Footpaths and cycle paths
Resin footpaths and cycle paths are resin bound surfaces laid on a compacted base for schools, parks, housing estates and public spaces. They give a smooth, permeable, natural-looking route that suits wheelchairs, buggies and bikes.

How footpaths and cycle paths work
For shared paths the base and edges do most of the work. A firm, well-drained base and robust edging stop the surface breaking up where mowers and maintenance vehicles cross.
Natural buff blends sit well in green spaces, and the permeable build keeps paths free of puddles.
