Resin-bound stone is naturally permeable — water drains through the surface to the substrate instead of pooling or running into the street. SuDS-compliant, meltwater won't freeze on the surface, and there's no need for drains or grading adjustments.
The key difference between resin-bound stone and a solid surface like concrete or asphalt is the gap between aggregate particles. In a resin-bound system, every stone is coated in resin but the spaces between them remain open — water passes through to the base layer and soaks into the ground below.
This matters most where municipalities charge for stormwater run-off, where driveway pooling creates ice hazards in winter, and anywhere you want to keep water on your property instead of sending it to the street. Resin-bound permeable paving eliminates the need for drains, catch basins, or grading adjustments on most sites.
Same path, same grade — the difference is a permeable surface that lets water pass through instead of pooling on top.
Meets Sustainable Drainage Systems standards for permeable paving — reduce or eliminate municipal drainage charges.
Meltwater drains through instead of pooling and freezing. No black ice, no salt rings, no slip hazard.
Because the surface drains itself, there's no need for trench drains, catch basins, or grading adjustments on most sites.
