GravelHold

Pour-On Gravel Binding Resin

A simple yet effective water-based solution for binding together loose gravel

Create Durable, UV-Stable & SuDs Compliant Surfaces

Made here in the UK, GravelHold is a bonding solution able to be used with both new and existing gravel up to 20mm in diameter to create solid surfaces.

GravelHold has been designed as a simple and strong bonding solution which can be installed at lower temperatures and with quick drying times. For DIY use to allow you to create beautifully landscaped gravel areas without tradesmen or specialist equipment.

Our binding system will cure clear and achieve its maximum strength after approximately 72 hours of drying in dry conditions above 5°C.

Our high-performance water-based binder has a specialised composition to achieve up to 3 years of protection and for the best results we recommend applying 2 to 3 coats.

Make sure you have the right sub-base for GravelHold

GravelHold covered gravel can be applied to any free-draining base, this includes soil or compacted type one sub-bases.

But bear in mind that how your finished surface will be used depends on what type of sub-base your area will require.

If your area will be purely decorative then it will not require any structural strength beneath it.

However, if the finished surface will be walked on, you need to ensure that areas sub-base is strong enough to support the weight of people without the risk of movement or collapsing.

GravelHold Application

Depending on how your gravel surface is to be used will dictate the application method we recommend you use. Sufficient coating is vital as without the right coverage you surface may not perform as expected.

There are two application techniques and how you plan on using the area will determine the best method for your area. Below you will find the most common gravel uses and the recommend techniques:

Decorative gravel in plant pots, containers, bordering fences or houses. These are classed as non-foot traffic areas and any technique can be used to apply GravelHold.

Gravel footpaths, around slabs and dustbin store areas. These are likely to receive occasional foot traffic the hand mix and trowel method will achieve the best results.

Pour On Method - Decorative Gravel

GravelHold can be poured from a watering can or by drilling holes into the lid, using around 1 litre per square metre.

Ensure stones are evenly coated for best performance. A sprinkler rose should be used for even distribution.

If desired, 3mm diameter holes may be drilled into the lid of the GravelHold container to create a sprinkler effect and used instead of a watering can.

Hand Mix Method - Occasional Foot Traffic

Shovel gravel in to a durable bucket or trug and add GravelHold slowly, mixing with a clean garden trowel or fork.

Once the gravel appears to be evenly coated, decant the gravel to the desired area, smoothing slightly with a plastering trowel for an even finish.

This process can be repeated, reusing any excess GravelHold left between mixes, adding more as needed.
