Why Resin Bound Beats Block Paving
(Even If You Like Bricks)

Alright—block paving looks classic, sure. But let’s be real: it’s a pain. Here’s why resin-bound wins, no fluff:
• No weeds – Block paving? Weeds love those gaps. Resin-bound’s seamless—nothing grows through.
• Water drains fast – Blocks hold puddles (hello, ice patches). Resin’s permeable—water sinks straight in, no pooling. Meets all the new SUDS rules too.
• No shifting – Blocks sink, lift, crack after two winters. Resin stays flat. One guy I know had his block drive re-levelled three times!
• Colour stays true – Blocks fade, get stained. Resin keeps that fresh look—ten years later, still sharp.
• Faster install – Blocks take a week. Resin? One to two days, then drive on it.
• Less noise – Tyres hum over bricks. Resin’s quiet—like walking on velvet.
Most people would rather wash it off once a year than pull weeds forever.
Still tempted by blocks? Fine—just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
