Yes. Resin bound stone can often be installed directly over existing concrete, making it an excellent concrete resurfacing option for an aging, stained, cracked, or outdated driveway, patio, pool deck, walkway, porch, or other concrete surface—without the expense and disruption of completely tearing out and replacing the slab.

The condition of the existing concrete matters. Before installing Resin Rock, we evaluate the slab for cracking, movement, settling, heaving, spalling, hollow areas, drainage problems, and overall structural condition. Stable cracks and damaged areas can often be properly repaired and prepared before the resin bound stone overlay is installed. Concrete with significant structural movement may require additional repair or may not be a good candidate for an overlay.

Surface preparation is one of the most important parts of a successful resin bound stone installation. Depending on the condition of the concrete, preparation may include cleaning and grinding the surface, repairing cracks or damaged areas, addressing joints and transitions, and using reinforcement where appropriate before the natural stone and resin system is hand-troweled over the prepared surface.

This is one of the reasons we love Resin Rock concrete resurfacing. Structurally sound concrete doesn't necessarily need to be demolished simply because it's cracked, stained, weathered, or unattractive. With proper preparation, an old concrete surface can be transformed into a seamless, durable natural stone finish with an entirely new look.

This is especially important in Boise and the Treasure Valley, where concrete is exposed to hot summers, freezing winter temperatures, moisture, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. We evaluate every project individually and recommend a Resin Rock overlay only when we believe the existing concrete is a suitable candidate.

Before spending the money to tear out and replace old or cracked concrete, let us take a look. It may be an excellent candidate for resurfacing instead.
