I'm not completely sure what this is precisely referring to as this word has several different meanings.

Thanks.

IMHO "surfaced" is a safe bet UNLESS you are dealing with the sort of property that might have security walling or fencing - e.g. a transport warehouse or a DIY centre with an outside sales area. Even then it's more likely to be "gesichert" or "eingezaunt

Note I saw that, but there are several different meanings for this word, including "walled".

referring to parts of the site that are surfaced e.g. with roads or paving, cf. those that are bare earth or lawned etc.
"Metalled" is an old-fashioned term that also fits
