Resin Bound Stone
Surfaces That Look Right and Stay Clean
Resin bound stone installation bringing modern, permeable surfacing to Bozeman homes and outdoor spaces.
If you live in Bozeman and want a driveway or patio that stays free of puddles after rain and looks sharp year-round, resin bound stone gives you a seamless, natural surface that water moves straight through. You get the texture and color of stone embedded in a UV-stable resin that holds up in Montana weather without cracking or letting weeds push through the joints.
StoneCrete applies this permeable system by mixing natural stone aggregates with clear resin, then troweling it smoothly over a prepared base to create a solid, drainable layer. The finished surface works well for driveways, walkways, patios, and pool surrounds, and you can choose from different stone blends to match your home or landscape. Because the system drains vertically, runoff decreases and standing water disappears, which helps in areas around Bozeman where drainage matters during snowmelt and storm events.

How the Surface Gets Built and What Keeps It Working
The installation starts with preparing a stable, compacted base, then mixing the stone and resin on-site before spreading and smoothing it to your desired thickness. In Bozeman, the base needs proper grading so meltwater and rain move through the resin layer and into the ground without pooling or shifting the surface.
Once cured, you will notice the surface stays firm underfoot, resists staining from oil or dirt, and requires only occasional sweeping or rinsing to keep it looking new. The resin holds the stones in place without loose gravel, so nothing migrates into landscaping or gets tracked indoors.
The system works best on flat to gently sloped areas and is not recommended over unstable soil or areas with heavy root growth. StoneCrete evaluates your site conditions and base requirements before installation to make sure the surface performs correctly and drains as designed.
We Answer These Before Most Projects Start
Homeowners in Bozeman usually ask about color options, how the surface handles snow removal, and how long it takes before they can walk or drive on it.
What stone colors and blends are available?
You can choose from natural tones like granite grays, tans, and earth blends, or brighter decorative stones depending on the look you want. StoneCrete shows samples during planning so you see exactly what the finished surface will look like.
How does the surface handle snow and ice removal?
You can shovel, plow, or use snow blowers on resin bound stone without damaging the surface. Salt and de-icers are safe to use and will not degrade the resin or loosen the stones.
How long before we can use the surface after installation?
The surface typically cures enough for foot traffic within 24 hours and full vehicle use within 48 to 72 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. StoneCrete gives you specific timing based on conditions during your install.
What maintenance does the surface need over time?
You only need to sweep off debris and rinse it occasionally with a hose. The resin prevents weed growth and the stones stay locked in place, so there is no raking or refilling required.
Why does permeability matter for driveways and patios?
Water drains straight through instead of running off into yards or pooling on the surface, which reduces erosion, keeps walkways safer, and helps manage stormwater naturally. In Bozeman, this also helps during spring melt when runoff increases.
StoneCrete installs resin bound stone across Bozeman for homeowners who want a cleaner, longer-lasting alternative to gravel or traditional paving, and the permeable design fits well in areas where drainage and curb appeal both matter.
