Resin Bound Overlay Driveway in Hythe, Kent – by Varney Surfaces
Varney Surfaces recently transformed an old concrete driveway in Hythe, Kent with a stunning resin bound overlay, giving the property a completely new look without the need for full excavation.
The existing concrete was structurally sound but tired and discoloured. Instead of replacing it, we used a professional resin overlay system, which is a fast, clean and eco-friendly way to rejuvenate a driveway while keeping the original base intact.
Surface Cleaning and Preparation
We started by thoroughly cleaning the existing concrete surface to remove moss, grime and loose material. After cleaning, we mechanically prepared the surface to ensure maximum adhesion between the old concrete and the new resin layer. This step is vital for long-term strength and durability.
Granite Sett Border Installation
To give the driveway a refined edge, our team installed a granite sett border around the perimeter. The crisp contrast between the smooth resin and the textured granite adds a touch of class and helps define the shape of the driveway beautifully.
Natural Pea Shingle Resin Bound Finish
We then applied our UV-stable natural pea shingle resin bound blend, one of our most popular colour options across Kent. The soft golden tones brighten the front of the property and complement both traditional and modern homes.
The resin was laid at approximately 18 mm depth over the existing concrete, creating a seamless, smooth, hard-wearing and low-maintenance driveway that will look great for years to come.
The Final Result
The finished resin driveway in Hythe looks elegant and inviting, with a beautifully even surface and a perfectly framed granite sett border. It has completely transformed the front of the property, improving both kerb appeal and practicality.
