We don’t just design the playground, the surfacing is very much part of the play area too. We want children to be able to play safely all year round and having the right all-weather surfacing will help them do just that. We offer a few different options, and we can talk you through each one.
Some of our surfacing is better suited to different environments or age groups, and we can share our recommendations. Like when we design our playgrounds, we’ll always listen to your requirements first, get a better understanding of your needs, and together we can design and build a play area the children will play on for years to come.

Wood chip and bark, whilst technically different, are often used together, both of which are a by-product of timber processing, so it’s the most environmentally friendly and cost effective of all playground surfacing materials.
Standards require it to be 300mm deep which has to be accomplished with a dug out pit or timber wall.
