Do I Need to Buy Pebbles Separately with Resin Gravel Binders?

← Back to What should I buy for resin bound gravel?

When starting a resin bound gravel project, it’s important to know if you need to source pebbles separately or if they’re provided with the resin binder. Here’s how to make sure you have everything needed for a successful installation.

What’s Included in Resin Bound Kits?

If you opt for a complete resin bound floor kit like Flowstone, both pebbles and the appropriate resin (binder) are supplied together. This approach ensures balanced quantities without requiring separate aggregate orders, making planning straightforward for driveways, paths, and patios.

When Pebbles Must Be Ordered Separately

If you prefer to purchase individual resin binders—such as Polirock for white gravel or Trasparente for coloured aggregates—you’ll need to arrange your chosen pebbles or aggregates separately. This gives you more flexibility with size, colour, and local sourcing, but it’s crucial to ensure you select clean, appropriately graded gravel designed for resin bound systems.

Practical Tips for Ordering

• Check kit contents: If buying a complete kit, confirm both resin and pebbles are included.
• Binder-only purchases: Plan your aggregate order based on the resin-to-stone ratio recommended by your supplier.
• Choose the right binder: Use polyurethane binders for white stones and epoxy for coloured or mixed aggregates to maintain surface appearance.

When This Matters

Knowing whether pebbles are included is most important if you’re working to a deadline or budget, as forgetting to order aggregates separately can delay your project and lead to uneven finishes. Always review product descriptions to avoid missing key components.
