StoneSet Driveway Resurfacing – Permeable Paving
As an approved installer and reseller of StoneSet, we help homeowners and businesses resurface tired, cracked driveways without the cost and mess of a full replacement. If you’re weighing up driveway resurfacing options, permeable paving is worth understanding — it can transform an old concrete surface without ripping it out.
What is StoneSet?
StoneSet is a resin-bound permeable paving system made from natural stone or recycled glass, applied directly over an existing driveway to give instant drainage and a premium finish. Here’s what our clients value about it:
- Permeability: Water flows straight through instead of pooling on the surface, whether it’s a home driveway or a commercial car park. That means fewer puddles and a lower flood risk after heavy rain.
- Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled stone or glass, it’s a sustainable option that adds value without adding waste.
- Safety First: The slip-resistant surface suits driveways, footpaths and public spaces alike.
- Tree-Friendly: Unlike solid concrete or asphalt, it lets water and air reach tree roots, so established trees aren’t put at risk.
- Low Maintenance: The fully porous, resin-bound surface needs very little upkeep once it’s installed.
- Australian Made: It’s manufactured locally and trusted by councils, schools, businesses and homeowners across the country.
Why Choose StoneSet for Driveway Resurfacing?
It combines the look of natural stone with genuine durability, holding up over years of use without constant upkeep, and it’s cost-effective across a wide range of residential and commercial applications.

StoneSet vs. Full Replacement: Saving Money on Demolition
When a driveway is cracked or tired-looking, most homeowners assume the only fix is to rip it out and start again. That’s usually a bigger job than it needs to be. StoneSet works as an overlay, resurfacing the existing slab instead of replacing it, which cuts out the most expensive and disruptive parts of a full replacement.
Why an Overlay Saves You Thousands
A traditional driveway replacement involves demolition, excavation, and disposal. An overlay skips all three:
- Eliminate Skip Bin Fees: Disposing of a full concrete driveway can mean multiple heavy-duty skip bins. Since the old surface stays in place, there’s no waste to remove and no disposal levies to pay.
- No Heavy Jackhammering: Traditional demolition means jackhammering, dust and noise. An overlay goes straight over your existing concrete or asphalt, saving days of labour and machinery hire.
- Reduced Site Disturbance: With no excavation, there’s no risk of hitting underground pipes or damaging nearby tree roots, so your landscaping stays intact.
Using your existing driveway as the base, StoneSet delivers a fully permeable stone finish for a fraction of what a rip-and-replace job would cost.
Looking to avoid the mess and cost of demolition? Contact Diamond Grind today to see if your driveway is a candidate for a StoneSet overlay.
The 24-Hour Transformation: From Tired Concrete to Premium Stone
