Complex Site Meshes

I understand how to morph the mesh to follow the contour lines (as described here) However, I was wondering how to create a more complex site that includes different surfaces, eg roads, paving, grass, all of which need to follow the contours and line up, vertically, with each other.

I have tried using separate meshes, one for roads, one for grass etc. While the points on the contour lines are the correct height, any point not on the contour lines, the corners etc, don't adjust to fit the slope. I could go through creating more points and manually manipulating them to line up, but it would take a while. Is there a easier way to do this?
