Resin Bound Driveway Installation, Horsham

Project Overview

SGS Surfacing recently completed a domestic driveway transformation in Horsham using the impressive Necker Island Resin Bound system supplied by Vuba.

The project involved full excavation, drainage improvements, sub-base construction, asphalt installation, and the application of a high-quality resin bound finish across a total area of approximately 79.5 m², including agreed extensions to the original footprint.

This project highlights the importance of carrying out each stage of the installation process correctly. High-quality finishes are achieved through solid groundwork, careful preparation, and attention to detail throughout every phase of the works.

Curved gravel driveway bordered by stone edging leading to a two-car garage with white doors, front garden on either side.

Scope of Works

Excavation & Preparation

Excavated the existing driveway and pathway to an approximate depth of 350 mm across the full working area.
Removed all excavated materials from site for appropriate disposal and recycling.

Drainage Installation

Installed a vehicular-grade membrane across the prepared formation.
Installed a perforated land drain to improve drainage performance and assist with water management.

Edge Restraints & Structural Works

Installed 150 mm concrete cobbles and levelled accordingly.
Installed granite setts to all unsupported edges, laid onto full concrete beds for stability and durability.
Installed a recessed manhole cover to blend seamlessly with the finished surface.

Sub-Base Construction

Finished the sub-base using primary grade Type 3 aggregate, laid and compacted at 75 mm thickness to provide a stable permeable foundation suitable for resin bound surfacing.

Surfacing Installation

Hand laid AC20 open course binder at 50 mm thickness.
Installed a BBA-approved Resin Bound Gravel system in the colour Necker Island supplied by Vuba.

Outcome

The completed driveway delivered a clean, modern, and durable finish that significantly improved the appearance and functionality of the property.

By focusing on each stage of the installation process – from excavation and drainage through to final surfacing, SGS Surfacing ensured a high-quality end result built to perform long term.

We were extremely pleased with the finished project, and most importantly, the client was delighted with their new driveway.
