How a resin drive goes down

Built in layers, from the ground up

These four photos are one of our own jobs, from digging out to the finished resin surface.

The same garden with a stone sub-base and a curved block edging

2Sub-base and edging

A stone sub-base laid and the edging set in.

4Resin bound surface

The resin bound surface goes on last.

“The workmanship of the team was very good, ensuring the site was cleared, a proper sub base laid, prior to the final resin layer.”
