Service FAQs

Is a resin-bound driveway rubber?

No. It is natural stone aggregate bound with a professional resin system — not a rubberized overlay.

Can resin-bound go over my existing driveway?

Often, yes, if the slab is stable enough. Photos and an onsite review confirm whether crack repair, prep, or tear-out is needed.

Is a resin-bound driveway permeable?

Yes. Resin-bound surfacing is designed with an open stone structure that allows water to pass through the surface. Full drainage performance depends on the base, site conditions, and installation method.

Will it help with puddles?

It can help reduce surface water and puddling when installed over a suitable base with proper drainage. We review the base, slope, and where water exits before final pricing.

How much does a resin-bound driveway cost in Cincinnati?

Pricing depends on square footage, prep, edges, drainage, and stone blend. Use the fast price range estimator, then send photos for a tighter review.
