← Back to Is Resin Bound Gravel Suitable for Driveways?

Looking after your resin bound gravel driveway isn’t demanding, yet regular maintenance is key to keeping it durable and attractive year after year. With just a little routine care, you can preserve its performance and kerb appeal.
Routine Cleaning Made Simple
Keeping your resin bound surface clean helps to avoid the build-up of debris and organic matter. A gentle wash using a hose or pressure washer on a fan setting is usually all that’s needed. For stubborn stains or marks, use a mild detergent with warm water and a soft brush to gently agitate the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or metal tools as they may damage the resin.
Periodic Inspection and Quick Repairs
Set aside time every few months to visually check your driveway for any cracks, loose stones, or areas of wear. Addressing small flaws early prevents them worsening over time. If you notice isolated damage or worn patches, ready-to-use kits like the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit make it easy to refresh and repair resin bound areas without needing specialist installers.
When Maintenance Matters Most
- High traffic areas: Entry points and turning zones can wear faster, so pay extra attention to these spots.
- Seasonal changes: After winter or heavy storms, removal of organic material and de-icing salts avoids staining and helps keep the surface permeable.
- Preventing weed growth: Regular sweeping helps stop moss and weeds from establishing.
