Playground Surfacing

Safe, durable and attractive playground surfacing is essential for creating outdoor spaces where children can play, learn and explore with confidence.

At Living Timber, we supply and install a wide range of playground surfacing solutions for schools, nurseries and educational settings across Kent. Whether you need impact-absorbing safety surfacing beneath play equipment, colourful pathways or hard-wearing surfaces for high-traffic areas, we can recommend the most suitable option for your site and budget.

All safety surfacing is installed in accordance with relevant playground safety standards, including BS EN 1176 and BS EN 1177 where applicable.

Playground Surfacing Options

We offer a variety of surfacing solutions to suit different environments and play requirements, including:

  • Wet Pour Safety Surfacing
  • Bonded Rubber Mulch
  • Bark Surfacing
  • Sand Play Areas
  • Rubber Grass Saver Mats
  • Artificial Grass and Synthetic Turf
  • Timber Decking
  • Pathways and Access Routes

Wet Pour and Safety Surfacing

Wet pour and bonded rubber surfacing provide excellent impact absorption beneath climbing frames, adventure trails and other playground equipment.

Available in a wide range of colours and designs, safety surfacing can be used to create vibrant playground spaces while helping to reduce the risk of injury from falls. From simple colour blocks to bespoke patterns and shapes, surfacing can be tailored to complement your outdoor environment.

Pathways and Outdoor Areas

Surfacing can also transform everyday outdoor spaces. Rubber mulch pathways, synthetic grass, decking and bark areas provide practical, low-maintenance solutions that improve accessibility and enhance the appearance of school grounds.

Whether creating pathways between play zones or upgrading worn grassed areas, we can help design a solution that works for your site.

Safety Surfacing Requirements

Play equipment with a free fall height above 0.6 metres typically requires impact-absorbing surfacing beneath and around the equipment.

If you are installing new playground equipment or upgrading an existing play area, we can advise on the most appropriate surfacing solution and help ensure compliance with current playground safety standards.
