RESIN-BOUND IN BLACKWOOD
A Premium Finish That Suits Blackwood Homes
Blackwood driveways often deal with slope, leaf fall, and foothills movement -- so the surface needs more than a cosmetic topcoat.
Retain a Suitable Existing Base
Stable concrete or asphalt can often be retained after assessment; unstable bases remain outside this resurfacing service.
A Project-Specific Schedule
Preparation, size, access, weather, curing and material availability all affect timing.
UV-Stable Resin System
The resin is selected to help reduce yellowing; natural aggregate and outdoor finishes can still vary and weather over time.

UV-Stable Resin System
The resin is selected to help reduce yellowing; natural aggregate and outdoor finishes can still vary and weather over time.
Installation and Cure Are Site-Specific
Timing depends on preparation, size, access, weather and cure. Keep people off for at least 24 hours and vehicles off for 48 hours, or longer if advised.
Drainage Is Assessed With the Site
The surface layer is porous, but overall drainage depends on the existing base, falls, outlets and site design.
Clear Scope From Enquiry to Handover
Gorilla Surfaces reviews suitability, provides a written quote and confirms the installation and handover scope.
Resin-Bound vs The Alternatives
| Decision factor | Resin-BoundResurfacing | ConcreteReplacement | PaversUnit paving |
|---|---|---|---|
| First suitability question | Is the existing hard base stable and suitable to retain? | Does the slab or base need removal and reconstruction? | Does the supporting base suit a jointed paving system? |
| Preparation and timing | Preparation, installation and cure timing are confirmed after assessment. | Removal, new-slab work and curing are project-specific. | Base preparation, edging and laying time are project-specific. |
| Drainage | The surface layer is porous; complete drainage depends on the base, falls and outlets. | Ordinary concrete relies on designed falls, outlets and site drainage. | Drainage depends on the base, joints, falls and outlets. |
| Movement and cracking | A crack-reduction membrane is used where required; no overlay is crack-proof. | Movement and shrinkage can affect slabs; performance is site-specific. | Individual units can move or settle if the supporting system changes. |
| Appearance | Hand-trowelled natural aggregate; 29 blends with natural stone variation. | Appearance depends on the selected concrete finish and specification. | Appearance depends on the selected unit, pattern, joints and edging. |
| Ongoing care | Routine cleaning and care depend on use, debris, shade and site conditions. | Cleaning and repair needs depend on the finish, use and conditions. | Joints, weeds, movement and cleaning may require ongoing attention. |

Jack Perchard
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Liam was upfront about everything, pricing, timeline, and what to expect. The quote was accurate, and there were no hidden extras. The team were punctual, professional, and incredibly tidy. They cleaned up at the end of each day, and you'd barely know they'd been here. The driveway looks incredible, the colour matched the samples exactly. Completed in under two days. Highly recommend.
Asher Mather-Neill
This whole process was seamless from start to finish. Communication was great from the Gorilla Surfaces team, pricing was excellent, and the work was started and finished in the timeline given. We absolutely love our new resurfaced pool area and walkways, and highly recommend GS for any resurfacing job. We went from dingy to fantastic in a couple of days, thanks to Ben and Liam!
Jamilla Starr
Communication was excellent. Ben from Gorilla was very insightful when he first came, he provided us with a lot of information, and made it really easy to pick the best path forward 😊. The actual installation took around 2 days, which was much quicker than we had expected. The workers were considerate and clean. Couldn't be happier with the new resin-bound drive.
Casey Mifsud
Really happy with how our front path and porch turned out. Went with Gorilla Surfaces and glad we did. Ben was easy to deal with from start to finish, and his team did a really clean job. Looks exactly like the colour sample we picked. Good communication, showed up on time, left everything tidy. Would definitely use again
Bryce Summerton
From the quote to clean up everything was clear and on time. The Gorilla team were very supportive with their feedback and recommendations. Very knowledgeable crew! The new finish has completely lifted the street appeal of our home.

FAQs
Blackwood Resin-Bound Questions, Answered
As an initial budget guide, straightforward qualifying residential resurfacing may fall around $172–$200 per m². Final pricing depends on site assessment, total area, base condition, preparation, access, edges and finish. A minimum project charge based on 20 m² applies.
Gorilla Surfaces uses a UV-stable resin selected to help reduce yellowing. No outdoor finish is fade-proof, and natural aggregate variation and normal weathering can affect appearance over time.
Stable concrete is the preferred base and suitable asphalt can also qualify. Stable pavers are considered selectively. Cracking, movement, drainage, levels, edges and access are assessed before an overlay is recommended.
For a suitable stable base, Gorilla Surfaces normally specifies an 18 mm driveway layer. Loading, edges, preparation and site conditions are assessed before suitability is confirmed.
A crack-reduction membrane is used where required to help reduce crack reflection, but no overlay is crack-proof. Active or ongoing base movement may transfer through the finish or make resurfacing unsuitable.
Installation timing depends on preparation, project size, access and weather. Keep people off the completed surface for at least 24 hours and vehicles off for 48 hours, or longer if advised.
No outdoor surface is non-slip. Wet-use suitability depends on the proposed application, installation, drainage, cleaning and conditions. Gorilla Surfaces does not claim an AS/NZS 4586 classification without relevant project evidence.
The resin-bound surface layer is porous, but whole-area drainage depends on the existing base, falls, outlets and site design. An overlay over ordinary concrete is not a fully permeable system.
