This project involved transforming an old, worn-out driveway into a modern and attractive resin bound driveway. The previous surface was uneven, cracked, and unappealing, which prompted the homeowner to seek a more durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. The aim was to provide a low-maintenance, long-lasting resin bound surface that would enhance the property’s appearance.
The Process:
Removal of Existing Driveway:
The initial step was to remove the old paving slabs and bricks from the driveway. This involved clearing the area of all existing materials and preparing the ground for the installation of the new resin-bound surface.
Ground Preparation:
After the removal of the old surface, the ground was prepared by ensuring proper levelling and the addition of a suitable sub-base. This provides the necessary support and stability for the resin bound system.
Edging Installation:
Prior to laying the resin, we installed durable brick edging along the perimeter of the driveway. This not only frames the resin surface but also adds a touch of elegance to the overall design, providing both form and function..
Application of Resin Bound Surface:
The resin bound mixture, composed of natural aggregate stones and a strong resin binder, was then applied across the entire driveway surface. The smooth finish ensures a slip-resistant and permeable surface, allowing water to drain through and preventing puddling.
Finishing Touches:
Once the resin was laid and smoothed, the driveway was left to cure, ensuring it reached its full strength and durability. The final result is a clean, seamless, and aesthetically pleasing surface that significantly enhances the front of the property.
Conclusion:
This Resin Bound Driveway in Southend on Sea has dramatically improved the appearance and functionality of the property. The homeowners now have a durable, low-maintenance driveway that complements their home and enhances curb appeal. With its permeable surface, this driveway is also environmentally friendly, helping to manage surface water runoff efficiently.
