Loose Fill Surfacing

Loose fill surfacing is generally the most economical of all playground surfacing options . Due to its mobile nature some regular maintenance is required to ensure it remains dispersed evenly around your play space . A playground border is recommended for these surfacing options .
Engineered Wood Fiber
Engineered Wood Fiber is manufactured from natural wood fibers that are not suitable for lumber . This type of surface is designed to reduce injuries on playgrounds while providing a stable , resilient surface for trails .

Rubber Mulch playground surfacing is impact absorbent , easy to install and virtually maintenance free .
