Resin Bound Paths & Walkways Questions

Only if the existing surface is sound, level, and drains adequately. If the base has movement cracks or poor drainage, an overlay will not hold and groundworks will be needed first. The base is assessed before any price is given.

No surface eliminates weeds entirely. Proper base preparation and contained edge details reduce the problem significantly, but weeds can still establish from nearby soil. An annual power wash keeps the surface clear and drainage channels open.

A poorly drained base continues to move with frost and wet weather. Each cycle widens cracks and undermines the surrounding ground, meaning more excavation and a higher groundworks cost when the work is eventually done.

It can be a good option where drainage is the main issue. The permeable surface lets water pass through rather than pool. However, if the sub-base itself holds water, common with Essex clay soils, that drainage problem must be addressed first.

Colour and stone blend are selected at the design stage. For Brentwood properties with period brickwork or boundary walls, the aggregate can be matched to complement the existing frontage materials.

Resin bound aggregate is locked into a polyurethane binder and trowelled flat, stones cannot scatter underfoot. Loose gravel shifts with foot traffic, migrates onto lawns and roads, and offers no drainage structure beneath the surface.
