Resin-bound surfaces
Seamless, permeable, UV-stable stone for driveways, patios, pool surrounds and pathways — hand-trowelled into one joint-free, weed-free wear course.
Explore resin-boundResin-bound stone surfaces, epoxy floor coatings and landscaping across Geelong, the Bellarine & Surf Coast — mechanically prepped, laid by trained crews and backed by a 5-year written workmanship guarantee. The finish lasts because of what we do underneath it.
A closer look at the six resin-bound aggregate blends we install — rounded 2–5 mm stone, bound flush in UV-stable resin for a seamless, permeable finish.
Hard-wearing surfaces, floor coatings and landscaping for homes and businesses across Geelong, the Bellarine & Surf Coast. They look like different trades, but they share one obsession — the prep and the base underneath, which is what decides whether a finish lasts.

No mystery, no jargon for its own sake. This is the honest specification behind a Terralume surface — the same detail we'll itemise on your written quote, so you can compare us like-for-like against anyone else.
Aggregate is supplier-neutral and confirmed per project; resin chemistry is verified against the product's TDS/SDS before we lay a single batch.
Resin-bound stone isn't a loose scatter-coat and it isn't a sealant painted over gravel. It's a trowelled wear course of rounded aggregate bound flush in UV-stable resin, laid over a properly prepared base — and on a permeable build-up, rain drains straight down through the layers rather than pooling on top.
Rounded ~2–5 mm aggregate bound flush in two-part aliphatic resin and hand-trowelled to a smooth, seamless finish — ~18 mm minimum under vehicles, ~15 mm for foot traffic.
On a permeable build-up, an open-graded base lets water pass through and hold briefly before it discharges — the layer that makes the system WSUD-capable, subject to site and council.
A compacted sub-base, or a sound existing concrete slab, carries the load. We check the base and falls on site before quoting — the spec follows the ground, not the other way around.
Where a permeable build-up is approved, rainfall drains down through the surface to an approved discharge point — far less surface run-off than sealed concrete or asphalt.

We don't cut corners and we don't oversell. Every project is installed to spec by trained crews, with materials chosen for Geelong's temperate maritime climate — cool wet winters and warm, dry summers, with the occasional frost.
We'd rather quote one job properly than win ten on a number we can't honour.
Resin-bound stone, an epoxy floor and a new lawn look like three different trades — but they fail for the same reason: a base that wasn't prepared properly. So that's where we put the work. The right prep, the right base, every time, by crews who know what "sound" actually looks like before the finish goes down.
We do it ourselves — no subbies chasing the next job, no learning on your driveway, and no overselling what your site can't deliver. If we can't do it well, we'll tell you. That's the deal.
An honest comparison against the common alternatives. No surface wins on everything — but resin-bound stone is the one that's seamless, permeable-capable and free of loose stone, all at once.
A closer look at the resin-bound blends we install — rounded stone bound flush for a seamless, permeable surface. Indicative renders; we'll add our own on-site photography as we complete projects.
A clear, four-step process with no surprises. You'll know the exact spec, the timeline and the price in writing before we start — and exactly what to expect on install day.
We come to you, measure up, check the base, falls and drainage, and talk through colours and finishes on site — with real stone samples in hand.
A clear, itemised quote with the exact spec, aggregate blend, depth and guarantee — no vague estimates and no "subject to" surprises once we start.
Our trained crew prepares the base properly, then mixes and hand-trowels the resin-bound stone to a seamless, even finish — most residential jobs in 1–2 days.
Foot traffic in around 6–8 hours; we walk you through care, full-cure timings and hand over your 5-year written workmanship guarantee.

We're a local specialist serving the greater Geelong region — from the city and the suburbs out across the Bellarine Peninsula and down the Surf Coast. We work with homeowners and with landscape architects, builders and specifiers who need the spec done right.
New driveways, patios, pool surrounds and pathways — or refreshing a tired one. We bring the samples to you and quote in plain language.
A buildable, honest spec you can put your name to — depth, aggregate, permeability and discharge detailed, and verified against the product TDS.
A reliable finishing surface that ties driveways, entries and outdoor living together — scheduled to fit your program, not the other way around.

We're new, and we'd rather earn your trust than fake it. Our first projects across Geelong, the Bellarine & Surf Coast are offered at a founder rate in exchange for permission to photograph the finished work and share an honest review. Same fixed written quote, same 5-year workmanship guarantee — just a better price for being early.
We're a new specialist business and we'd rather show you real, verified customer reviews than invent them. As we complete our first projects, we'll publish genuine homeowner and specifier feedback here — names, locations and all.
No paid placements, no stock photos and no made-up quotes. In the meantime, the best measure of our work is the gallery and our written, plain-language guarantee — both of which we stand behind.

Read the guideA few of the things homeowners and landscape architects ask us most.
Permeability is a property of the whole system, not the resin alone. A correctly installed resin-bound surface is permeable when it's laid over a permeable, open-graded base and sub-base — rainwater drains through to the base rather than pooling. (Resin-bonded surfaces, by contrast, are impermeable.) That generally makes a resin-bound build-up WSUD-friendly (Water Sensitive Urban Design, per Melbourne Water / Victorian guidance) for permeable-paving purposes, though approval is always subject to site conditions and the Greater Geelong City Council.
We specify a two-part aliphatic (UV/colour-stable) polyurethane resin chosen for sun exposure. It resists the yellowing and breakdown you get with cheaper aromatic resins — which yellow and aren't used on exterior work — which is why we're comfortable putting our guarantee in writing. (Resin chemistry is indicative; we verify the exact system against its product TDS/SDS.)
Most residential projects are completed in one to two days once the base is ready. At around 20 °C the surface is typically ready for foot traffic in about 6–8 hours and light vehicles in about 24–72 hours; full chemical cure takes around 7 days (being open to traffic is not the same as full cure). Cure times lengthen in cold or winter installs. The times we quote are a conservative buffer above the resin manufacturer's TDS minimums.
Often, yes. A sound, well-drained existing concrete slab can make an excellent base for a resin-bound wear course — but it must be structurally sound, clean and free of major cracking, and a slab is impermeable, so the finished surface won't be permeable on that build-up. If you want the permeable, WSUD-friendly version, we'd typically design a new open-graded base. We assess the existing surface on site and tell you honestly what it can take before we quote.
Far less than loose gravel or block paving. There are no joints to weed and no loose stone to rake back into place. In practice it's an occasional sweep or hose-down, the odd power-wash on a low setting, and keeping leaf litter off so organic matter doesn't stain. There's no annual resealing required for the surface to function — we'll talk you through simple care at handover.
Honestly, it depends on the site — and we won't pretend otherwise. Price is driven by area, the condition and falls of the existing base, whether you need a new permeable build-up, access, edging and the aggregate blend you choose. That's exactly why we quote on site rather than over the phone: you get one fixed, itemised written number for your actual project, not a per-square-metre guess. The free site assessment is genuinely no-obligation.
We work with homeowners and landscape architects across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast (the greater Geelong region). The fastest way to check is to send us your postcode — we'll confirm availability and book a free assessment.
