Resin bonded gravel drives

Has anyone experiance of resin bonded gravel drives. This year I'll be
laying a driveway to the house, and although the base will be mass
concrete want a better top surface. We have extensive pea beach
elsewhere, but it gets everywhere - sticks in shoes and ends up in the
house, so wondered if resin bonded shingle would be the way to go. Is
it possible to DIY or how's it done?
Pea gravel is always a mistake. I went for 20mm chippings and have very
little problem with it wandering. The larger size means it does not get
picked up in shoes or tyres and chippings have sharp edges, so tend to lock
themselves in place better than rounded gravel. I have seen bonded gravel
surfacing in catalogues, but the prices were horrendous.
