Hi Mark
There are basically two ways it is laid first one the cheapest resin spread over the area and stones are scattered on top.
The second the stones are mixed with the resin and then laid using a float similar screed in a floor.
The two links below should explain most to you.
Should be laying one my self pretty soon just waiting the customer to contact me.

All the best

I did one last year, although the fsc got it very clean the draining properties of the material (ie it lets water through it onto to concrete base and runs to the lowast level) a buff coulor, filter the dedris and let a dark 8 inch wide line of dirt embedded in the material along the lowest part of the fsc passes.
This was very difficult to get out it took hours of rincing and even the I could still see it. After a couple of months the weather naturally blended it all back in.

This was done for a contractor to resael the surface (don't ask its a very special seal that lets the water drain through) in the end he didn't re sael it as this would lock the dark stains in
