Playground Surfacing
Playground Surfacing
Playground surfacing is a fundamental part of creating safe, accessible and long-lasting play spaces. Caloo supplies and installs playground surfacing for schools, nurseries, councils and community playgrounds across the UK, supporting both new developments and refurbishment projects.
Playground surfacing is designed to work alongside play equipment, pathways and open activity areas. All surfaces are planned to suit the layout of the playground and the intended age range of users, ensuring the finished space is practical and easy to maintain.
What Is Playground Surfacing?
Playground surfacing refers to specialist outdoor surfaces installed within children’s play areas. These surfaces are designed to support everyday play while providing a durable and consistent finish across the playground.
Playground surfacing is commonly used beneath play equipment, across open play zones and within designated activity areas.
Playground Surfacing Designed for Play Environments
Playground surfacing is selected specifically for environments where children play regularly. Surfaces are chosen to suit the type of play equipment, expected footfall and overall site layout.
This ensures playgrounds remain usable throughout the year and continue to support safe, inclusive outdoor play.
Playground Surfacing Options
Caloo supplies a range of playground surfacing solutions suitable for different play environments and design requirements.
Playground surfacing options include:
- Wetpour
- Rubber Mulch
- Play Grass
- Play Surface Markings
Each solution is suited to different layouts and play styles, and can be installed as part of a new playground or refurbishment project.
Integrated Playground Design and Installation
Playground surfacing is installed as part of Caloo’s complete playground design and build service. Surfacing is planned alongside play equipment, access routes and surrounding features to ensure the playground functions as a cohesive space.
This coordinated approach supports long-term use and helps ensure the finished playground meets site and user requirements.
Refurbishing Existing Playground Surfaces
Playground surfacing can be replaced or upgraded as part of a refurbishment project. Refurbishment works may include replacing worn surfaces, updating layouts or introducing new markings to refresh existing play areas.
These projects are often delivered alongside new play equipment or wider playground improvements.
Experience Delivering Playground Surfacing Projects
Caloo has delivered playground surfacing projects across the UK for schools, nurseries and local authorities. Each project is planned around site conditions, playground layout and intended use to ensure surfaces support long-term play.
