Our old block paved driveway is starting to look very tired and uneven, with various weeds popping up between the blocks that are a nightmare to keep on top of. I've been seeing quite a few of these modern resin-bound driveways around lately, and they always look so smooth and neat. I'm wondering if anyone has gone through the process of having one installed or even tried a DIY kit themselves? What are your general thoughts on them? I'm particularly interested in their durability and how well they stand up to the weather over time.

Last year, we decided to tackle our front path with a Resin Driveway kit, and I was quite impressed with the results, though it was certainly a learning curve. Understanding what's involved is crucial: you essentially mix aggregate with a specialized resin and spread it over a prepared surface. We spent a lot of time on the base preparation, which is absolutely vital for a lasting finish. If the base isn't right, the resin top won't hold up as well. I found some great kits online that offered various colours and competitive pricing, which was a bonus. Having all the materials and tools ready before starting is key, as the resin sets quite quickly once mixed. It can be a demanding job, but the end result is a highly durable and visually appealing surface.
