What Does Resin Bound Driveway Installation Include in Harpenden?
Most of the work involved in a long-lasting driveway happens underneath the finished asphalt. The exact process will depend on the condition of the area and the finish chosen.
Work usually starts with excavation to the required depth. A stable foundation layer is then laid and compacted before the Resin bound material is mixed on site and laid over a suitable existing or newly prepared surface.
Edging and Finishing
A defined edge such as metal or block paving keeps the resin bound layer contained, and drainage is considered as part of the design so water does not collect on the surface.
