Resin Bonded System & Resin Bound Tree Pits

Resin Bonded System

Resin Bonded System: The Resin Bonded Surfacing System offers an attractive, decorative surface providing the appearance of loose gravel by bonding or fixing loose gravel
aggregates to concrete or asphalt.

A wide range of natural and recycled aggregates are available, used previously on heritage sites, landscaping schemes, parks, paths, driveways, and visitor attractions.

Benefits

  • Aesthetically pleasing – decorative natural appearance
  • Fixed – does not move, migrate or wash away
  • Anti-slip – textured aggregates provide a good anti-skid surface

Life Expectancy

Resin Bonded Gravel surfaces can be very resilient, however life spans will depend on usage, environment, substrates, maintenance and choice of aggregate.

Resin Bound Tree Pits

Resin Bound Tree Pits are designed to provide an attractive and aesthetically pleasing porous paving system, using a variety of natural or recycled aggregates with a typical grading size of 6-10mm.

The open texture achieved provides a highly porous resin bound surface, allowing the tree roots access to both air and water penetration.

As Tree Pit installations are laid without any loose aggregates and flush with the surrounding paving areas, they have the added advantage of not becoming a litter trap, which can occur with traditional tree grilles.

The installation of trees within any site can dramatically enhance the overall appearance, so ensuring they are installed correctly with durable tree pits that are in keeping with the surroundings is vital.

Foot Traffic

  • 25mm depth – No foot traffic.
  • 50mm depth – Light foot traffic.
  • 75mm depth – Heavy foot traffic.

Kerb edging and collar detail

A suitable edging detail and collar is installed around the base of the tree and at the edges
of the tree pit as required.

Planting

The tree should be planted and anchored in urban tree soil or similar.
The addition of a Greenleaf Root Rain Precinct Irrigator/Aerator and Greenleaf Root Director
is also advisable.
