Resin bound gravel maintenance

Resin bound gravel surfaces are popular for driveways, paths, and patios because they are durable, visually appealing, and easy to maintain. To keep them in good shape, regular cleaning is important.

Start by sweeping the surface to remove dirt, debris, and leaves, which can block drainage and lead to stains. Use a pressure washer occasionally for deeper cleaning, but avoid high pressure that might damage the surface.

For stains or oil spills, use a gentle mix of mild detergent and water, scrubbing lightly with a brush. Tough stains may need special cleaners, but follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Weed growth should also be managed. Apply weedkiller two to four times a year, depending on humidity and rainfall. Regularly remove loose stones and debris with a leaf blower or broom.

Following these steps will help keep resin bound gravel surfaces looking good and functioning well for years.
