Can You Use Easihold on a Driveway? Here's What You Need to Know

If you’ve discovered Easihold and are impressed by its ability to bind loose stones and gravel, you might be wondering—can I use Easihold on a driveway? The short answer is no. Easihold is not designed to withstand the heavy pressure of vehicle traffic, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of options for creating a durable, resin-based driveway surface.

In this blog, we’ll explain exactly why Easihold isn’t suitable for driveways and where you can use it for the best results. Plus, we’ll point you in the right direction if you're looking for a professional driveway resin solution.

What Is Easihold and What Is It Used For?

Easihold is an innovative, water-based stone binder formulated to stabilise loose stones, gravel, and decorative aggregates. It’s made with a high-performance acrylic resin designed specifically for outdoor use in decorative and light foot-traffic areas such as:

  • Garden paths

  • Patios and paved borders

  • Decorative landscaping areas

  • Around water features and flower beds

Unlike other adhesives, Easihold stays clear, flexible, and weatherproof, allowing water to drain through the surface while keeping your stones locked in place.

Why Easihold Should Not Be Used on Driveways

Although Easihold is tough and durable for garden use, it’s not engineered for the high-impact environment of a driveway. Driveways are subject to:

  • The constant weight of parked vehicles

  • Tyre movement, turning, and braking pressure

  • Oil and fuel spills

Easihold simply doesn’t have the load-bearing strength or resistance to withstand these conditions. Using it on a driveway could lead to cracking, surface failure, and loose stones becoming a safety hazard.

What Happens If You Use Easihold on a Driveway?

If you apply Easihold on a surface exposed to vehicles, you’ll likely experience:

  • Premature surface breakdown

  • Stone displacement and surface erosion

  • Cracking and crumbling under pressure

  • Possible safety and maintenance issues

To put it simply—Easihold is not a driveway resin. It’s designed for low-impact, decorative applications, and it performs brilliantly in that space.
