Resin bound is a smooth, seamless, fully permeable surface made by mixing natural stone aggregate with a clear UV resistant resin and hand troweling it over your existing base. The result is a flawless decorative finish with no loose stones, no cracks, and no puddles. Water drains straight through, so it stays dry and slip resistant in rain, and the colors stay true even under intense North American sun. It works beautifully on driveways, patios, pool decks, pathways, and commercial spaces, and with 30+ aggregate blends to choose from, the design possibilities are endless.
Whether you’re renovating a driveway, training as an installer, or partnering to distribute products, Resin Rock has the kits, training and commercial solutions you need.

Resin bound is one of the fastest growing surfacing trades in North America, and our installers are earning $2,000 to $5,000+ per project with minimal setup. Do the math across a steady calendar of driveways, patios, and pool decks and a six-figure year is well within reach. The only thing standing between you and that opportunity is the right training, and that is exactly what we built.
Through Resin Rock Training, the world's first complete online and hands-on resin bound program, you learn the entire system from a 2-time award-winning supplier: surface prep, mixing ratios, troweling technique, edge detailing, curing, quoting, and how to win and price jobs. Beginner or seasoned contractor, you finish as a certified installer ready to take on real work, backed by ongoing product supply, marketing support, and a national network of professionals who started exactly where you are now.
A forced action mixer is essential for resin bound surfacing because it creates a fast, even, and consistent mix in every batch. By thoroughly blending resin and aggregate, it helps improve the overall finish, reduce material waste, and produce stronger, smoother, and more reliable surfaces for driveways, patios, and pathways.
Latest story
Thinking of covering an old concrete driveway, patio, or pool deck? Here is how to tell if your slab is ready for resin bound, which cracks you can cover, and when to repair first.
Resin Rock supplies resin bound surfacing materials to homeowners, contractors, and commercial property owners across the United States and Canada. We are one of the resin bound material suppliers that works directly with trusted formulators to bring our binder to market, rather than simply relabeling whatever generic product happens to be cheapest that quarter, and that matters more than most buyers realize once they start comparing quotes.
So what actually is resin bound surfacing? It is natural stone aggregate mixed with a clear UV resistant resin binder, then troweled by hand over a prepared base. Done right, you get a flat, fully bonded surface with no loose stones and no puddles after a storm. Water just moves through it and into the ground.
That permeability is the whole point for a lot of buyers. A resin bound driveway holds its color under harsh sun, resists cracking better than plain concrete, and stays grippy underfoot even when it is soaked. Resin Rock has grown into the largest resin bound distributor in North America by building products that hold up to that promise, not just marketing them.
Every project starts with two things: a resin binder and an aggregate blend. Resin Rock makes both, which is unusual in this industry since a lot of suppliers only handle one side of that equation.
Our resin bound binder comes in part A and part B formulas built specifically for outdoor use. If the surface sits in direct sunlight, use our UV stable resin. Shaded areas or vertical applications like retaining walls generally do fine with non UV resin, which costs less. Either way, the goal is the same: no yellowing, no fading, no cracking three summers in.
If you would rather not source everything separately, order one of our resin bound kits. Binder, aggregate, and the tools you need to apply it all show up in one shipment, sized for whatever you are building, from a small pathway to a full driveway.
Prefer to pick your own stone? Browse the Resin Bound Aggregate collection. We work with quartz, granite, marble, and basalt pulled from quarries around the world, then screened so each bag matches the last in size, shape, and color.
Every batch gets tested for strength and workability before it ships. Contractors notice the difference, and it is a big part of why so many of them order from us again on the next job.
Almost every homeowner researching this surface hits the same wall: resin bound and resin bonded sound like the same thing, but they are not.
Resin bound mixes the aggregate into the resin before it ever touches the ground, which is what gives you that smooth, flat, fully permeable finish. Resin bonded works the other way around. Loose stone gets scattered onto resin already spread on the surface, leaving a rougher, more textured finish that does not drain the same way and usually needs separate drainage planned in.
Because resin bound surfacing lets water pass straight through, it typically meets SUDS compliant drainage standards, provided the sub base underneath is prepared correctly. That last part gets skipped more often than it should. A weak or poorly compacted sub base is the number one reason resin bound driveways crack or sink a few years down the line, not the resin itself.
It shows up on driveways and patios most often, but that is really just the start.
Pool decks are a natural fit since the surface stays cool underfoot and drains fast around splashing water. Commercial properties use it at entrances and outdoor seating areas where slipping is a liability nobody wants. Schools and playgrounds like it for the same slip resistance, plus it can take years of foot traffic without wearing thin.
Gyms with outdoor training areas need something that stays dry and stable no matter the weather, and municipal parks departments are increasingly swapping asphalt for resin bound paving because it checks the permeable paving box without a separate drainage system underneath.
We ship from seven locations nationwide. That matters more than it sounds like it should, mainly because nobody wants their kit sitting in a truck for a week when they are trying to hit a deadline.
Here is where we currently operate:
For the full list, plus the fastest way to place an order, check our locations page. We keep adding distribution points as demand grows in each of these states, since the whole point of being local is not making people wait.
This is a trade you learn with your hands, not just by reading a spec sheet. Mixing ratios, troweling technique, sub base prep, edge detailing, all of it takes practice to get consistent.
That is the reasoning behind our resin bound training program. It pairs online coursework with real hands on practice, taught by installers who have actually done the work in the field, not instructors reading from a manual.
Finish the program and you join our certified installer network, which is listed on the find an installer directory so homeowners can find someone qualified near them. That certification is not just a badge either. It means the installer has shown they can prep a base properly, hit the right mix ratio, and finish a surface that actually meets our warranty standards.
Beyond the standard driveway and patio work, we also carry Glow Rock, an aggregate that soaks up daylight and glows softly after dark. People use it a lot along pathways, around pool edges, or as a border accent that pops at night.
Every line we sell, glow stone included, goes through the same testing before it reaches a shelf or a customer's order.
Resin Rock has picked up two industry awards at this point, and our binder formulas get tested on an ongoing basis rather than relying on one certification from years back. Combine that with a certified installer network and seven distribution points, and it is easy to see why contractors keep calling us the top resin bound distributor in North America.
Concrete and asphalt are still common, but resin bound keeps chipping away at that market wherever drainage, color, and long term durability matter more than the lowest bid.
Whether you are a homeowner planning a new driveway, a contractor bidding a commercial patio, or a distributor looking to add resin bound products to your catalog, you can work directly with us on all of it.
Kits, raw aggregate, installer training, nationwide shipping, it is all handled under one roof, backed by real installation experience and a network of certified professionals working across the United States.
Most residential driveways wrap up in one to two days once the base is ready. Bigger commercial jobs or intricate patterns take longer, but it still beats most traditional paving timelines by a wide margin.
Yes, assuming the sub base underneath is porous and properly compacted. Water goes straight through into the ground instead of running off, which is why it meets SUDS compliant standards in most areas.
Done properly, fifteen years plus is realistic with nothing more than occasional sweeping or a jet wash. Most of that lifespan comes down to sub base prep and using UV stable resin instead of cutting corners on the formula.
For something small like a pathway, sure, a resin bound kit makes it doable if you are reasonably handy. Driveways are a different story. Mixing ratios, working time, and clean edges are easy to mess up the first time around, and a bad first attempt is expensive to fix.
