Why Resin Bound Surfacing Is the Perfect Solution for Tree Pits

Urban landscapes and green spaces play a vital role in modern cities — providing beauty, shade, air purification, and biodiversity. But one common challenge in urban design is how to surface around trees in a way that supports healthy growth, looks attractive, and remains safe and practical for pedestrians.

This is exactly where resin bound surfacing stands out — making it the perfect solution for tree pits in public spaces, streetscapes, and commercial developments.

Here’s why more landscape architects and city planners are choosing Resin Rock’s resin bound systems for this essential application:

1. Fully Permeable = Healthy Trees

Tree roots need oxygen and water to thrive — yet many traditional materials like concrete or rubber mats suffocate the roots and prevent proper drainage.

Resin bound surfaces are fully permeable, allowing rainwater to pass through the surface and into the soil below. This supports healthier, stronger trees — helping cities meet their green infrastructure and sustainability goals.

2. No Weed Growth, No Tripping Hazards

Loose gravel or open-soil tree pits often lead to:

❌ Unsightly weed growth
❌ Accumulated debris
❌ Muddy surfaces
❌ Tripping hazards for pedestrians

Resin Rock’s seamless resin bound surface eliminates these problems, providing a clean, low-maintenance finish that’s safe for foot traffic — ideal for busy pedestrian zones.

3. Durable & Crack-Resistant

Unlike asphalt or concrete, which can crack and break apart over time (especially when tree roots expand), resin bound systems offer flexibility and crack resistance. The surface can move slightly with the tree’s natural growth, preventing unsightly damage and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

4. Customizable for Any Design

Resin bound surfacing comes in a wide range of colors — over 30+ blends from Resin Rock — meaning you can easily match or enhance any streetscape design. Whether for historic city centers, modern retail spaces, or public parks, the finish can be fully customized to suit the environment.

5. Long-Lasting & Low Maintenance

For cities and property owners, maintenance is always a key concern. Resin Rock’s resin bound surfaces for tree pits require minimal upkeep, won’t loosen over time, and maintain their appearance for many years — making them a smart, cost-effective choice.
