Resin Installation Process

The installation process takes about two days and involves digging down into the dirt with our backhoe bucket to create an excavation site. After we excavate your current asphalt driveway, one layer at a time, it will be necessary for us to pack soil around each new resin block before laying it down on top. When installing resin driveways we consider drainage of your area if prone to flooding. The first step after removing any existing brick or stone from the resin driveway installation area is to put down the appropriate gravel mix for resin driveways.

Resin driveways are typically less expensive than concrete, but they can’t be used in place of a parking lot or other large slab surfaces like business buildings and schools because resin blocks won’t hold up well against heavy traffic.

We use specialized equipment for resin driveway installation such as the backhoe bucket  which we use to dig down into your current asphalt surface before removing it one layer at a time and replacing it with resin bricks.

We always work with specially designed power hammers and diamond-tipped blades, because there’s nothing worse than a dull blade or sledgehammer going through your resin block.

We rinse the concrete surface with water. The we prepare the area for resin driveways by removing any loose materials such as dirt or leaves that might get mixed in during resin driveway installation; then sweep it clean to remove all dust and particles. 

The next step is to sand down rough patches on your concrete substrate using a sanding block. If you have a high quality sealer already installed, we do not reapply another one before installing resin drives so they can adhere properly without problems – but if we choose to apply an additional layer of sealant, we do this step last to help protect from future stains around doorways and in high traffic areas.

Then we apply resin driveway product to the base surface and spread it evenly using a squeegee or trowel. If applying resin driveways in fall, winter, spring or summer – we recommend waiting for frost to melt before installing resin driveways as this will create an uneven installation area that could lead to future bumps/chunks of resin coming up from below.
