If you are looking for a contemporary Resin Bound surfacing installation with No-dig or a Minimum dig requirement, our innovative patented Terrabase Classic system can provide the solution.

Terrabase Classic is a unique paving system that provides a decorative, contemporary, permeable surface using our range of 6mm Resin Bound systems with our patented Terrabase product that does not require a concrete or asphalt base. The Terrabase Classic system is suitable for pedestrian footpaths and areas subject to occasional trafficking by light vehicles including driveways and parking spaces.

Depending on your requirements, Terrabase Classic can be applied directly onto most suitable surfaces and gradients. Potentially it can even be installed directly onto the ground with no or minimum digging or edging required. An ideal replacement or overlay system for self-binding surfaces such as ‘Hoggin’ as it is fully bound and will not be washed away.

Terrabase Classic is porous, allowing water to permeate/percolate through the surface and beyond when a suitable base build-up configured for SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) has been installed.

Using our innovative Terrabase system, the choice of surface finish includes our 6mm and 10mm Addaset, Addabound and Terrabound Resin Bound blends offering a contemporary finish without the need for invasive groundworks, making it ideal for garden design project and sensitive sites.

We offer a 10 Year Product Guarantee on our Terrabase Classic.

If you require a more rustic looking finish using a larger stone size, take a look at our Terrabase Rustic Resin Bound porous surfacing system with a 6-10mm aggregate blend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s The Difference Between Resin Bound And Resin Bonded?

There are two different systems that use resin to fix gravel aggregates to create decorative surfacing. These are Resin Bound porous paving and Resin Bonded paving and whilst similar in name they have different properties, application methods and aesthetics. Resin bound surfacing consists of aggregate mixed with resin in specific blends using specific aggregate to resin ratios. The material is trowelled down to a smooth finish similar to a screed (with no loose stones). Depths are specified depending on aggregate size, normally 12mm, 16mm, 18mm or 24mm. Resin bonded surfacing is a scatter system which provides texture and the appearance of loose gravel. A layer of resin is applied to a suitable surface laid to falls and covered with loose aggregate. Once cured the remaining loose stones are removed. Thickness is governed by aggregate size. i.e. 1-3mm aggregate will have a nominal depth of 4mm.

Does Terrabase come with a product guarantee?

Our patented Terrabase Rustic and Terrabase Classic systems come with a Product Guarantee of up to 10 Years depending on project type and surface use.

How do I clean my Terrabase Rustic Driveway

General cleaning of the TERRABASE surface can be carried out by cold pressure washing up to a maximum 150 bar rating to remove dirt and grime. The water should be applied using a fan type lance which should be kept 200mm above the installed TERRABASE. Care should be taken however to prevent damage to the surface with excessive water pressure. Our full Terrabase O & M Manual is available to download as a pdf
