Resin bound gravel is probably the most beautiful paving system on the market today. It’s a relatively new but extremely popular paving system used by landscapers, developers and private homeowners to create beautiful driveways and footpaths. Natural in appearance, Eco friendly and slip resistant it’s unmatched by any other paving product.
The system involves mixing a two part polyurethane resin with washed and dried natural aggregate. The mixing takes place in a specially designed force action mixer, which is then tipped into a wheelbarrow and transported to the working area. It is then leveled and troweled off to form a smooth closed finish. The industry standard laying depth is 18mm for vehicular traffic although that can be reduced to 12mm for pedestrian use. Curing time depends on the time of year but can range from 2 to 12 hours.

Keep it in house

Another huge advantage we have over our competitors is that in most cases a new permeable asphalt will need to be laid before the resin bound surface can be installed. Usually AC 14mm binder course, obviously this is no issue for NPD but for other resin bound contractors they need to involve another surfacing firm. This means an increase in cost and you have less control over the end result.
