Flexi-Pave & Tree Pit Surfacing

Permeable Resin-Rubber Surfacing for Urban Environments

Platinum 3Sixty specialise in the installation of Flexi-Pave and resin-bound rubber surfacing for tree pits, public realm projects and high-footfall pedestrian areas. As urban landscaping demands increase and cities expand green infrastructure, flexible permeable surfacing has become essential for protecting tree roots, allowing natural drainage and maintaining safe, accessible walkways.

Flexi-Pave is a unique blend of recycled rubber granules and a high-performance resin binder, creating a durable, flexible and fully porous surface. It is engineered specifically for areas where conventional paving fails due to root movement, ground expansion or heavy pedestrian use. By allowing water and air to move freely, the system supports healthier tree growth while reducing surface water and eliminating muddy or uneven tree pits.

Why Flexi-Pave?

Traditional tree pits are prone to erosion, soil displacement and trip hazards, often requiring frequent maintenance. Flexi-Pave provides a long-term solution that is strong enough for foot traffic but flexible enough to accommodate natural root expansion without cracking or lifting.

• Fully permeable — promotes natural water infiltration and root health
• Highly durable rubberised surface resistant to cracking
• Reduces trip hazards and improves pedestrian safety
• Environmentally sustainable — made using recycled rubber
• Flexible material accommodates natural ground and root movement
• Low-maintenance and long-lasting performance

Applications for Flexi-Pave & Resin-Rubber Surfacing

Our permeable surfacing systems are used extensively in urban developments, public realm projects and landscaped environments where traditional surfacing fails or cannot meet drainage requirements.

• Tree pits and street tree protection
• Public realm pedestrian areas
• Footways and shared-use paths
• Parks, gardens and landscaped zones
• Cycleways and green infrastructure routes
• Flood mitigation and SUDS-compliant areas

Permeability & SUDS Compliance

Flexi-Pave provides exceptional permeability, allowing thousands of litres of water per hour to pass through the surface. This makes it ideal for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS), reducing surface runoff and contributing to flood risk mitigation. The material prevents soil compaction around tree roots, ensuring adequate oxygen transfer and healthier long-term growth.

Why Councils & Developers Choose Platinum 3Sixty

Platinum 3Sixty deliver high-quality resin-rubber surfacing that meets stringent durability, safety and aesthetic requirements. Our installation teams are experienced in handling complex public realm environments, managing pedestrian interfaces, and ensuring long-lasting surface performance even in high-use zones.

We work closely with landscape architects, local authorities and contractors to design and install systems that align with environmental goals, access requirements and long-term maintenance strategies. The result is a resilient surface that enhances urban tree management while improving public safety and overall streetscape quality.
