Resin Driveways Poole and Dorset

Making the choice to install a resin driveway in your Dorset property or residential area, has the potential to make the area more beautiful. They have a variety of colour options, they’re safer than gravel, and are better for the environment, due to their unrivalled permeability.

Poole homeowners and beyond, it is time to make sure you put in the minimal work it takes to have a beautiful and functional resin driveway for years to come.

With proper maintenance and care, a resin driveway can be an investment that will last for decades, remaining neat, clean, and colourful, as the years go by.

The Perfect Driveway for Your Property in Poole

Every single resin driveway Poole homeowners and businesses can have created at their property, has been designed and installed to suit the needs and desires of the property’s owner.

A variety of aspects can be custom-altered, such as the stone size, the colour, and the shapes or patterns that you may desire on your driveway.

For those on a limited budget, or simply looking for another reason to enjoy the great outdoors, resin bound driveways can be easily maintained-provided you opt for a reputable driveway installation company as your Poole-based contractor of choice.

Why Driveway Maintenance Matters

After the installation of a resin driveway, pathway or newly upgraded outdoor area, it will require some basic care. It is easy to complete, and the results are tangible, ensuring the driveway continues to look amazingly brand new year round.

These types of driveways can be efficiently cleaned any time of the year, from the depths of freezing winter to the heat-filled summer.

By maintaining your Dorset driveway, the microscopic holes won’t get clogged over the years, which means it will remain environmentally friendly, and continue to prevent standing water and runoff water for the long-term-a major cause of flash floods.

Cleaning Your New Dorset Driveway

If you choose to shop for a cleaning service in Poole and the surrounding region, be sure to consider your proposed company’s past projects before you press ahead and hire their help. By doing preliminary research beforehand, you ensure you receive the quality service you deserve, from a reputable Dorset business.

Basic Cleaning

Although you can enlist the help of a company, the process involved in maintaining your Poole driveway can easily be undertaken yourself.

Using a long outdoor broom with stiff bristles, brush the driveway towards the edges to remove dirt, oils, and other foreign contaminants and pollutants. At the same time, be sure to rinse the surface with a hose to help loosen the particles from their embedded locations in the resin.

It is acceptable (though not necessary) to use a pressure washer to clean the surface, but keep it on a low setting. Hot pressure water, or an intensely high pressure could cause damage to the resin.

Finally, NEVER bring a pressure washer nozzle closer than 200 mm to the surface, and always spray it with a back and forth sweeping motion.

Weeds

It is unlikely that weeds will spring up, especially if all weeds were properly removed from the original surface before the resin driveway was installed.

However, if any weeds push through, applying the appropriate weed killer to your brand new Poole driveway ought to do the trick.

Moss, Oil & Gum

Due to the natural aspect of resin, moss may grow on your driveway over time-as it tends to do on all outdoor surfaces over time.

However, this is easily remedied, using the same cleaning method outlined above-water and a stiff broom.

If oil spills onto the surface, ensure to clean it right away, or risk a stain that will prove decidedly difficult to remove. Chewing gum can be removed quickly by spraying it down with icy or freezing water so it hardens, then scraping it off with a paint scraper.

Make Your Poole Resin Driveway Work For You!

First of all, be aware of which liquids are coming into contact with your resin driveway. Oils and greasy substances will not damage your surface, but can easily cause a stain if they are not cleaned as soon as they occur.

Hardening substances, such as plaster and cement, are quite difficult to remove from this surface once it has set.

Finally, solvents such as petrol can actually soften the resin chemicals, which may damage the surface of your 

If you are placing a heavy load in a small location, such as when you use a car jack, it is best to place the car jack on wooden boards in order to spread the weight load and lesson the possible damage to the driveway.

In general, most resin driveways are not supposed to be used with extremely heavy objects or vehicles such as commercial semis. Be aware of moving gardening equipment or even car parts, and do not drag them across the surface.
