The Benefits Of Resin Bound Aggregate Surfaces.

How do we Install your Resin bound aggregate Driveway?

There are many pavement systems available on the market today.  Common hardscape surfaces include pavers (a.k.a. interlock), concrete and stamped concrete. However, Resin Bound Aggregate surfacing is unique. How? Well, no other surfacing system is considered a hardscape and softscape at the same time!

STEP 1

To install your Resin Bound Aggregate Driveway, (also ideal for walkways, patios and pools) we first remove your existing surface, which gets recycled. Yes! At Dream Pave we do not send any material to landfill. We then excavate the existing base to a depth determined by a few variables that the expert installers at Dream Pave assess.  

STEP 2

Creating a strong, permeable base is just as important as the surface. Dream Pave uses 3/4 angular stone, which has fines removed, known as clear stone. We also pack the base using our unique process to ensure its primed for installing the resin bound surface layer.

STEP 3

Mixing the Resin and Aggregate happens on-site, right in front of the work area. This drastically reduces the carbon footprint of our process, versus the carbon heavy process required for asphalt, concrete and pavers (aka interlock). Our process is up to 6X less carbon footprint than traditional pavements.

At Dream Pave, a special mixer is used to evenly and thoroughly mix the resin and aggregate, to ensure it is completely free from any clumps. A special ratio and mix duration is strictly adhered to. The finished mix is then brought to the point of installation, where the levelling and grading occurs, then a customized power-trowel is used to create the smooth, finished surface. Voila, that’s our process!

The key benefits of a resin bound aggregate system are:

  • Permeable to prevent storm water run-off,
  • Slip resistant,
  • Weed resistant,
  • more resistant to ice formation,
  • Longer lifespan,
  • Easy to clean and maintain,
  • Totally seamless,
  • Unique exposed aggregate curb appeal,
  • Smooth and hardwearing surface.

TOTAL FLEXIBILITY OF DESIGN

You can adapt your Resin Bound Aggregate system into any shape imaginable on your surface, providing a beautiful alternative to conventional pavements. The wide range of colours and blends means you can mix and enjoy unique naturally designed colour options.

By using smaller aggregate sizes of granite, you can combines colours, add strength and improve the visual appearance.

LONG LASTING RESULTS

The resin bound utilized by Dream Pave is called StoneSet; The pioneers of Resin Bound Aggregate, developed in Europe and installed from Siberia to Sydney, Australia.  The StoneSet resin is mixed onsite, with the aggregate and glues the new surface aggregate finish in place. 

At Dream Pave, our Resin Bound aggregate system is incredibly strong and durable and will remain so for many years. 

EASY TO MAINTAIN

The Resin Bound surface is relatively low maintenance and, is highly resistance to organic materials and weed growth. Yes no weeds!  Our Resin Bound Aggregate uses a proven resin that is also resistant to salt, gas or oil spills. 

SMOOTH, GORGEOUS SURFACE

Unlike resin bonded aggregates or loose gravel, a resin bound surface is smooth, flat and seamless. This is because of the way that resin and aggregates are mixed and then finished using a power-trowel. As a surface, it is ideally suited for both wheelchair, pedestrian and vehicular traffic applications as well.

EASY TO CLEAN

A resin bound system is easy to clean. Most dirt, marks or other cleaning jobs can be taken care of with a simple hose wash. A more stubborn stain, may only require some dish detergent. For more information on resin bound cleaning and maintenance, stay tuned for our resin bound maintenance guide.
