Welcome to the place and enjoy your stay.
Try using very fine wet / dry sand paper to simulate roadway surfaces like car parks etc.
For the buildings any railway hobby group will be able to help with some ideas of what is available in your area.
They should also be able to help with trees and other foliage for the background.
HTH,
Cheers , Pete.

I would suggest using 600 grit sandpaper, cars are small, so a fine grit will give a realistic impression
