Safety surfacing reduces the risk of serious injury from falls. It's engineered to absorb impact and protect children during play. All commercial playground surfacing must meet strict ASTM safety standards for fall height protection.

Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) is a natural, wood-based material that's cost-effective and offers excellent impact protection. Rubber surfacing (bonded rubber, EPDM, poured-in-place) is more durable, requires less maintenance, and comes in various colors. Both meet safety standards; choice depends on budget, aesthetics, and maintenance preferences.

The amount needed depends on your equipment's fall height, the area under and around the equipment, and local safety standards. Use our mulch calculator above to estimate your needs, or contact us for a professional assessment. We can also conduct a safety inspection to verify your current installation.

EWF requires more frequent maintenance (raking, top-ups) to maintain proper depth. Rubber surfacing requires minimal maintenance but should be inspected regularly for damage. We offer maintenance programs to keep your surfacing safe and compliant year-round.
