What is Our Process for Installing Play Area Surfaces?

This process begins with an in-depth site assessment and consultation to select the best surface type—whether EPDM rubber, artificial turf, or natural materials like sand or wood chips—to meet both safety and aesthetic requirements.
Site Preparation: We start by clearing debris and levelling the ground to establish a stable foundation for the surface.
Base Application: Base materials are added based on the specific needs of the area, factoring in drainage, accessibility, and user age groups to ensure a solid and safe underlayer.
Surface Installation: The chosen surface is expertly laid down, strictly adhering to safety and durability guidelines to provide a long-lasting play area.
Finishing Touches: Final adjustments and quality checks are conducted, enhancing both usability and appearance. This meticulous approach underscores our dedication to delivering safe, high-quality play areas.

What Is The Cost Of Play Area Surfaces?
The average cost of play area surfaces typically ranges between £40–£90 per square metre, depending on the surface type, area size, and specific safety features needed.
This pricing offers a solid basis for budgeting but varies with materials like EPDM rubber, bonded mulch, or artificial grass, as well as the specific installation details.
The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the type of surface selected; for example, Wetpour and bonded mulch offer different benefits and price points based on durability and safety features.
Additionally, larger installations require more materials and labor, raising the overall cost. Customised options, such as added safety padding, integrated play graphics, and tailored designs, also play a significant role in determining the final expense.
