Hard Landscaping

Hard Landscaping

Hard landscaping refers to projects within grounds maintenance that incorporate hard material into your grounds. This can include paved areas, driveways, retaining walls, sleeper walls, stairs, walkways, and any other landscaping made up of hard-wearing materials such as wood, stone, and concrete, as opposed to soft landscaping, the horticultural domain of a landscape i.e. plants, trees, hedging, grass etc.

Car parks and footpaths

As the nation’s leading surfacing specialists, we have the capability to take on full programmes of asphalt surfacing for entire car parks, forecourts, schools and public spaces. Specialist coatings for surfaces range from waterproofing systems, such as resin coatings and mastic asphalt to decorative paving and applied media enhancing the look of your surface, through to creative and colourful surfacing systems. We also provide specialist EV charging services and can provide competitive comparison quotes to the tightest of specifications.

Our guaranteed long-lasting pothole repairs extend the life of roads and pathways, delaying expensive replacement costs. Car park line marking saves both time and money while creating high visibility lines that will brighten up a car park or other spaces that require zone demarcation. We can also arrange installation of resin-bonded gravel and artificial grass to complement car parks with hard-wearing, all-season surfaces. We can also install a wide range of traffic signage and mirrors suited for use in industrial estates, car parks and on private traffic routes.

Car parks need looking after throughout the year and OUTCO capabilities include all the services required to ensure that they fully comply with legislation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
