SKU GLK-CG


Our resin for stabilizing pea gravel is designed to secure gravel, creating a durable and porous surface that adapts effortlessly to various applications and settings. This binder effectively bonds different types of gravel, resulting in a cohesive and stable surface that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional.

Material Composition
The binder is formulated with polyurethane, a material renowned for its exceptional durability and high performance. This composition ensures that the binder withstands environmental stresses and regular use, maintaining its effectiveness over time.

Advantages Over Alternatives
By utilizing polyurethane, this product offers significant advantages over more economical, water-based gravel binders. Polyurethane binders exhibit superior resilience and maintain their structural integrity for extended periods, making them ideal for areas with frequent foot or vehicular traffic where longevity and minimal maintenance are essential. Unlike water-based binders, which require frequent reapplication due to their lower strength, this binder provides a durable, long-lasting solution. It is particularly well-suited for constructing pathways, driveways, and other high-traffic zones where enduring quality and reliability are critical.

Gravel-Lok: A Polyurethane-Based Gravel Binder
Why it matters: Polyurethane binders offer significantly better long-term performance compared to low-cost water-based gravel binders. Additionally, water-based binders lack the strength needed for regular foot or vehicular traffic, necessitating frequent re-application, whereas polyurethane binders deliver a more durable and reliable solution.


Driveway Application Note:
Gravel-Lok can be used on driveways, however the cost is typically much higher than pouring asphalt or concrete. Gravel-Lok cannot be applied to an existing driveway surface as additional underground support products are required. Regular re-application is often required annually to keep the surface in good condition.

💡 Tips:
  • Stone selection: Use washed and cleaned angular stones — angular edges interlock better for durability, and clean stones ensure proper bonding.
  • Minimum depth: Depth should be at least 3× your stone size (e.g. ½" stones → 1.5" minimum depth).
  • Light-colored stones? Use Clear formula — it contains UV additives and won't discolor your stones.
  • Mix ratio: Do not exceed 20–24 oz of liquid per 5-gallon bucket of stones (~50 lbs). Too much liquid causes foaming.
  • ⚠️ Installing over existing concrete? Add a roll coat to the concrete and while it is wet add the mixed Gravel-Lok with gravel to help it stick to the concrete.

Coverage rates — Mix: 1" = 37.2 SF/gal · 1.5" = 24.8 SF/gal · 2" = 18.6 SF/gal · Roll coat = 90 SF/gal  |  Pour: 1 light pour = 19 SF/gal · 2 light pours = 14 SF/gal.

Gravel‑Lok vs Water‑Based Binder — Top 5 Reasons

Top 5 Reasons to Use Gravel‑Lok Over Less-Expensive Water‑Based Binders

01 Superior Strength & Durability

Gravel‑Lok’s high‑performance (non‑water‑based) binder locks aggregates together more effectively than low‑cost water‑based options. The result is a tough, resilient surface that withstands heavier pedestrian and light vehicle traffic without breaking down, cracking, or loosening.

02 True Permeability

Cheaper water‑based binders can clog or seal the surface, reducing infiltration. Gravel‑Lok maintains high porosity and permeability so stormwater passes through, reducing puddling and runoff and helping with LEED and EPA Phase II stormwater goals.

03 Long‑Term Cost Efficiency

Initial costs are offset by far less maintenance and re‑application. Low‑grade binders degrade with UV, freeze‑thaw cycles, and use—leading to frequent repairs. Gravel‑Lok’s longevity makes it more cost‑effective over the life of the installation.

04 Environmental & Aesthetic Benefits

VOC‑free and designed to preserve the natural stone look while keeping it in place. Water‑based binders often leave a cloudy film, discolor, or fail to hold gravel—causing messy, uneven surfaces. Gravel‑Lok enhances both appearance and function.

05 Proven Track Record & Versatility

Trusted across landscape, municipal, and commercial installs—from paths and patios to tree surrounds and drainage. Performs across climates and use‑cases, offering the reliability that cheap alternatives can’t match.
