Professionally installed resin bound driveways require minimal maintenance, however, if they have been incorrectly installed they may require more maintenance.
If your resin bound surface has been installed on a porous subbase, this could be open grade tarmac, Vuba Mac or permeable concrete, moss and algae will be very unlikely to grow. However, if your resin-bound driveway has been installed on concrete or tarmac without substantial drainage, you may discover issues later down the line with your resin-bound surface becoming green, the surface covered in moss or even weeds. This is due to your resin bound surface being porous and the subbase that your resin has been laid on not being porous, so rain water stagnates and doesn't drain away correctly between the subbase and your resin bound surface making your resin driveway mossy and covered in algae.
In this picture, you can see how this resin-bound driveway has become very mossy and overgrown over the years. This is because the surface was laid on a concrete base with poor drainage, causing the resin surface to absorb water and not allowing rain water to drain away. Over time, this leads to moss and weed growth within the surface, making it much harder to maintain and can cause further issues down the line.
