What is resin bound stone?
Natural stone and sand mixed with a resin binder and trowelled into a hard-wearing decorative surface. You may also see it called stone carpet, resin bound gravel or pebble stone.
The stones are bound in place rather than loose, and the open texture lets rain and meltwater drain straight through. That matters in Calgary, where water that sits on a surface turns to ice overnight.
Water permeable
Rain and meltwater drain through instead of pooling.
Eco-friendly
Natural stone with no chemical fumes, safe in enclosed spaces.
Pet friendly
Suits homes and yards with pets, and washes down quickly.
Kid friendly
A comfortable, non-slip surface for children to play on.
Keeps weeds out.
Flexes instead of cracking.
Less upkeep for you, year after year.
Paving stones and concrete slabs leave joints where weeds take hold. Resin bound stone is one seamless layer with no joints for roots to push through, so you can put away the weed killer.
It is flexible, too. Rigid concrete cracks as the ground freezes, thaws and shifts. Our resin binder has give in it, so the surface moves with those small shifts instead of snapping, the way a driveway slab does.
Keeps weeds out
No joints or gaps for weeds to root in.
Flexible, not brittle
Made to give with Calgary's freeze and thaw rather than crack like a concrete driveway.
Luxury starts at your driveway

Why tear out concrete when you can transform it? We lay real natural stone over suitable existing driveways, patios, walkways and entrances.

Your surface, in your own pattern
One of our own projects: curved bands of light and dark stone leading up to the front entrance.
Thin edge strips keep each colour crisp, so the stone can follow curves as well as straight lines. Pick the colours you like and tell us the shape you have in mind.
A worn concrete path, resurfaced
