Resin bound stone is a seamless, permeable surface made by blending natural stone or marble with a clear, high-strength resin, then troweling it over concrete. McKinnon's Stone Bond is our proprietary resin bound stone system — manufactured in the USA and sold direct to you, whether you're a homeowner doing it yourself or a contractor installing for clients.
Use Stone Bond to resurface and protect almost any concrete: pool decks, patios, lanais, porches, driveways, walkways, garages, and entryways. It bonds to uneven or worn concrete, lets water drain through instead of pooling, and cures into a hard, UV-stable surface that lasts for years.
Unlike most resin bound suppliers, we don't sell regional
“territories” or make you join a program to purchase. You see the price, you
buy the product, you get the support — homeowner or pro.
Cost depends on three things: the square footage, the stone blend you choose, and whether you install it yourself or hire a contractor. DIY material cost is dramatically lower than a fully installed quote because you're skipping labor. Enter your project size in the calculator below for an exact material estimate — no “request a quote” wall, no login required to see what you'll pay.
Stone Bond comes in a wide range of natural blends. Browse the swatches below — Apache, Black Diamond, Caramel, Black Pearl, Coral, Dark Brown, Grey Blend, Multicolor Flint, Ozark, Pearl, Mini Pearl, and Razorback Red — and order the exact blend that matches your project.
Resin bound stone is a permanent, permeable surface made by mixing natural stone with a clear resin and troweling it over concrete, or troweling it thicker on its own. It creates an extremely durable, seamless, slip-resistant finish for driveways, patios, porches, steps and pool decks that lets water drain through.
Yes. Resin bound stone is a DIY-friendly system. McKinnon Materials sells Stone Bond kits direct to homeowners with installation guides and videos — no contractor, license, or program membership required.
No. McKinnon Materials sells resin bound stone direct to anyone — homeowners and contractors alike. We do not sell regional territories, charge licensing fees, or hide pricing behind an account login.
The cost depends on square footage, the stone blend, and whether you DIY or hire an installer. Buying a kit and installing it yourself is the lowest-cost option because it removes labor. Use the coverage calculator for an exact material price.
Yes. Because the stones are bound with gaps between them, water passes through the surface and follows your existing drainage instead of pooling — which is why it's popular around pools and patios.
Yes. Due to the permeability, it help mitigate runoff, positively reducing erosion in areas in which Stone Bond is applied. Stone Bond allows rain water to return to the local water table, instead of runoff being redirected to collection points further away. This helps soil stay healthy and local flora and fauna benefit from that.
Resin bound stone is mixed in a batch and troweled smooth, creating a flat, permeable surface. Resin bonded stone is scattered onto a resin-coated base, leaving a rougher, non-permeable, loose-textured finish. Stone Bond is a resin bound system.
Properly installed and sealed, a resin bound stone surface lasts many years. Resealing periodically restores the finish and extends its life — McKinnon provides resealing instructions for Stone Bond.
