Front porches and back patios take the brunt of the seasons — sun on every face, salt and meltwater every winter, foot traffic year-round. Resin-bound stone installs over the existing slab in two days, holds a flat finish for years, and reads as one cohesive surface from doorstep to garden.
The thing most patio surfaces get wrong is the seams. Pavers gap and trap dirt; poured concrete cracks at the control joints; tile lifts. Resin-bound stone goes down as one continuous, monolithic surface — no seams to lift, no grout to scrub.
We resurface front steps, full back patios, BBQ pads, side stairways, and connecting walkways. Existing concrete or brick stays — the resin-bound layer installs directly over the top, so railings, planters, and surrounding landscaping aren't disturbed.
Same front entrance, two days apart. The existing concrete stays — the resin-bound finish goes directly over the top, edges and step profiles preserved.
No grout joints to scrub, no pavers to lift. One continuous resin-bound surface across stairs, landings, and the patio itself.
Crisp step nosings and bullnose returns. We hand-tool every edge so the geometry reads sharp from the curb.
Won't etch from de-icing salt and won't spall under freeze-thaw — the porous matrix breathes instead of trapping moisture.
Common questions
Yes, when the substrate is stable. Stable pavers can stay if they're well-set; loose or shifting ones need to be re-laid first. Stamped concrete is an ideal substrate — the resin-bound layer bonds directly over it and gives you a smooth, seamless finish.
Resin-bound stone is monolithic — one continuous surface with no control joints to crack along. We use expansion details only where the patio meets the house wall or steps, hidden in the transition.
It won't etch or pit from de-icing salt. In spring we recommend brushing off any heavy salt residue and giving the surface a quick rinse — that's the entire annual maintenance.
Yes — we hand-tool every edge and bullnose. Resin-bound is more forgiving on curves and irregular geometry than concrete or pavers because it's trowelled in place rather than cast or laid.
