Playground Rubber Mulch Safety Flooring for Playground and Outdoor Areas

We specialise in providing high-quality bound rubber mulch surfacing for outdoor playgrounds, recreational areas, and public spaces across the UK. Perfect for schools, nurseries, parks, and commercial areas, our rubber mulch creates a natural-looking safety surface that combines durability with aesthetic appeal.

Why Choose Rubber Mulch?

• Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Made from 90% recycled tyre rubber, our rubber mulch is an environmentally friendly choice that helps reduce waste while providing a safe and durable play surface.
• Safe and Impact Absorbent: Rubber mulch is designed to absorb impact from falls, making it an excellent option for playgrounds. It meets the required Critical Fall Height (CFH) standards, ensuring maximum safety for children using play equipment.
• Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional bark chippings or gravel, rubber mulch requires minimal upkeep. There’s no need for regular raking, topping up, or worrying about muddy conditions – the surface is durable and maintains its integrity over time.
• Natural Appearance: The rubber mulch’s wood-like texture and colour blend seamlessly into outdoor environments. With options like brown, green, and speckled designs, it is ideal for natural play areas and enhances the beauty of parks and gardens.
• Weather Resistant: Rubber mulch remains resilient in all weather conditions, from heavy rain to extreme heat, ensuring your play area remains safe and functional year-round.

Customised Rubber Mulch Solutions

We offer a wide range of colour options to suit the specific needs of your project. The most popular colours are brown and green for a natural appearance, but we can also create custom designs with speckled effects for a more unique look. Our flexible approach allows us to tailor our services to suit your budget and aesthetic preferences.

Installation Process

Our rubber mulch can be installed directly onto compacted soil, stone, or tarmac, making it a versatile option for both new builds and upgrades to existing playgrounds. The installation process involves mixing the rubber shreds with a polyurethane binder to form a bonded, durable surface. Once laid, the mulch cures to form a solid, safe flooring suitable for high foot traffic areas.

Rubber Mulch for Critical Fall Heights

The depth of rubber mulch required depends on the critical fall height (CFH) of the equipment installed in the playground. We ensure that the mulch is installed to meet safety standards, providing the right level of protection for children playing on swings, slides, climbing frames, and more.

Ideal Applications

• Schools and Nurseries: Rubber mulch is perfect for playgrounds and activity areas, providing a safe and attractive surface that can withstand heavy use.
• Parks and Public Spaces: It’s ideal for pathways, seating areas, and nature trails, offering a rustic and natural look while being durable and safe.
• Commercial Areas: Rubber mulch is great for creating appealing outdoor spaces in commercial environments, including hotel gardens, recreational facilities, and more.

Maintenance

While rubber mulch is designed to be low maintenance, regular cleaning and upkeep are recommended to ensure the surface remains safe and functional. Routine checks for wear and tear, especially in high-use areas, are essential. Should any damage occur, we offer rubber mulch repair kits for quick and easy fixes.

Rubber Mulch for The Daily Mile™ and Running Tracks

Rubber mulch is also an excellent choice for creating running tracks or pathways for initiatives like The Daily Mile™, which encourages children to get active outdoors. It can be laid around sports pitches, providing a safe, comfortable surface for outdoor exercise.
