Maintenance & Aftercare
How Long Does a Resin Driveway Last?
A well-built resin bound driveway is a fifteen to twenty year surface. What separates the ones that reach twenty from the ones that fail at five is almost never the resin.
Realistic lifespan
Fifteen to twenty years is the working figure for a driveway built on a correct sub-base with UV stable resin. Patios and paths, which carry no vehicle load, comfortably exceed that.
Why resin fails early
Almost always a base problem or a specification shortcut, not the surface itself.
- Insufficient sub-base depth or compaction
- Non-UV resin, which yellows
- Laying in the wrong conditions
- No edge restraint, so the perimeter breaks away
The maintenance
A brush occasionally, and a low-pressure wash once a year — under 150 bar, fan tip, held back from the surface. No sealing, no re-sanding, no weeding between joints because there are no joints.
Repairs
Because resin is mixed on site, a damaged area can be cut out and re-laid seamlessly. We keep a record of your blend so a repair in year twelve still matches.
