Our Playground Surfaces
At Playground Surfaces, we offer a range of surfaces that combine safety, durability, and aesthetic appeal for outdoor play areas. Our selection includes:
Artificial Grass Playground Surfacing
Artificial grass offers the appearance of natural grass with added durability and minimal maintenance, making it ideal for a variety of playground settings.
Artificial grass maintenance is simple, requiring only occasional artificial grass cleaning through brushing and rinsing to keep the surface in top condition for long-term use.
Its cushioned surface enhances safety by reducing the risk of fall-related injuries. The lush, green appearance is maintained year-round, while the material dries quickly and resists both heat and UV damage.
Wet Pour Rubber Playground Surfacing
Wetpour rubber provides a soft, impact-absorbing surface that enhances both safety and flexibility for playgrounds.
It meets critical fall height standards, offering excellent shock absorption to reduce injury risks. Designed to withstand heavy use and harsh weather conditions, it delivers long-lasting performance with minimal wetpour maintenance.
Customisation options allow for unique designs, colours, and patterns, making it adaptable to any playground theme.
Bonded Rubber Mulch Playground Surfacing
Bonded rubber mulch is an eco-friendly surface made from recycled materials, offering both safety and sustainability.
It provides effective shock absorption and meets critical fall height standards, making it ideal for playgrounds with climbing structures.
Suitable for parks, schools, residential areas, and community playgrounds, it requires minimal maintenance with periodic bonded rubber mulch cleaning to keep it safe and appealing.
