With resin-bound surfacing, it’s easy to move beyond standard finishes and craft a patio or path that truly reflects your personal taste and complements your garden design. Whether you favour bold textures or subtle blends, there are plenty of ways to achieve a custom look.
Blending Colours and Textures
Bespoke finishes are possible when you combine different aggregate types and shades. Kits such as the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit offer a range of stone colours and granule sizes. For added variety, mix together pebbles of contrasting tones, or integrate marble, granite, or porphyry chips for eye-catching effects. The degree of colour contrast and granule blend is up to you—enabling unique, multi-tonal surfaces or minimalist, single-colour designs.
Practical Tips for Custom Resin-Bound Surfaces
To create your desired finish, start by planning the colours and aggregate blends in advance. Purchase enough of each type to ensure consistency across the whole surface. Washed pebbles are supplied pre-cleaned and ready to use, making it easier to combine with other aggregates. When mixing, thoroughly blend your chosen stones before adding resin for a seamless result. Always follow kit instructions carefully to maintain water permeability and surface strength.
When Custom Appearance Matters
A custom resin-bound surface is ideal when you want to tie your patio or path in with garden features, home colour palettes or specific landscape themes. It’s also a great option if you want your outdoor space to stand out or coordinate with existing stonework and borders.
