- Suitable for regular car use and heavy vehicles
- Available in a wide range of colours and aggregate blends

2. Garden Paths and Walkways
Garden paths benefit greatly from the smooth, slip-resistant qualities of resin bound surfacing.
- Creates a continuous, safe route through the garden
- Gentle on feet and wheelchair or pram-friendly
- No loose gravel to scatter across the lawn

3. Patios and Outdoor Seating Areas
Resin bound patios provide a modern alternative to block paving or decking.
- UV-stable and fade-resistant in direct sunlight
- Comfortable underfoot, even in bare feet

4. Pool Surrounds
For homes with swimming pools or water features, resin bound offers an ideal finish.

- Excellent drainage prevents water pooling
- Resistant to chlorine and salt exposure

- Custom edge trims and contrasting aggregates can enhance visibility
