In this case study we explore a resin bound gravel driveway created by GR Groundworks<\/a> who were tasked with replacing their customer’s old and deteriorating driveway with a stunning PERMABOUND<\/a> surface. The heart of home transformations lie with the driveway, adding curb appeal to your property! Read on to discover the full process of creating a beautiful PERMABOUND driveway.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After being shown the bespoke PERMABOUND sample case<\/a> and having the ability to see the blends up close in person, the customer was certain of their selection of Rivieria<\/a> as the central blend and Steel Blue<\/a> for the border and pathways alongside the house.\u00a0These were carefully selected to complement and elevate the property’s aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>

The team at GR Groundworks began the project by digging up and removing the existing worn-out driveway which had begun showing obvious signs of deterioration.<\/p>

With the old surface removed, a strong hardcore foundation was created before block paving edges were laid to create a large step at the front door. Onto the hardcore, a concrete sub-base was then meticulously laid, providing a strong surface onto which the PERMABOUND surface could be installed. To allow two blends of resin bound gravel to be installed side-by-side, dural aluminium edging trims<\/a> were secured to the concrete surface to create a separation between the two colours.<\/p>

With the preparation work completed to a very high standard, the PERMABOUND surface could now begin to be installed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The team set their project up perfectly with each separate mix stacked up, four bags of specialist stone, our high-quality PERMABOUND resin binder and a bag of sand.<\/p>

The first member of the GR team skillfully handled all of the projects mixing with the use of their SoRoTo forced action mixer<\/a>. For each mix, he added the same amount of BoundFast Catalyst<\/a> to the resin binder, the catalyst is used for reducing resin curing times in colder weather. He added the gravel, catalysed resin binder and KLCP sand<\/a> to the SoRoTo mixer, mixing each batch for exactly the same amount of time.<\/p>

The mixed PERMABOUND material was then carefully decanted into a wheelbarrow by the second team member, transported to the next designated installation area and roughly spread out.<\/p>

The third team member then took charge, employing hand-troweling techniques using The Resin Bull’s 500LT double-handled trowel<\/a> to craft this PERMABOUND driveway. The installation commenced with the Steel Blue border and paths being laid before the main Glacier driveway area was troweled.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
