View Full Version : Anyone used resin gravel binders for paths?

I'm tossing up whether to put in a hard surface like concrete or asphalt for a 15 metre path on a 15 degree slope from my back door to my shed or 20mm+ gravel with a resin binder, like this: Aftek Stone Lock Binder 4L | Mitre 10 (https://www.mitre10.com.au/aftek-stone-lock-binder-4l?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=paid_social&utm_campaign=IMP%20-%20Mitre%2010%20-%20Dec%20%2720%20-%20BOFU&utm_content=All%20Products%20-%2014%20Days-Copy%20%231%20-%20Afterpay&fbclid=IwAR2k4T7N1KFqC0ucCrfmeMClrXckFWhJVHWL9-ECQ7Ajb-Xy_mSPV2MXMb8) My concern is durability. Concrete and asphalt will outlast me, but resin looks like it mightn't be good for much more than 5 years (which could also outlast me). I also need the path to be solid as a ride on mower will be going back and forth across it over the years, and I don't want to pick up a loose stone and break a shed window. Breaking a house window? Not so bad. :U

Anyone with long term experience of resin bound gravel? Or any other opinions?

I recently had my driveway resurfaced with resin-bound aggregate (Driveway | Flickr (https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAwXhP)) [I used a company called Stoneset].
I'd seen driveways in our neighbourhood done and they looked really smart and they were > 10 years old so I reckon the longevity is OK.
My driveway has a 12 degree pitch and it's a good non-slip surface.

Thanks for that.

If it holds up on a sloped driveway it should last even better on my path.
