Trailflex Case Study: Surrey County Council Pathway Transformation
Project Overview
The Trailflex pathway project for Surrey County Council demonstrates our ability to transform overgrown and inaccessible routes into safe, sustainable, and visually appealing pathways. This 226m² pathway was designed to improve accessibility for local residents, providing a durable, low-maintenance solution that supports Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).

Challenges and Solutions
The pathway was initially in a state of disrepair, with overgrown vegetation and uneven, muddy terrain making it inaccessible. Surrey County Council carried out the site clearance and base preparation, ensuring the area was ready for the Trailflex installation.
Our role was to deliver a high-quality installation of the Trailflex system. Key strategies included:
- Precision Installation: Our skilled team worked efficiently to lay the Trailflex surface, ensuring a smooth, non-slip finish while adhering to the highest standards of quality.
- Attention to Detail: The Amber-coloured finish was applied with care, enhancing the visual appeal and ensuring a seamless integration with the surrounding environment.
Benefits of Trailflex Surfacing
- Enhanced Accessibility: The new pathway provides a safe, smooth surface, making it easier for residents to navigate the area.
- Sustainable Design: The Trailflex system’s permeability allows for effective water management, reducing the risk of flooding and pooling.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The Amber finish adds a warm, inviting touch to the pathway, blending harmoniously with the surroundings.
Community Impact
The transformation has been highly praised by local stakeholders. Mary-Ann from Surrey County Council shared her positive feedback:
“The surface really does look great and is nice to walk on. Our SUDS team were very impressed, and the local councillor, who is also the MP, picked it up on her Facebook feed.”
The project has not only improved accessibility but has also created a safer and more enjoyable environment for the community.
Conclusion
The Surrey County Council pathway project highlights the versatility and effectiveness of Trailflex in addressing accessibility and environmental challenges. By transforming a neglected, overgrown area into a functional and visually appealing pathway, we have provided a long-lasting solution that supports community engagement and sustainable urban development.
