without relaying the full surface.

How Long Does Resin Bound Gravel Last?

Resin bound gravel lasts 15 to 25 years.

The resin forms a flexible bond with the stones, reducing cracking and surface failure over time.

As the system resists UV exposure, frost damage, and surface wear, it performs consistently in all weather.

Since maintenance is simple, the finish retains both function and appearance for decades.

Can Resin Bound Gravel Be Installed on a Slope?

Resin bound gravel performs well on sloped surfaces such as driveways, access ramps, and garden paths.

The bonded stones remain secure under pressure and do not shift or dislodge like loose gravel.

As the finish is textured, it also improves traction on inclines, reducing slip hazards.

Since the system is hand-laid, it conforms precisely to the shape of any slope.

Is Resin Bound Gravel Permeable?

Resin bound gravel is a fully permeable surface that allows water to pass through the structure into the sub-base.

The spaces between the bound stones permit natural drainage, helping prevent surface water accumulation.

As it supports SuDS compliance, it is often approved for use in planning-restricted areas or where non-permeable materials are not permitted.

Since the surface dries quickly and prevents pooling, it improves safety and drainage performance.

Does Resin Bound Gravel Require Edging?

All resin bound gravel installations require some form of fixed edging to contain the surface and maintain structural integrity.

Options include brick, timber, aluminium, or stone kerbs, which are selected based on design and drainage needs.

As the resin is trowelled to meet the edge, it forms a clean, stable boundary that prevents cracking or separation.

Since edging also defines the layout visually, it plays a key role in the overall design.

What Types of Gravel Are Available?

Resin Bound Gravel offers granite, quartz, marble, flint, and basalt.

Stone blends vary in size, from fine grain to coarse textures, depending on the desired appearance and slip rating.

As colours range from neutral greys and browns to bold reds, whites, and blacks, the surface can be tailored to suit any environment.

Since multiple aggregates can be combined in one project, the finish can include borders, patterns, or logo inlays.

Can Resin Bound Gravel Be Repaired?

Localised repairs can be carried out by cutting out the damaged area and relaying with a matching resin and aggregate blend.

As detailed colour and mix records are kept, repairs can be matched closely to the surrounding surface.

Since the finish is hand-applied, new sections blend into the original without obvious joins.

Is Resin Bound Gravel Safe for Children and Pets?

Resin bound gravel is safe for use in family gardens, schools, and pet-friendly spaces.

The sealed surface prevents sharp stones, uneven patches, or trip hazards.

As the resin is low-VOC and non-toxic when cured, it poses no chemical risks.

Since it’s easy to clean and drain, it’s suitable for outdoor play, feeding areas, or high-activity zones.

How Is Resin Bound Gravel Installed?

Installation includes surface preparation, priming, mixing of resin and gravel, hand-trowelling, and curing.

The base must be stable, level, and porous or appropriately prepared to support the resin system.

Since installation is low-disruption and dust-free, it’s suitable for both residential and commercial settings.

Can Resin Bound Gravel Be Used Around Trees or Planting Areas?

Resin bound gravel can be laid around trees, flower beds, and planting borders using flexible edge restraints.

As the surface remains permeable, it allows rainwater to reach surrounding soil and root systems.

Since roots may expand over time, we account for movement with expansion joints or edging to prevent surface displacement.

Because it integrates easily with soft landscaping, this system is commonly used in garden paths and public green spaces.

Does Resin Bound Gravel Require Resealing?

Resealing may be recommended every 5 to 7 years.

As part of ongoing maintenance, our team can inspect and advise on resealing needs during site visits.

Since the original colour and structure remain intact beneath the seal, re-coating is non-invasive and fast.

Can Resin Bound Gravel Be Used for Decorative Features?

Resin bound gravel can be used to create decorative zones such as circular patios, stepping areas, seating zones, and geometric patterns.

The hand-laid process allows precise detailing, making it suitable for bespoke shapes and multi-colour designs.

As multiple aggregate blends can be used in a single installation, it supports contrast edging and custom layouts.

Since this adds both function and visual appeal, it’s a common feature in landscaping and high-end property design.

How Does Resin Bound Gravel Handle Heavy Rain?

Resin bound gravel performs reliably in heavy rain because of its porous structure and SuDS-compliant base.

Water passes through the bound stone layer and into the prepared sub-base, reducing surface pooling and runoff.

As this drainage is built into the system, it helps prevent flooding and water-logging in landscaped areas.

Since the material remains stable when wet, it also maintains slip resistance during storms.

Is Resin Bound Gravel Suitable for Cold Climates?

Resin bound gravel is frost-resistant and performs well during freeze–thaw cycles.

The system allows water to drain through rather than freeze on the surface, helping prevent cracking or lift.

As the resin retains flexibility in low temperatures, it resists expansion-related damage.

Since it also prevents water accumulation, the surface remains safer in winter conditions.

Can Resin Bound Gravel Be Used in Public or Commercial Car Parks?

Resin bound gravel can be installed in light-use car parks and commercial forecourts with appropriate sub-base design.

As the surface can be reinforced for vehicles and trolleys, it suits small business premises, clinics, or hotel drop-offs.

Since it provides a smart, professional finish and supports accessibility, it improves both function and aesthetics.

Because each project is load-rated individually, we assess suitability during the design phase.

Are There Sustainable or Recycled Aggregate Options?

Sustainable and recycled aggregates include crushed glass and repurposed materials.

As the base resin is low-VOC and the stones are often UK-sourced, the system supports eco-conscious construction.

Since permeable paving reduces surface runoff and flooding, it also contributes to sustainable urban design targets.

Because of these benefits, resin bound gravel is frequently specified in green building and BREEAM-rated projects.
