Frequently Asked Questions

What is Resin Bound Gravel and Why Should I Choose It?

Most asked question: What exactly is resin bound gravel, and is it better than traditional driveways or patios?

Answer: Resin bound gravel combines natural stones with environmentally friendly resin to create a seamless yet permeable surface. Unlike solid concrete or asphalt that puddles water and cracks over time, resin bound gravel lets water drain naturally, reducing flood risk and complying with sustainable drainage regulations. It’s strong, slip-resistant, and wheelchair accessible, making it ideal for UAE’s hot climate and busy outdoor areas.

Warning signs: Messy, loose gravel surfaces or poor drainage? Likely a result of bad base prep or using incorrect stone grades.

Next step: Schedule a free base inspection with Applicator Technical Services to ensure your groundwork is solid before installation.


What Are The Most Common Mistakes With Resin Bound Gravel?

Real search: What should I avoid if I want my resin bound gravel to last?

Answer:

  • Laying resin over unstable or cracked bases causes sinking or reflective cracking.
  • Applying in wet or extreme temperatures harms resin curing and causes whitening or brittle surfaces.
  • Using too little resin or inconsistent mixing weakens the bond, leaving loose stones behind.
  • Neglecting drainage or expansion joints causes water pooling and cracking.
  • Rushing troweling and curing for a smooth finish leads to uneven surfaces and dull looks.

Red flags: Soft spots, whitening, loose stones, or puddles soon after installation signal poor workmanship.

Next step: Trust Applicator Technical Services’ experienced team for strict quality control from prep to curing, and enjoy a guaranteed long-lasting finish.

How Do I Maintain a Resin Bound Gravel Surface?

Common concern: Will it stay beautiful and safe with low upkeep?

Proven answer: Resin bound gravel needs minimal maintenance—just occasional sweeping or power washing to remove debris.
