Hello

I am very interested in the resin bonded stone? but I have a few qestions. I would be grateful if you could help me out. I have a concrete drive and a tarmac pathway, and on looking on this website it would seem I can incorporate the two with resin and have a uniform surface on my property. My only other alternatives are to replace either the concrete or the tarmac or both! There is nothing wrong with it apart from looking old (concrete been down 15 year tarmac 10) and having puddling as I call it.

What will happen with the puddling will it get worse with resin, improve or no difference?

look forward to hearing from anyone who can guide me!

Get some qualified contractors round to advise and quote. There are lots of details to be considered, not least of which are drainage and the height of the existing paving relative to any buildings, etc.

Resin bound surfacing will 'smooth out' any shallow puddles by increasing the thickness of material laid. Resin bonded needs to have these puddles eliminated beforehand by applying a 'scratch coat' of (usually) cementitious material (a bit like floor-levelling compound).
