Sealing is applying a protective coating to your driveway after cleaning once the surface is fully dry. It can be applied to block paving and natural stone patio slabs. Sealing puts a protective layer on the surface which is oil and water-resistant which deters staining. It also helps to harden the sand between the joints which will help deter weed growth.

Yes, gravel driveways are relatively easy to repair. Common issues like potholes or uneven surfaces can be addressed by adding additional gravel and compacting it as needed. For more extensive damage, professional repairs may be required.

Resin bound paving involves mixing aggregate with resin and applying it evenly to create a smooth, porous surface. In contrast, resin bonded paving involves spreading a layer of resin onto a surface and then scattering loose aggregate on top, resulting in a textured finish. This gives a non-porous surface, which has a coarser finish and leaves a certain amount of loose stone on the final surface. Resin bound paving is generally more durable and requires less maintenance than resin bonded paving.
