Artificial grass is a popular choice for playgrounds due to its natural appearance, durability, and minimal maintenance needs. Our high-quality artificial turf is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and adverse weather conditions. For added safety, we offer an impact-absorbing underlay, making artificial grass suitable for a range of play environments, from school playgrounds to public parks.
Wet pour surfacing is one of the most popular options for playground safety due to its seamless, slip-resistant finish and high impact absorption. Made from rubber granules bound together with a flexible resin, wet pour provides a cushioned surface that reduces the risk of injury. Available in a wide range of colours and designs, wet pour surfacing is perfect for customisation, including fun patterns and playground markings.
We also offer rubber mulch and bonded mulch surfaces as eco-friendly alternatives, using recycled rubber materials. These surfaces are durable, shock-absorbing, and provide a natural appearance. Playground markings are available as an add-on to any surfacing option, offering customisable patterns, games, and educational elements that encourage interactive play.
