How long will my driveway installation take?
Each project is different and the length of time required to complete the job will vary from project to project depending on the existing surface, the amount of groundwork preparation required, the area to be covered, the materials and method being used and the complexity of the project.

Can I drive on my new driveway as soon as you have finished work?
No, we will tape off the driveway or patio once complete and advise you on timescales for removing the tape and using your new drive or patio. Generally, this will be 24 – 48 hours, however, we will advise on each job individually.

What makes a resin bound system porous?
The process of blending the aggregate with the resin coats all of the stone – sticking it together. This process still allows for gaps between the stones, allowing water to filter through it.
What will happen to resin bound surfacing during times of extreme heat or freezing?
As the resin bound surfacing has cavitation within the mixture, water will run through the surface and back into the ground. This stops water from pooling on the surface, so causing a freezing problem. During times of extreme heat the resin bound surface will remain cooler than asphalt or concrete, due to the cavitation allowing air to circulate through it.
