Solid Stone service guide

Preparation, levels and finishing planned together.

How we approach it
Four clear stages from survey to handover.
The sequence may change to suit your property, but these are the decisions that protect the finish and keep the work organised.
- 01
We first check whether the existing base is stable, suitable and correctly drained.
- 02
Any required base repairs, new construction, edges and level changes are completed before surfacing.
- 03
The aggregate colour and edging detail are agreed to complement the house and surrounding paving.
- 04
The resin and aggregate are accurately mixed, laid evenly and protected while the new surface cures.
Questions customers ask
Useful answers before your free site visit.
Can resin be laid over an existing driveway?
Sometimes, but only when the existing base is sound, stable and suitable. We inspect it first and explain whether preparation or a replacement base is needed.
Is a resin-bound driveway permeable?
The resin-bound surface itself can be permeable, but the complete installation depends on the base below it. Drainage and planning requirements are considered for each property.
What colours are available?
Resin-bound aggregate is available in a range of natural stone blends. We can compare suitable samples against your brickwork, borders and surrounding surfaces.
