Garden areas are an important part of villas, apartment complexes and gated communities. Pathways, seating areas, landscaped zones and pedestrian spaces are regularly exposed to rainwater, moisture, foot traffic, soil, dirt and changing weather conditions. Over time, these conditions can affect conventional outdoor surfaces, resulting in water accumulation, staining, cracking, surface wear and deterioration.
POLiBOUND™ Stone Carpet Surfacing provides a permeable and decorative surfacing option for gardens and landscaped outdoor areas. The system combines selected natural stone aggregates with a high-performance resin to create a seamless surface designed for outdoor applications.
Garden Surfaces Exposed to Rain and Moisture
Garden pathways and outdoor pedestrian areas experience repeated exposure to rainwater. When water cannot drain efficiently, it may accumulate on the surface and create muddy or slippery areas, particularly around landscaped zones.
POLiBOUND™ uses a permeable surfacing construction in which the bonded natural aggregates create interconnected voids. These openings allow rainwater to move through the surface towards the underlying drainage or ground layers, subject to the site design and substrate conditions.
This approach can help reduce surface water accumulation and improve rainwater movement across landscaped areas.
The permeable construction can:
- Facilitate rainwater drainage
- Reduce surface water accumulation
- Minimise waterlogging
- Reduce runoff from paved garden areas
- Support groundwater recharge where site conditions permit
- Maintain a continuous walking surface
Suitable for Garden Pathways
Garden pathways need to provide comfortable pedestrian movement while blending with the surrounding landscape. Concrete, tiles and other conventional finishes can create visually distinct paved areas, whereas a natural aggregate surface can provide a more integrated appearance.
