Over the years, playgrounds have developed to make them safer while still being enjoyable for kids. Installing proper levels of safety surfacing under play equipment is one of the many safety measures that have been put in place. Those who are unfamiliar with playgrounds may be uncertain of their alternatives and what would be ideal for their playground. Sand, pea gravel, shredded or recycled mulch, wood mulch, chips, or any material that has been tested to ASTM F1292, including unitary surfaces, engineered wood fiber, and so on, are all good options for playground rubber surfacing. Depending on the type of surfacing you choose, you'll need to do some study to ensure you're laying down the proper amount. Most Cost-effective Playground Surface Options There are many options for playground safety surfacing, but we believe that rubber mulch is by far the safest and most cost-effective option for commercial playground surfacing in the long run. Rubber playground mulch, which is manufactured from recycled tires, is something that most of us are familiar with. These tires are cleaned, shredded, and processed several times before being turned into a visually appealing and, more importantly, safe playground surfacing material. Over any other playground surfacing material on the market today, rubber mulch has the highest impact absorption rate per inch of height. It's an inexpensive playground surface option that comes in a variety of colors, doesn't require professional installation or maintenance, and best of all, it'll last a lifetime. Loose-Fill Surfacing This type of surfacing includes sand, wood mulch, wood chips, rubber mulch, engineered wood fiber, and pea gravel. Many of these materials are low-cost and easy to install. You'll need to know the fall height of your playground before installing any of the surfaces. This will determine the thickness of your surfacing. Compressed wood mulch protects against a fall height of 7 feet, while compressed wood chips protect a fall height of 10 feet. Calculate how much loose-fill surfacing you'll need by determining your fall heights and the style of loose-fill you desire. This type of surfacing will need to be replenished since foot traffic kicks loose material out. Unitary Surfacing and Poured Rubber Playground Rubber mats, rubber tiles, and poured-in-place rubber are examples of unitary surfaces. These forms of flooring are often more expensive than those made of loose-fill material. Any of these poured rubber playground surfaces will take more time to install and will require a professional and qualified installation.

Mulch has been utilized in yards and flower gardens for hundreds of years. Mulch, which is typically made from organic materials like bark and wood, serves to keep soil moisture in place, promote plant growth from extreme heat, and keep weeds from sprouting in the soil. Traditional wood mulch, on the other hand, degrades over time and requires reapplication every year or two. If you've ever added mulch to flower beds, you know how time-consuming it can be and how much more mulch is always needed than you expect. Wood mulch is cheap and easy to come by, but it doesn't stay very long. It wasn't until 1990 that recycled tires were first employed as a ground cover alternative. In a report, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) referred to waste tires as a "playground gravel alternative". Improvements in tire recycling technology and equipment enabled the production of wire-free rubber mulch to be more beneficial and economical for recycling enterprises during the next decade. Rubber mulch is now more widely available for use in planters. Playing at the park, and gardening than it has ever been. The advantages of this new material are enticing. Long-lasting Playground Rubber Mulch Wood mulch is a recyclable substance, so homeowners should change it on a regular basis. The small wood chips absorb the water when it rains, are exposed to the sun’s rays, and are subjected to the freeze-thaw cycle during the winter's freezing wind. All of these factors work together to break down the wood until it is unidentifiable from the underneath soil.
