Our top recommendation for surfacing driveways, paths, and garden steps is resin-bound.
This modern system blends decorative aggregates with a clear, UV-stable resin to produce a solid yet porous finish. Its four standout features include:
Eco-conscious materials
Excellent water drainage
Low maintenance needs
Flexible crack-resistant surface
Unlike traditional concrete or tarmac, resin-bound driveways are SUDS-compliant — meaning they allow rainwater to drain naturally into the ground. This makes them particularly suited to Scotland’s wet weather, helping prevent puddles and flooding.
Installation is performed cold on-site, where the aggregate and resin are thoroughly mixed and spread over a suitable base.
The result? A robust, seamless surface that enhances safety and aesthetics in equal measure.
❌ We DO NOT offer resin-bonded installations, as they lack the same durability and drainage benefits. Our focus is purely on resin-bound systems that deliver long-lasting results.
Benefits of a Resin-Bound Driveway in Edinburgh
Resin-bound surfacing has become increasingly popular across Edinburgh for good reason. This innovative material offers the ideal balance of form and function, including:
A wide range of colour options and stone sizes
Smooth, slip-resistant surface finish
No loose stones or cracks
Minimal upkeep – just the occasional sweep or pressure wash
Excellent durability with a professional installation
Whether you’re upgrading a single driveway or installing a complete outdoor pathway system, resin-bound solutions offer a clean and modern appearance with lasting performance.
Resin bound Is A Better Alternative to Resin-Bonded Surfaces
While some providers offer resin-bonded driveways, we’ve chosen not to include them in our services. Why? Resin-bonded systems are more prone to loosening over time and do not allow water to pass through, which can result in standing water and drainage issues.
Instead, we focus exclusively on resin-bound installations. This method involves fully coating each aggregate stone in resin before laying, ensuring a robust, weather-resistant finish that’s built to last.
