Permeable Driveways
Stone Set's permeable driveways combine aesthetic appeal with functional performance. Our resin-bound stone surfaces allow water infiltration at 103L/sqm/min, reducing urban flooding while maintaining structural integrity. The system resurfaces existing concrete, avoiding excavation costs. Available in 30+ colours, these driveways enhance property value with a modern finish that resists UV degradation and vehicle wear. The 10-year guarantee ensures lasting durability without loose stones.
Concrete Resurfacing
Our resurfacing solution transforms worn concrete without removal. A 16mm layer of resin-bound stone covers cracks and stains, creating seamless finishes that resist erosion. This eco-friendly option reduces landfill waste by 90% compared to replacement. The flexible system accommodates minor substrate movement, making it ideal for patios, footpaths, and commercial floors. Projects complete in 1-2 days with minimal disruption to property access.
Tree Surrounds
Stone Set's tree surrounds balance aesthetics with horticultural needs. The permeable surface allows 103L/sqm/min water flow while preventing soil compaction. Structural soil integration supports root growth without surface heaving. Available in 30+ stone colours, these surrounds eliminate trip hazards from loose mulch while maintaining oxygen exchange. Council-approved installations meet urban landscaping regulations for hard-to-soft surface ratios.
Pool Surrounds
Our pool surrounds combine safety with durability. The textured surface achieves slip resistance ratings while allowing immediate water drainage. Resin formulation resists chlorine and saltwater degradation, maintaining appearance for over a decade. The system eliminates puddling around pool edges, reducing slip risks. Available in smaller stone grades for barefoot comfort, these surrounds remain cooler than traditional paving under Australian sun exposure.
Rooftop Paving
Stone Set's rooftop system secures loose gravel permanently using food-grade resin. This prevents wind displacement and bird-related damage to glass canopies below. The permeable layer maintains waterproof membrane protection while allowing vapour release. Available in UV-stable colours, the system reduces urban heat island effect through reflective surfaces. Installation takes 1-2 days without requiring netting or structural modifications to existing rooftops.
Questions
What is permeable paving and how does it work?
Permeable paving allows water to penetrate through stoneSet's resin-bound surface into the ground below. This reduces flooding by enabling rainwater to soak naturally into the soil rather than running off into stormwater systems.
How does permeable paving reduce flooding risks?
StoneSet's permeable surfaces have voids between stones that allow water to drain at 103L/sqm/min. This mimics natural infiltration, reducing surface water accumulation and easing pressure on urban drainage systems.
Are StoneSet products environmentally friendly?
Yes. Our permeable systems reduce stormwater runoff, use locally-sourced natural stone, and avoid landfill waste by resurfacing existing concrete. They also support groundwater recharge and tree health.
Can StoneSet be used for pool surrounds?
Yes. Our textured surfaces provide slip resistance while allowing water drainage. The material resists chlorine/saltwater damage and remains cooler than concrete, making it ideal for pool areas.
What maintenance is required for permeable paving?
StoneSet requires minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing maintain permeability. The 10-year guarantee ensures no loose stones, eliminating re-grouting needs.
Do you offer DIY installation options?
Yes. We supply gravel binder kits and specialist tools for DIY projects. Our training resources guide homeowners through preparation and application processes for smaller areas.

Report
Our driveway was originally the traditional pebblecrete ,15 -20 mm thick layer ,over a concrete slab base. The pebblecrete had cracked and bubbled in a number of places and we researched a number of alternative new surface toppings. StoneSet visited our site and provided a quote for the works. We found the quote on the expensive side but on the basis of the 10 year warranty we agreed to proceed. The construction team visited site and we discussed the edge and construction details and chose the Cudgee Beach sample. The construction team planned and professionally installed the new driveway finish

We selected Stoneset to coat and seal our driveway which was a patchwork of old and new concrete. Adrian and the team did an amazing job with the install and we couldn't be happier with the result. I have noticed quite a few pedestrians to get almost on their hands and knees to get a closer look.

Tori and the team at StoneSet did an incredible job on our tricky/slippery driveway. We were at the point thinking we were going to have to remove the 50m2+ of concrete (only 6 years old) to get something safe and effective, but the StoneSet product and installation team changed all of that. Driveway out of action for 24hrs, much better than 1 month!! Thanks again.

We have recently had a pathway around our home resurfaced in the StoneSet product. We are very happy with the product and our path looks better then ever. We have had very positive comments from our friends and family who have seen our new pathway. I would also like to thank Adrian and the team who arrived well before and on time to start the job at 7am. We are really impressed at how professional Adrian and his team are. They kept their work area clean and tidy at all times during the day. Their dedication to their work really reflects in the job that they completed at our home and the new StonesSet
