    Default 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 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.

    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) [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.
