How iDream Solutions Repair Stone Resin Bound Driveways

Stone resin bound driveways are one of our most popular Devon driveway styles. The popularity of resin bound stone can be attributed to its wide range of beneficial properties, including:


  • Durability
  • Low maintenance
  • Longevity

However, as with all outdoor materials, resin bound surfacing can become damaged over time.


If your stone resin driveway has cracks, loose stones or holes forming in the surface, read on to find out how our expert team at iDream Solutions can repair your stone resin bound driveway. Please note, if you have a specific colour or design on your stone resin driveway, we recommend contacting our team of professional stone resin installers to fix your driveway to ensure continuity in colour and aggregate type throughout.

What Causes Stone Resin To Chip Or Crack?

Under normal circumstances, the fully cured resin should not easily break. If you’ve had your stone resin installed by a proficient installer, your stone resin driveway should last for many years. All of iDream Solutions’s stone resin driveways come with a 10-year guarantee. Just one of the many benefits of a resin bound driveway.


There are, however, several reasons why your stone resin driveway may crack after several years of use, including:


  • Your stone resin surface has been installed on an improper base.
  • If your stone resin surface hasn’t been installed correctly, then reentrant cracks or stress cracks can occur if pressure is placed at the wrong point.
  • Inefficient drainage, or water that does not drain properly can expand and contract with the temperatures, causing the resin around it to shift and move.
  • The base your resin bound driveway has been installed on has shifted, causing your resin to lose stability and move, resulting in unsightly and potentially dangerous cracks in the surface.


Getting your stone resin driveway installed by a highly experienced installation team is one of the easiest ways to ensure your stone resin driveway doesn’t chip, shift or crack.

Our team will:

1) Prepare the area, evaluate the severity of the resin bound driveway repair and remove the surface level layer of the damaged resin mixture.

2) We will then mix the resin and aggregate to match your existing driveway.

3) Slowly fill and repair the damaged stone resin bound driveways and compacting the mixture until it’s smooth.

Help To Prevent Resin Driveway Repairs?

Resin bound driveways are favoured for their low-maintenance qualities and aesthetic appearance. However, like most things that are kept outside, 24/7 and in constant use, occasionally small repairs may need to be made.


To help prevent the regularity of repairing your stone-resin driveway there are a few things you can do to help get the most out of your stone-resin driveway, including:


  • Get your resin driveway installed by verified installers.
  • Clean your driveway every six months or so and keep the driveway clear of leaves and dirt.
  • If your driveway is getting older, seal the surface to help prevent water, dirt and chemicals from affecting the aggregate and resin.
