CARE & MAINTENANCE

Introduction

Thank you for choosing HPM Groundworks & Surfacing LTD for your resin bound gravel installation. With proper care, your new driveway or path will remain attractive and durable for many years. Following these simple guidelines will protect your investment.

General Care

• Sweep regularly with a stiff broom to remove loose debris.
• Wash with a pressure washer on fan setting — max 150 bar / 2,200 psi, nozzle at least 200mm from surface.
• Avoid a concentrated jet directly on the resin surface.
• Clean spills immediately with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.

Weed & Moss Prevention

• Remove weeds by hand or use a water-based weed killer.
• Treat shaded or damp areas with a proprietary moss or algae remover.
• Apply a suitable sealant to help resist biological growth.
• Avoid solvents or acids — these can damage the resin binder.

Winter Care

• Use a plastic shovel or soft brush to clear snow — avoid metal shovels.
• Use non-corrosive de-icing salts where possible.
• Avoid rock salt where possible as it can cause surface damage over time.
• Sweep away residue when conditions improve.
