Resin Bound Driveway Installation Cambridge & Hertford

Why Choose a Resin Bound Driveway?

Resin driveways are one of the most cost effective and aesthetically pleasing driveway types available today. Unlike traditional gravel driveways or block paved driveways, resin bound gravel creates a smooth, seamless surface that is resistant to weeds, cracking and colour fading. This makes it a practical choice for both driveway and patio areas.

Made using high-quality dried aggregates and a durable resin binder, our systems are designed to last for decades with minimal upkeep. Compared to a standard concrete driveway, resin bound surfacing is more attractive, more environmentally friendly, and far easier to maintain. Whether you want a new driveway patio for your home or a resurfacing solution for commercial spaces, resin bound gravel offers a modern upgrade with timeless appeal.

With 40+ colour blends, we guarantee the perfect look to compliment your home

Enjoy peace of mind with a surface built to last, backed by trusted Vuba technology.

Sub-Base Guidance for Resin Bound Installations

The strength and longevity of your resin driveway depends on the integrity of the sub-base. Careful attention to preparation is essential for a successful driveway installation.

Geotextile Membrane:
A non-woven geotextile membrane is installed under the sub-base. This not only acts as a permeable separation barrier layer, which contains the substrate and stops it migrating and contaminating the sub-base above, but also provides structural support, spreading weight from above in a uniform fashion.

Suitable Granulometry:
Because a resin bound gravel system is permeable, all rainwater drains into the sub-base. If fines are present, water movement can cause ground heave or washout. For a standard 150mm sub-base, we recommend 125mm of clean 25–50mm stone, followed by a 25mm capping layer of 5–10mm clean stone for strength and permeability.

Suitable Depth:
The standard sub-base depth is 150mm. However, this may vary depending on soil conditions and site-specific factors. Refer to the VUBA Sub-Soils Datasheet for further technical guidance.

A "no-fines" sub-base is therefore important. For a standard 150mm sub-base, we recommend 125mm of a 25-50mm clean stone, and then a 25mm
capping layer of a 5-10mm stone.

Suitable Compaction:
Where possible, use heavy compaction equipment such as vibratory rollers. If using compactor plates, compact in layers to ensure complete stability and prevent ground settlement.

Aftercare

Immediate Aftercare for Resin Bound Driveways

Curing time
Do not walk on your new Resin Bound surface for 24-48 hours, and do not drive on resin for 48-72 hours after installation. These times are temperature dependent and we would recommend you always follow the installer’s advice for exact timings.

No leaks/drips
Ensure there are no leaks/drips on the curing resin because excess moisture will significantly weaken and discolour Resin Bound surfaces during the curing period. Continuous drips/leaks cause erosion in the long term, and will degrade the surface.

Footprints
Ensure pesky people or animals cannot walk on the Resin Bound surface. Footprints cannot be removed! Devices can be used to deter animals, and we would recommend to place tape/barriers around the perimeter.

5 Most Important Points to Remember

Static wheel/small turning circles
Pressure exerted from static turning can dislodge surface aggregates. Once the matrix has broken, the surface will weaken and break away. It is very important that vehicle wheels are not turned when static or slow moving, and small turning circles should be eliminated in the driveway design.

Impact damage/high point loads
Take care not to drop heavy equipment on to the driveway, such as the placement of skips. Also be aware - skips can often leach rust on to your driveway which you may not be able to clean. Car jacks can depress the surface of Resin Bound and should be placed on a wooden board for load distribution.

Chemicals and staining
Petrol, solvents, etc. should not come into contact with resin surfacing ideally. In the event of spillages, dilute and clean immediately. Solvents and some chemicals will degrade the resin binder, resulting in stone loosening over a period of time.

Leaching/Discolouration
Like all paving surfaces, Resin Bound will discolour if covered long term permanently with a close contact object. Discolouration occurs from leaching and lack of exposure to air/sunlight. An example would be a flat bottom plant pot or a storage box. Use raised plant pots, and do not store items like storage boxes on the surface.

Rejuvenating your surface
A great way to extend the life of your driveway is by sealing the surface after a deep clean. This can be done using a diluted polyurethane UV resin sealer – contact your installer for more information. A good time to carry out this enhancement would be 2-4 years after installation of the resin surface.
