Resin bound paving involves mixing aggregate with resin and applying it evenly to create a smooth, porous surface. In contrast, resin bonded paving involves spreading a layer of resin onto a surface and then scattering loose aggregate on top, resulting in a textured finish. This gives a non-porous surface, which has a coarser finish and leaves a certain amount of loose stone on the final surface. Resin bound paving is generally more durable and requires less maintenance than resin bonded paving.

Block paving, also known as brick paving, is a method of creating paved surfaces using individual bricks or blocks. These blocks are typically made from concrete, clay or natural stone and are arranged in various patterns to create driveways, pathways, patios and other outdoor surfaces.

While weeds can sometimes sprout through the gravel, installing a weed barrier or membrane underneath the gravel can help prevent weed growth. Additionally, regular maintenance such as weed pulling or applying herbicides can help keep weeds at bay.

Regular maintenance is essential to keep block paving looking its best and to prolong its lifespan. This includes sweeping or power washing to remove debris and dirt, periodic resealing to protect against stains and fading and repairing any cracks or loose blocks as needed. Additionally, it’s important to keep vegetation, such as weeds and grass from growing between the blocks to prevent damage.

The duration of tarmac driveway installation depends on various factors such as the size of the area, the complexity of the project and weather conditions. On average, installation can take anywhere from 1 to 5 days.

Some key benefits of block paving include its durability, versatility in design, ease of repair and ability to withstand heavy loads. Block paving is also known for its aesthetic appeal, with a wide range of colours, patterns and textures available to suit different preferences and architectural styles.
