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.
No demolition
Resurface a sound base without tearing through retaining edges, trees, or access.
Done in ~2 days
Quick installs matter when access is tight on sloping sites.
Better for Blackwood conditions
Permeable stone helps with water runoff, and the textured finish copes better in damp, leafy foothills conditions.

MW PARTNERSHIPS
Ben at Gorilla Surfaces was very knowledgeable and super helpful during our resurfacing project. Couldn't recommend this team more if you need resurfacing done!
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.
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.

Blackwood Resin-Bound Questions, Answered
It depends on the size and condition of your existing surface and the stone blend you choose. Because we resurface over a sound existing base, you avoid the demolition and disposal costs of a full replacement. The best way to get an accurate figure is a free on-site quote -- there's no obligation.
Yes. We use a UV-stable resin system built for harsh Australian sun, so the finish keeps its colour rather than fading or yellowing -- which matters on Blackwood's exposed foothills driveways and hillside entries.
In most cases, yes -- that's the core advantage of resin-bound. Many Blackwood homes already have an older concrete or aggregate driveway on a sloping block, and if it's structurally sound we resurface straight over it. We assess the base condition during your free quote before confirming scope.
Yes. A properly installed resin-bound surface on a sound base handles everyday residential vehicle traffic, from cars to utes.
Resin-bound uses a flexible binder that's more forgiving of minor ground movement than a rigid concrete slab, so it resists the cracking older Blackwood driveways often develop on sloping, leafy foothills sites. What we can't guarantee is movement in the base underneath -- which is exactly why we assess and sign off your existing surface before we quote.
Most residential driveways are done in around two days from arrival to finish, with light foot traffic possible within hours of completion.
No. The natural stone aggregate gives the surface an inherent texture that meets Australian slip-resistance standards (AS/NZS 4586), making it well suited to pool surrounds and entryways as well as driveways.
