The sand on the ground was a picture I took at the playground, and tiled it the best I could to avoid the obnoxious repeat pattern.  It does pretty well covering a large area. The lighting needs to be adjusted in order to get the normal map to produce convincing depth to the sand.

The concrete wall with the water stains is tiled only on the width.  The height is set to stretch. It is the same texture as the wall with the door on it, only I added a stain to that wall on top of the texture and lowered the roughness to get a shine.

Another trick I used on the concrete texture was to add the bump map from the rock landscaping to the concrete image in the library.  Interesting result.
