Why are people switching to resin bound natural stone surfacing?

Resin bound driveways, patios, pool surrounds, and pathways are a safer, stylish and eco-friendly alternative to traditional outdoor surfacing methods. In addition to being fully porous and incredibly low maintenance, when professionally installed they create a clean and fresh look for commercial and residential spaces.

What is resin bound and how is it made?

Resin bound natural stone carpets are a versatile and aesthetically pleasing alternative to concrete, block paving, tarmac and decking. They are made by mixing resin and aggregates in a forced action mixer. The result is a mixture that can be trowelled onto surfaces to provide a smooth and flat finish. This makes it an ideal choice for commercial and residential spaces because of its slip and frost resistant properties.

Low-maintenance eco-friendly drainage systems

Resin Rock’s eco-friendly drainage system channels rainfall and moisture back into the ground and eliminates the risk of surface runoff. This permeability prevents water-logging and supports local ecosystems by replenishing groundwater.

Due to their composition and permeability, resin bound surfaces require minimal maintenance. They allow water to drain through, significantly reducing the growth of weeds, mould, and algae. Once installed, the possibilities for saving time and money are endless.

Resin bound natural stone carpets are ideal for entertainment parks, sports stadiums and arenas, fitness centres and business premises. They can also be used to elevate the visual aesthetics of shopping mall entrances and car parks, schools, swimming centres, car dealerships and residential properties.

Protecting Your Investment: UV Resistant Resin

Seamlessly connected with the FREE Moasure app (via Bluetooth), measurements instantly come to life as dynamic visuals. You can explore, edit, and save measurements in the app or export them seamlessly to your preferred CAD software at no additional cost.

Redefining Outdoor Spaces across the USA

Resin Rock’s two co-founders, Lucas Congdon and Tony Dyke, are on a mission to redefine outdoor spaces across the USA. Their innovative and durable surfacing system combines aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.

Because Resin Rock’s resin-bound natural stone surfacing system is 100% permeable, it is also slip-resistant, frost-resistant and weed and algae-resistant. Available in 24 colours, resin bound is perfect for driveways, footpaths, tree surrounds, and pool surrounds.

We need to do this!

Tony Dyke was a big fan of Lucas and his TV show Insane Pools Off The Deep End and had watched every episode. In 2022, he contacted the award-winning pool designer Lucas Congdon and asked if they could meet while he was on holiday in Florida. ‘Sure,’ replied Lucas, ‘That would be awesome.’

Tony wanted to talk with Lucas about the revolutionary surfacing products he had been using in the UK and how they could take Lucas’s insane pools to the next level. When Tony explained the benefits of resin bound stone surfacing, Lucas smiled and said, ‘We need to do this!’
