Canberra resin bound driveway in Weston-super-Mare

Day one of surfacing begins with the warm Canberra aggregate being placed onto the prepared permeable concrete base, ready to be spread and hand finished.

The Canberra resin bound mix is being laid in controlled sections over the prepared area, with reinforcement mesh visible ahead of the fresh surface.

The freshly laid Canberra blend is compacted and smoothed by hand to create an even, tightly finished surface across the courtyard.

A wider view shows the first large section taking shape around the stone walls, doorway and access route as the team works across the courtyard.

The entrance run is a tired tarmac surface with moss, weeds and worn edges visible. This gives a clear before record before the surface is cleaned back and assessed for resin bound preparation.

The main yard area has aged concrete with surface staining, vegetation around the edges and different levels to consider before the resin bound system is installed.

The rear section needs clearing and tidying before prep can begin properly. Loose debris and stored items will be moved so the existing base can be inspected across the full area.

This area shows the sort of detailing that matters before resin bound work starts: covers, thresholds, pipework and levels all need checking so the finished surface sits cleanly and drains correctly.

The side drive is a mix of old tarmac and concrete with moss and weeds through the surface. The preparation will focus on creating a sound, clean, stable base ready for the resin bound finish.

The worn surface has been broken out along the side of the property so loose and failed material can be removed before the new base is prepared.

This stage exposes the weak areas around the existing cover and edging. The levels can now be checked before the resin bound system is built up.

With the failed surface stripped back, the driveway run is being levelled and tidied so the base can be made consistent along the house wall and side access.

The broken-out material is being cleared from site, leaving the working area ready for the next preparation stage around the property frontage.

Fresh edging has been set along the driveway run beside the boundary planting, giving the resin bound surface a clean retained edge before the base is built up.

The door threshold has been prepared with block edging and a level pad so the finished surface can meet the entrance cleanly.

This area shows the drainage channel running alongside the property and the prepared base taking shape before the resin bound finish is installed.

The channel drain has been set across the outbuilding frontage to manage surface water before the surrounding area is finished.

The side run has been edged along the hedge line, keeping the driveway shape defined and ready for the next base preparation stage.

The permeable concrete base is now in across the courtyard, giving the resin bound finish a free-draining, stable structure rather than laying directly over the old mixed tarmac and concrete.

This wide view shows the newly installed permeable concrete running along the property wall, with levels brought together around the house, boundaries and service covers before the final resin surface.

The side access and working strip have been brought up to the same base stage, leaving the driveway ready for final checks before the resin bound layer is installed.

The entrance and main driveway base are now down, with levels tied into the kerb line, boundary planting and access route before the resin bound surface is installed.

This view shows the main courtyard area after the permeable concrete was installed on 3 July 2026, ready for final checks before the resin bound finish goes down.

The side run has been brought up cleanly between the stone edging and hedge line, leaving a consistent base ready for resin bound surfacing the week commencing 6 July 2026.
