What to Expect from Installation in Leicestershire?
A proper resin bound driveway involves much more than simply laying a top surface. The exact process varies according to existing surfaces and access.
Existing driveway material and soft ground are typically removed before construction begins. A compacted stone sub-base is then installed before the The bound aggregate system is applied by hand over a prepared base and finished with a smooth trowel.
