Rubber
surfacing
Poured-in-place rubber for daycare and school playgrounds in Southern Ontario. It's smooth and slip-resistant, cushions falls, drains well and stays flexible through -40°C winters.
What you get with poured-in-place rubber
Fall protection
Installed to meet CSA Z614 and ASTM F1292 critical fall height requirements. We document depth, HIC values, and Gmax ratings on every project where certification is needed.
Accessibility
The surface is smooth and firm, so strollers, wheelchairs, and mobility devices move freely. AODA compliant, with no edges, gaps, or trip hazards.
Canadian winters
It stays flexible through freeze-thaw cycles and -40°C winters without cracking or delaminating, unlike poured concrete or asphalt.
Custom design
Choose from unlimited colour combinations, patterns, game court markings, logos, and interactive play elements. We lay them out to fit your space.

Where rubber surfacing works
Daycares & schools
Our most common job. We know the licensing requirements and yard layouts, and how much it matters to keep operations running during installation.
Municipal parks
Public parks see heavy use on small maintenance budgets. We document compliance for public procurement requirements.
Residential & commercial
Backyard play areas, pool decks, gym floors, and equestrian stalls. It's slip-resistant and easy to clean.

EPDM colour granules
The colour comes from the EPDM granules in the wear layer, 12–13mm on a typical install.
Screens can't match rubber exactly. Ask us for physical samples before you choose.
Rubber on its own, or as part of a bigger project
We'll install rubber on its own, or with play structures, turf, shade and bollards. We work at daycares, sports courts, campgrounds, pool decks and other spaces.
