Resin
Resin surfacing is our founding trade. We install resin bound and resin bonded systems on driveways, paths, patios and commercial areas throughout Essex, mixing UV-stable resins with natural aggregates on site for a seamless finish that stands up to daily traffic and British weather.
Because a resin bound surface is porous, rainwater soaks straight through it rather than pooling or running onto the highway — which is why so many Essex homeowners can resurface a front garden without a planning application. We specify the correct depth and aggregate blend for every site we survey.

Experience
Our installers have laid resin systems for over fifteen years, including work as a Resin Mill approved installer on domestic and commercial projects of every size.
Quality
Every mix uses UV-stable binders from suppliers such as Geoveko, laid at the correct depth over a properly prepared base so the finish stays flat, permeable and colour-fast.
Service
You deal with the same small team throughout — site survey, written quotation, preparation and trowelled finish — with no subcontracted labour in between.
Overview
Two systems, two finishes: resin bound is trowelled smooth and fully permeable, while resin bonded scatters aggregate over a resin film for a high-grip textured surface. We recommend the right system once we have seen how your space drains and how it is used.
Resin bound surfacing is a smooth, permeable paving solution created by mixing natural aggregate stones with high-quality clear resin before installation. Ideal for resin bound driveways, paths and patios, it is durable, SUDS compliant and allows water to drain through the surface.
Resin bonded surfacing is a high-grip decorative system where natural aggregates are scattered onto a resin layer to create a textured finish. Popular for resin bonded driveways and footpaths, it provides excellent slip resistance and a natural stone appearance.
Both resin bound and resin bonded surfaces are designed for durability and minimal maintenance. Occasional sweeping or power washing keeps the surface clean and prevents moss or debris buildup.
Andy Harragan & Sons specialises in professional resin bound and resin bonded surfacing using high-quality clear resin binders from trusted manufacturers such as Geoveko.
Create a strong first impression with a resin bound or resin bonded driveway. Durable, low maintenance and visually striking, resin driveways provide a smooth finish, excellent drainage and long-lasting kerb appeal for any home.
Enhance gardens and outdoor living areas with attractive resin patios and pathways. Resin surfaces provide a seamless, anti-slip finish that is comfortable underfoot and perfect for modern garden design.
Resin surfacing is ideal for commercial environments including courtyards, estate roads, cycle paths and public walkways. Its durability, permeability and clean finish make it a practical solution for high-traffic areas.
Looking for a safe, impact-absorbing surface for playgrounds, sports areas or recreational spaces? We offer specialist rubber crumb safety surfacing as a dedicated service.

Testimonials
“Andy Harragan and Sons replaced my block paving drive with resin and fully replaced the patio, sleepers and lawn in my back garden. From the initial visit through to completion, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andy and his team. Professional, polite, clean and nothing was too much trouble. I have recommended Andy to family and friends (and passers by admiring my drive!)”

FAQ
Usually not. Resin bound surfacing is porous, so it counts as permeable paving under the permitted development rules for front gardens — rainwater drains through the surface instead of running off it. Non-permeable finishes over five square metres at the front of a house need drainage provision instead, and we advise on all of this during the site survey.
Resin bound mixes the stone through the resin before it is trowelled flat, giving a smooth, porous surface ideal for driveways and patios. Resin bonded scatters stone over a layer of resin, giving a rougher, high-grip texture that is not permeable — a good choice for slopes and footpaths.
Curing depends on temperature and humidity, but as a rule the surface takes foot traffic within around twenty-four hours and vehicles within around seventy-two. We confirm exact timings for your installation before we leave site.
The UV-stable resins we use are formulated not to yellow, and natural aggregate holds its colour permanently — so the blend you choose stays true even on a south-facing drive.
An occasional sweep and a rinse with a hose or light pressure wash is all it needs. Because there are no joints there is nowhere for weeds to root; anything that appears is surface-seeded and pulls away easily.
