Apply for a Trade AccountEasihold 5L is a water-based gravel binder designed to lock loose decorative stones in place while maintaining permeability. It creates a stable, low-maintenance surface suitable for light foot traffic, garden paths, borders and decorative gravel areas.
Unlike traditional gravel resin systems used for resin bound gravel installations, Easihold is a single-component pour, spray or mix-in solution. It is designed for ease of use rather than heavy-duty structural performance.
For best results, two applications are recommended when using the Pour-On or Spray-On methods.
Mix thoroughly with clean, dry stone until evenly coated. Lay to a maximum bonded depth of 20mm onto a permeable, compacted base. Compact flat using a trowel or wooden planks. This method is recommended for areas receiving walking traffic.
Apply evenly using a watering can with a steady rose head. Allows good penetration through the gravel layer. Suitable for light foot traffic areas.
Apply using an airless sprayer. Provides larger coverage but reduced penetration. Best suited for decorative applications only.
Aggregates outside these ranges may reduce bond strength due to limited contact points.
As Easihold is water-based, prolonged submersion (over 24 hours) may cause de-bonding.
Expected lifespan is typically 12–24 months depending on exposure and traffic levels. Surfaces can be topped up as required.

No. Easihold is a water-based gravel binder designed to stabilise loose decorative stone. It works by coating and bonding the surface layer of gravel to reduce movement while keeping the area permeable.
It is not the same as a resin bound gravel system. Resin bound installations use a two-part polyurethane resin mixed with aggregate and laid at greater depths to create a structurally robust surface suitable for heavier foot traffic, patios and driveways.
Easihold is intended for light foot traffic only, such as garden paths, borders and decorative areas. It should not be considered a structural alternative to resin bound gravel.
No. Easihold gravel binder is not suitable for driveways or any area subject to vehicle traffic.
It is designed to stabilise decorative gravel in pedestrian areas only. Vehicle loads introduce shear forces, turning stress and point loading that exceed the performance capability of a water-based gravel glue system.
For driveways, a properly installed resin bound gravel system using a heavy-duty polyurethane resin and suitable sub-base construction is required. Easihold is best used for paths, borders, tree surrounds and areas where stone migration needs to be controlled without creating a fully rigid surface.
The strongest method of application is the mix-in method.
Mix Easihold thoroughly with clean, dry stone at approximately 1 part binder to 25 parts stone by volume. Ensure the aggregate is evenly coated but not saturated. Lay the treated stone onto a permeable, compacted base to a maximum bonded depth of 20mm.
Compact the surface flat using a trowel or wooden boards. A smooth, level finish improves durability under foot traffic, as protruding stones can create weak points.
Allow 48–72 hours of warm, dry conditions for curing. Avoid rain, frost, dew or humidity above 90% during the drying phase, as moisture can dilute the binder and reduce bond strength.
