Lay Roads & Surroundings —Driveways That Hug the Terrain
Access matters as much as the house. Click a few points and Builder lays a road that hugs the terrain — up the slope, round the flowerbed, to the garage. Pave it from the finishing sets: block stretcher or herringbone, brick pavers, granite setts, sawn slabs, riven flagstone, large porcelain, grass pavers, cobbles, crazy paving, stepping stones — or resin gravel, hoggin, slate chip, bark, decking and tarmac. Beyond the plot, the horizon surround closes the world.
How it works — in the app
Click the route
Points along the way — the road hugs the terrain between them.
Pave it
Pick the swatch from the 64 finishes — herringbone to granite setts to tarmac.
Set the surroundings
Meadow, woodland, moorland, coastal or alpine beyond the plot, plus the treeline.
What you get
Roads & surroundings is one of fifteen feature pages covering what ships in Builder today — every claim here maps to a shipped, verified feature. The list below is the concrete surface:
- Terrain-hugging roads laid by clicking points — they climb and dive with your sculpting
- Ten paving sets for drives, paths and courtyards, from herringbone block to stepping stones
- Loose and laid ground work: resin gravel, hoggin, slate chip, bark, decking and composite, tarmac
- Horizon surround with treeline: meadow, woodland, moorland, coastal, alpine
- Procedural materials keep relief real — setts read as setts at any angle
- The whole composed plot still passes the 60 FPS performance gate
FAQ
Do roads follow the terrain I sculpted?
Yes — roads hug the surface by construction. Lay them after sculpting and they climb the bank and drop into the cut; change the ground later and lay a new route the same way, by clicking points.
What should I pave a driveway with?
Anything from the ground sets: block stretcher or herringbone for a formal approach, granite setts or cobbles for something older, grass pavers where green matters, tarmac or resin gravel for the plain answer. All 64 swatches are procedural, so the relief is real.
Can I have countryside with no road at all?
Of course — the surround is independent. Pick meadow, woodland, moorland, coastal or alpine for the horizon, set the treeline, and leave the plot itself to grass and planting.
