Rubber-Gravel mix combines rubber's flexibility with the robustness and visual appeal of natural stone, creating a durable, attractive mix with excellent grip.
Suitable for:
Rubber-Gravel Mix (SBRA) is a blend of recycled rubber and natural aggregate with a resin binder to offer a seamless, porous, low maintenance bound surface for pedestrian pathways, cycle tracks, golf courses, patios, courtyards and tree pits.
It can be used to even out undulating ground beneath products like wetpour and bound gravel, as a tarmac replacement on hard-to reach areas such as rooftops, or as a stand-alone surface for pathways and bridleways.

FAQ's
Q. What are the main advantages of rubber-gravel surfacing when compared to resin bound gravel?
A. Typically, rubber-gravel mix is lower cost, more porous and provides enhanced slip resistance. The rubber element is from recycled sources and the overall feel is soft underfoot, making it a much more appealing pathway solution.
Q. Does rubber-gravel mix require maintenance?
A. Rubber-gravel mix should be swept regularly to avoid a build-up of debris, resulting in the surface becoming less porous. Periodic jet washing is also recommended using a low-pressure setting.
Q. Will there be any changes to the rubber-gravel mix during extreme weather?
A. The rubber-gravel mix is highly porous, so water will run through the surface and into the ground. This prevents the water from pooling on top of the surface.
Q. What temperature should rubber-gravel mix be laid in?
A. The air temperature should be a minimum of 5 degrees and the surface temperature should be a minimum of 3 degrees above dew point (the temperature at which condensations forms).
Q. What can rubber-gravel mix be laid onto?
A. Rubber-gravel mix can be installed onto compacted MOT type 1 stone, concrete or asphalt. Thickness varies depending on the subbase type to ensure adequate strength.
Q. Can vehicles be driven on rubber-gravel mix?
A. Rubber-gravel mix can accommodate light weight vehicles travelling across the surface (e.g. golf buggies), and is suitable for bicycle traffic. It is not suitable for regular motorised vehicle use.
Q. How long will the rubber-gravel mix last for?
A. This will depend on how heavily it will be used and how it is maintained. DCM have been back on sites over 10 years old where the rubber-gravel surfacing is still in good condition.
Q. Can rubber-gravel mix be laid in the rain?
A. Unfortunately, rubber-gravel mix can only be installed in dry weather conditions.
