Drainage Considerations for Resin Bound Driveways

Bartonhuff0607 Aug, 2025Home & Garden

One of the standout features of Resin Bound Driveways is their permeability. The porous structure allows rainwater to pass through into the sub-base, preventing puddles and reducing runoff. However, correct drainage still matters. The base must be free-draining—ideally open-textured tarmac or permeable concrete. In areas with poor soil drainage, additional solutions like soakaways or French drains may be needed. Proper planning ensures that water doesn’t pool underneath, which could lead to frost damage or surface movement. When installed correctly, a resin bound system manages water naturally and sustainably.
