Pour-On Gravel Binder
Transform your gravel paths and driveways with a durable, long-lasting binder.
Pour-On Gravel Binder is a high-performance, easy-to-use resin designed to bind loose gravel into a stable, long-lasting surface. Ideal for paths, walkways, and low-traffic driveways, it keeps gravel in place while allowing water to permeate, reducing runoff and erosion.
Pour-On Gravel Binder is applied directly over clean, dry, single-sized gravel (6mm–20mm) to form a durable bond at the touch points of the stones.
Applications
- Paths & Walkways: Perfect for footpaths, garden paths, and low-traffic areas. Keeps stones in place and reduces dust.
- Driveways: Suitable for light to medium use. For heavy traffic, consider combining with gravel grids and angular stone. For resurfacing concrete driveways, our professional installation service ensures durability and compliance with expansion joint requirements.
- Decorative Gravel Areas: Enhances natural beauty while preventing displacement and erosion.
Colour Options - Clear or Amber?
Choose your pour-on gravel binder by matching it to the tone and colour of your existing stone or gravel. Our Clear binder preserves and subtly enriches the natural colour of the stones, making them appear slightly deeper and more vibrant. Our Amber binder is ideal for lighter or pale stones, adding a warm tint that enhances their appearance and creates a richer, more inviting finish. Selecting the right binder ensures that the final surface complements your existing landscape and achieves the visual effect you want.
Amber is the more cost-effective option if you are not concerned about maintaining the original gravel colour.

- Liquid Binder: Handle with care; wear gloves and a mask; read safety data sheet before use.
Longevity & Maintenance
- Binder: 5+ years.
- Finished surface: depends on gravel quality, installation, traffic, and base stability.

DIY Installation
In your DIY Kit you’ll receive either a 5 kg or 20 kg container of premium-quality resin in clear or amber, ready to be poured over your own stones or pebbles. This product is resin only. If you require a combined stone-and-resin kit, please see our Stone & Resin DIY Kits.
To ensure the best results the stone must be graded as a single-sized aggregate between 6 mm and 20 mm, and it should be clean, dry, and free from dust or fines. Pour-on binder works with most types of stone as long as these grading requirements are met.
Once fully cured, the resin becomes a completely inert material, meaning it is safe for surrounding environments and will not leach or cause negative impacts. In its liquid state, however, the resin should be handled with care. Always read the Safety Data Sheet before use, wear protective gloves, and use a respirator when pouring large quantities or when working in confined spaces.
