PermaBound Resin Bound Gravel Pathway & Patio - Springtime

About The Project

In this case study, we delve into the exciting journey through a recent project involving the installation of an 85m² Springtime resin bound gravel pathway and a 16m² patio. This project exemplifies the art of transforming outdoor spaces using top-quality materials and a skilled workforce with years of experience in resin bound gravel installations.

The choice of the stunning Springtime blend and AH Paving's dedicated three-man installation team set the stage for a remarkable transformation. Springtime, with its vibrant and natural appearance, breathes new life into outdoor spaces. The customer's decision to opt for Springtime was driven by its beautiful mix of golden, brown, white, and red aggregates, creating a traditional colour blend perfectly suited for their countryside setting.

Resin Bound Gravel Installation Process

The installation was expertly carried out by the three-man AH Paving team, showcasing their excellent teamwork and precise workmanship, honed through years of experience.

The first team member meticulously managed the material mixing process. He created a textbook set up of their mixes with each stack featuring; a PermaBound resin binder, four bags of gravel from large to small and a bag of KLCP sand. Afterwards, he added the gravel, resin, and sand to their SoRoTo forced action mixer, ensuring each batch was mixed for the exact same duration before decanting the mixed material into a wheelbarrow for transport to the installation area.

The second team member took on the role of evenly spreading the mixed material using a tool known as a spazzle. This step is crucial to ensure an even distribution of material across the surface at the correct depth, resulting in a well-compacted resin bound surface. The unique design of the spazzle streamlines this phase of the installation, making it both efficient and accurate.

The third team member then took over, displaying their craftsmanship by hand-troweling the surface with The Resin Bull 500LT+ trowel. This step is vital for achieving a compact, level, and smooth finish. The expertise of the installers was evident in every stroke, culminating in a seamless and elegant finish.

This process was repeated until both the path and patio were completed. The team's attention to detail ensured the creation of a stunning, uniform surface that is guaranteed to stand the test of time.
