Safety Surfacing for Play Areas

With a commitment for safety, design, and play value, surfacing has grown into an exciting and broad field of options for finishing a play area, aquatic environment, or sports field. Today, safety surfacing can be found in any number of styles, textures, colors, or designs. Our surfacing brands can provide any type of surfacing for your play or recreation project.

IPEMA Certified

Artificial Turf

Developed specifically to meet the recreational needs of pre-school children and for the critical fall heights (with use of additional padding) associated with commercial play structures. Ideal for daycare centers, community playgrounds and parks, turf is a softer, non-abrasive surface for safer playgrounds. More inviting and interactive than other playground surfaces, it is more durable and needs less maintenance than natural grass.

Poured in Place Rubber

A long-lasting surfacing choice. It requires little maintenance and is the perfect addition to your indoor or outdoor space.

Poured-in-Place (PIP) Rubber Surfacing is a seamless, unitary safety surface designed to provide exceptional fall protection while creating an attractive and accessible play environment. Made from a combination of recycled rubber and binding agents, this surfacing is installed on-site to create a smooth, durable surface that accommodates wheelchairs, strollers, and other mobility devices. Available in a wide variety of colors and custom designs, PIP rubber allows for creative patterns, logos, and educational elements to be incorporated directly into the playground. Its low-maintenance design, long-lasting durability, and ADA accessibility make it a popular choice for schools, parks, childcare centers, and inclusive playgrounds.

Engineered Wood Fiber

Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) is a specially manufactured playground safety surfacing material designed to help reduce the severity of injuries from falls. Unlike traditional landscape mulch, EWF is made from clean, processed wood fibers that interlock to create a stable, accessible surface for children of all abilities. It provides excellent impact attenuation, meets playground safety standards when properly installed and maintained, and offers a natural appearance that blends well with outdoor environments. EWF is a cost-effective surfacing option that is commonly used in schools, parks, churches, and community playgrounds.

Rubber Mulch

Rubber Mulch is a durable playground safety surfacing option made from recycled rubber materials designed to provide excellent impact attenuation and long-lasting performance. Unlike traditional wood mulch, rubber mulch does not decompose, compact, or attract insects, helping maintain consistent safety coverage over time. Its loose-fill design allows for effective cushioning beneath playground equipment while requiring less frequent replenishment than organic surfacing materials. Available in a variety of colors, rubber mulch offers an attractive appearance and a low-maintenance solution for schools, parks, churches, and community playgrounds.
