I'm seriously considering tackling a new project this spring and creating a resin bound driveway. I've watched a bunch of videos, and it looks manageable for a DIY enthusiast like myself, but I know internet tutorials can sometimes make things seem easier than they are. Has anyone here actually completed a full DIY resin bound driveway project? I'd love to hear about your experiences, what challenges you faced, and if you have any tips or tricks for a first-timer. Was it worth the effort and cost savings compared to hiring professionals?
My friend, who is pretty handy, decided to do his own Resin Driveway last summer. He's usually pretty good at these sorts of things, but he did admit it was a lot more labor-intensive than he initially thought. He ended up using one of those pre-measured kits, specifically an Autumn Quartz kit, which worked out well for the materials side of things. The biggest learning curve for him was getting the mix just right and ensuring a perfectly even spread before it started to cure too much. He spent a lot of time on preparation, making sure the sub-base was flawless, which he said was crucial. Overall, he was really proud of the finished Resin Driveway and thought the money saved made the extra effort entirely worthwhile.
