Resin bound path clean, Leigh
A resin bound surface covered in thick moss. Cleaned at low pressure so the moss came off without loosening the stone, bringing back the golden colour.
Is pressure washing safe for resin driveways?
Yes, as long as it's done at low pressure with the right equipment. Blast it too hard, too close, and you can loosen the stones that make up the surface.

Why resin needs care
A resin bound driveway is small stones held together by a clear resin. It's strong, but a high-pressure jet held close to the surface can work stones loose, especially at the edges or where the resin is older. Once stones start to come away, the gap tends to grow.
How resin should be cleaned
- Low pressure, with a surface cleaner held at an even height so no one spot gets blasted.
- The right cleaner to break down moss and algae, so the water doesn't have to do all the work.
- A biocide afterwards to slow green growth coming back.
That's how we clean resin. The aim is to lift the dirt and growth out of the surface without stressing the stones.
Signs your resin needs a clean
- Green or black patches, usually in shady spots or under cars
- Moss in the surface or along the edges
- The stone colour looks flat compared with when it was laid
Keeping it looking new
Sweep off leaves regularly, deal with oil drips quickly, and have it cleaned before moss gets thick. Moss is far easier to remove gently when it's young.

Questions
Does a resin driveway need re-sanding?
No. Resin bound surfaces have no sand joints, so there's nothing to re-sand. That's one of the advantages over block paving.
Can cleaning fix yellowed resin?
No. Some resins turn yellow in sunlight over the years. Cleaning removes dirt, moss and algae, but it won't change the colour of the resin itself. We'll tell you from your photos if that's what you're seeing.
How often should resin be cleaned?
Every one to two years for most driveways, more often if it's shaded or under trees.
