Domestic Patio & Driveway

Introduction

Ace Resin was first introduced to homeowners at Across the Pond, a renowned hardscapes firm known for bringing innovative products from around the world. True to their reputation, Across the Pond recently featured Ace Resin as their latest cutting-edge offering.

Background

Mr. and Mrs. Bogma, local homeowners, faced a common problem: an old, cracked, and unattractive pattern-imprinted concrete patio that had become a major eyesore in their backyard. Not only was the concrete unsightly, but it had also developed into a trip hazard, raising concerns about safety.

Initially, they believed their only option was to remove the existing concrete and pour a new patio—an idea they found disruptive and unappealing.

Solution

Their interest was piqued when they encountered Ace Resin at Across the Pond. At first, they were drawn to the product’s aesthetic appeal, but after speaking with the Ace Resin team, they realized it could provide a practical solution as well.

Ace Resin’s experts recommended installing the new surface directly over the existing concrete. To address concerns about potential cracking, they suggested using Ace ResiMesh, a crack reduction membrane specifically designed for resin surfaces. This membrane was applied directly onto the old concrete, significantly reducing the risk of reflective cracking into the new surface. The Ace Resin surfacing was then applied on top, completing the transformation in just a few hours.

By collaborating closely with Ace Resin, the homeowners had the opportunity to design a custom blend of stone that perfectly complements their landscape and architectural style, ensuring the final result matched their vision exactly.

Results

The result was a completely revitalized patio, free of cracks and hazards, and with a stunning new look. The homeowners were so impressed with the outcome that they decided to give their driveway the same treatment. The entire project not only improved the safety and aesthetics of their outdoor spaces but also elevated the overall appeal of their home.
