Okay, so I'm thinking about tackling a driveway resurfacing project myself to save some money. I've seen a lot of ads for these DIY driveway kits, especially the ones that create a resin-bound surface. Has anyone here actually used one of these kits? I'm a fairly handy person, I've done landscaping and some basic construction things around the house, but a driveway seems like a pretty big commitment. Was it easy to mix the materials? Did you need any special tools? And most importantly, did it actually look good in the end, or did it scream "DIY disaster"? Any advice or warnings greatly appreciated!

I actually did a small pathway using the resin bound gravel system in my backyard last summer. It was my first time attempting something like that, but, overall, I'd say it was a positive experience. The key is definitely in the preparation of the base – make sure it's solid and level before you start pouring anything!. I saw a few companies online that sell the necessary materials, and some sell Diy Kits with everything included that really caught my eye. Mixing the resin and aggregate was pretty straightforward, just follow the instructions carefully. It's definitely doable if you're patient and take your time!
