Vuba Easihold 2L Gravel Binder – Rock, Stone Adhesive & Mulch Glue, Dual Bond Tech Ready-to-Use, Pea Gravel & Bark Stabiliser for Landscaping Paths, Patios & Borders 5m² Coverage, 3-Year Protection

Review Update - The company reached out to me after reading my review offering to help, they provided me with support and advice, even replacing the bottle of Easihold that i had received. I resprayed the path again according to the instructions and this time all appears well! The gravel has held much better on this occasion, whilst some areas are still a little loose underfoot the majority of the path is now rock solid. I will leave a few more days and re-spray the loose under foot sections. As a result i am much happier with the finished result - time will tell how long it lasts, however you can not fault the customer care from this company, they were quick and responsive offering solutions and support. 5 star service! We have a small gravel path that leads from our decking to the rear of the garden, inlayed with 600x600 slabs. I was fed up with the gravel being kicked around and ending up on the slab path so i looked for solutions. I ordered this product as it looked like it could solve my problem! You get a decent 5l bottle of what i would describe as watered down PVA glue. I followed the instructions to the letter, a liberal spraying, rake, spray again, leave 36hrs and spray again. Initially i was very pleased with the result, the stones seemed to bond well - however around 6 days later we had rain... and this seemed to destroy the bond between the stones - the majority of my path is now loose again! My stones are all under 20mm and the depth is within the range of application. Surely a bit of rain shouldn't destroy the bond?!

Short review: expensive for what it is. I needed to apply two coats. But it does seem to work where other products have failed. Detailed review: we have decorative gravel borders at the front of the house. Unfortunately neighbours’ cats use this area as an extended litter tray. I am out there every few days scraping the stuff up and it isn’t a pleasant task. Plus I have had to throw away more and more of the gravel over time. I tried numerous cat repellent products, none of it worked, even the ‘extra strength’ compound that smelt nearly as bad as the stuff it was supposed to prevent. Because I’d had to throw so much gravel away, I had it all relaid and was determined not to go through the same cycle again so tried the Vuba solution. Firstly, I think this is very expensive for what it is. A 5 litre drum costs £50, I bet it doesn’t cost them anything like £10 a litre to manufacture. It comes ready to apply, no need to dilute it or anything like that. I used a simple hand-pump garden sprayer to apply, followed the instructions, it was easy to use. No nasty solvent/chemical smell and it was easy to wash off my hands afterwards. Applied first coat in dry conditions, waited 24 hours, it didn’t seem to completely hold, some of the gravel was still loose (this may be because the gravel borders are deep in places). Gave it a second application, waited another 24 hours and this seemed to do it, really strong hold on the shingle this time. It dries with a nice sort of matt varnish effect. It has now been down for a week and it has done the trick, it has bonded the shingle so we’ll that it is solid and now can’t be dug up by the cats and there has not been any mess at all to clear up. Just what I was after. It only remains to be seen how long it lasts when exposed to weather over the course of the year (not sure how it will hold up to baking sun, rain, frost etc but we will see).

Did a brilliant job, we used to bind golden gravel between paving slabs. Very easy to use and apply, didn't do all areas as we expected so will need to order additional binder

Very easy to use. Can be applied in several ways. The gravel looks great & I am hoping it will last. I am planning on using this in a few more places in my garden. It isn’t cheap but it appears to be a very good product.

Absolutely useless! We bought this product to "secure" some golden gravel that we laid at 30mm deep. This is a seating area so not prone to heavy foot traffic. I am meticulous in following instructions for any product that I buy, but the only directions for use on the container is "Spray, Compact, Spray." ??? You have to watch a video for more in depth application methods. I applied 4 coats using a standard 5 ltr garden sprayer in warm weather as stated in the video. In the video they say that two coats would be suffice. I applied 4 coats assuming that it would be more than enough, ensuring that I didn't use too much on the first coat "as directed" and made sure that I binded and compacted the gravel correctly. Initially the result was great, the surface seemed solid and looked fantastic. It was completed for about a week and the weather was lovely. Then came 2 days of heavy rain and everything changed! The rain has just washed all of this product out and we are left with loose gravel again and £60 less in the bank!! However, there was one area that I poured the last of product directly onto and that seems to have survived the downpour. It seems that this is the only way to ensure that this product will hold anything together at all. But, by doing this there is no way that you will get the coverage per square metre that they suggest! They do say on the video that for areas of heavy foot traffic you should mix the stones with the product prior to application, but I am not convinced that it would not still fail in heavy rain. They need to put clearer information on the container. We will not be buying this product again in attempt to repair the damage.

The first one I ordered was not great. It was almost impossible to get the lid off, it was a white lid. When I tried to use a sprayer it kept getting clogged as the liquid was lumpy. As a result I had to order a second one to finish the job. The second one must have been from a different batch. It had a black lid and this time worked perfectly as it said it would.

This product works, sticks the gravel.

I have a small area on my deck that i filled with decorative stones that i purchased from B&Q. The size of the stones varies from 8mm to 18mm. As the area is small, in the region of 1.5m x 1m and the coverage is 1 litre for 1 square meter i though i have ample product for many coats so it may work. Note: i don't wish to work to walk on this area, i just want to stop my kids from picking up the stones and also to make cleanup easier. Basically i want to use my blower to blow off any leaves and pine needles. So, i have nothing in my favour! the stones are two large, not the correct shape and not washed etc. The Resuls: Prep work: Washed 4 bags - 80+ kg and let them dry for a week. 1st coat: After applying the first coat (1.5 litres, with a spray bottle) and waiting 24 hours many of the stones were loose and it was crap! the area was covered with plastic to stop dirt/leaves getting stuck. 2nd coat: Applied another 1 litre and waited another 24 hours. Again area was covered, and it wasn't much better. At this point i was thinking of scrapping the idea and returning the product. Covered the area again and carried on with life. 3rd coat: Went back a few days later and i could see an improvement as the stones have bonded much better! At this point i applied another 1 litre but focused on area's of loose stone and covered again. Came back a few days later and removed the covering. The results are very good. In total it took 3.5 litres + 7 days. I would wait at least 48 hours between coats and use a spray bottle for best results. My Opinion: its done what i wanted, and looks good. Although i don't wish to walk on this area and its purely decorative, i did stand on it and it feels solid! i have been over the area with my blower and brush and the stones didn't move. Once the Shed arrives i will finish off the deck and remove the T&G boards. Now i have another area i would like to tackle but its 8 square meter, if VUBA want to give me another tub i am more than happy to buy the gravel. If this worked on gravel i purchased from B&Q (Blooma White Spar) it will most likely work on anything else up to 20mm. Thank you

Es algo caro pero funciona a medias, no quedan completamente pegadas todas las piedras

Conforme à la description. Aspergé sur les cailloux décoratifs de la terrasse et sur les jardinières . Il restent bien collés. Je ne recommande pas pour une allée en cailloux ou pour des galets ( trop grand).

Werkt perfect en heeft een mooi resultaat

Great product that worked well. But the price more than doubled after a month. Purchased this product in May 2025 for $74.00. Need more went back to do a reorder one month later and the price went up to $174.00 what’s up with that
