From pedestrian walkways, driveways and landscaped trails to playgrounds, public spaces, sports courts and even equestrian facilities, external surfaces are varied in their requirements.

Car parks, driveways and drop-off areas take the brunt of daily foot and wheeled traffic, as well as whatever the weather brings, but still need to look sharp. The right surfaces for outdoor spaces – especially those that will experience wheeled traffic – offer high performance without compromising on style.

Paths and courtyards guide flow, set rhythm and frame the surrounding landscape. Whether urban or natural, they should feel intuitive, safe and grounded in their setting. Well-considered surfacing supports all-season movement while reducing erosion, standing water and surface wear.

Playgrounds and early years environments call for vibrant, impact-absorbing surfaces that can handle real-world use, while creating an engaging, inspiring impression. Spaces designed for movement demand more from the ground up. Whether it’s fast footwork or powerful hoof-fall, the surface has to support performance, protect users and stay resilient.
