Can Weeds Grow Through A Resin Driveway?

Charlie Clark • December 9, 2023

With the growing popularity of resin driveways in Bristol, one recurring question is whether weeds can grow through them. Today, we'll walk you through this question and dispel all myths.

Understanding Resin Driveway Composition

Resin driveways are created by combining natural aggregates with a transparent resin binder. The slurry is then applied to a suitable area and allowed to cure, resulting in a smooth, robust, and aesthetically pleasing driveway for your home. Resin drives provide various advantages, including crack resistance, excellent lifespan, high resilience to big loads, and anti-weed properties!

Weeds and Resin Driveways

Weeds are frequently spotted on block paver and gravel driveways, making them appear unkempt and increasing maintenance expenditures. Weeds have almost no chance of breaking through on resin driveways. Let's look at the construction method in order to prevent weeds from appearing.

How Do We Stop Weeds?

To keep things simple, everything is in the foundation work. Weeds are unable to penetrate due to the firm base of permeable tarmac. The preparation work is critical, and the application of the resin itself gives another layer of weed protection.

Tips For Maintenance

Weeds can only appear in a resin driveway if debris or organic waste finds its way to the top of the driveway. This might happen accidentally when cutting grass or during specific seasons. A simple power wash every now and again would remove this possible problem of little weeds growing in this way. If weeds do appear in this manner, the best approach is to use mild weed killers formulated for resin, or simply remove any small weeds before they grow and do damage. Of course, this type of concern would not occur for a lot of properties where there is no grass or trees nearby, and when the atmosphere is quite urban.

Resin driveways are durable, visually pleasing, and weed-free. Weeds can grow in any outdoor place, but the sub-base and nature of resin driveways make it extremely improbable. With a little care, you can assure that you will never see a weed on your driveway.
