How Resin Bound Surfaces Reduce Ongoing Costs

Most homeowners look for ways to reduce their ongoing costs. Running a home can be expensive. By the time you have decorated, replaced windows, fixed rotting timber and other tasks; you can easily be out of pocket. You will also have wasted a lot of time. The good news is that there are things you can do to reduce your costs, such as installing a resin drive surface rather than a block paved or concrete one.

In this article, we are going to look at how resin driveways can save you cash.

Weed Control

Weeds are the bane of many a homeowner’s life. Some would argue that a weed is a plant growing in the wrong place, but who wants a six-foot thistle growing anywhere? Nettles aren’t much fun either! The problem with most drives is that in time, weeds appear. Weeds are insidious. They spring up in cracks and crevices, between block paving and through poorly laid tarmac.

A resin bound driveway is impervious to weeds and acts best as Decorative Driveway. The nature of the resin drive surface means that weeds can’t grow in it or through it. This means your bottle of weed spray won’t be needed and you don’t have to spend Sundays digging out dandelions.

Less Maintenance

Non-resin drives need a lot of maintenance. Besides weeding, you will probably need to repair cracks and joins, re-bed block paving, sweep rubbish and fix drainage issues. After a few years, you will probably have to install a whole new drive. This can all be avoided by installing a resin bond driveway instead. Resin surfaces last for significantly longer, so you don’t need to worry about replacing your driveway.

Cleaning a Resin Drive Surface

Cleaning a drive is another odious task. It can take several hours to remove weeds and brush sand between block paving. When you think that time costs money, it makes sense to reduce your outgoings. Installing a resin drive will cost more initially, but in the long run, it will save you time and money in maintenance. To clean a resin drive, all you need to do is give it the occasional quick brush and a pressure wash from time to time.

When done properly, resin drives look great and can add value to your home, but only if they are installed by professionals. You can buy resin kits, but make sure you know what you are doing, or it will end in tears.
