Maintaining Your Resin Bound Driveway or Patio

Keeping your resin-bound paving looking clean and well-maintained is easy with routine care and simple cleaning methods. Regular maintenance helps preserve the smooth, seamless finish and is especially important for lighter resin bound aggregate colours, which can show dirt, debris, and surface marks more quickly over time.

By sweeping away leaves and dust and occasionally using a gentle power wash, you can prevent grime from settling into the surface and protect the natural appearance of your resin bound driveway, patio, or pathway. Consistent upkeep not only keeps your paving looking fresh and attractive but also extends its lifespan, ensuring your resin bound surfacing remains durable, slip-resistant, and visually impressive for many years to come.

With minimal effort, resin-bound paving continues to deliver a low-maintenance, long-lasting outdoor solution that enhances your property’s kerb appeal all year round.

General Cleaning

Jet washing is highly effective — always hold the lance at a right angle and keep at least 300mm away from the surface to protect the aggregates.

Removing Oil & Heavy Dirt

Blot spills immediately to stop absorption. Use a mild emulsifying degreaser for stubborn stains and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the resin.

Controlling Weeds, Moss & Algae

While resin surfaces prevent growth from beneath, surface weeds may appear occasionally. These can be removed easily with a pressure washer or suitable surface treatment.

Leaf & Fruit Stains

Clear organic debris promptly. For marks, apply a diluted sodium hypochlorite solution with gentle brushing, then rinse thoroughly.

Rust & Tyre Marks

Use non-acidic rust removers for metal stains. Tyre scuffs can usually be lifted with hot water and mild detergent or steam cleaning.
