Maintenance
Top-up
service
We refill sand pits, rubber mulch beds and other loose-fill surfaces. Most daycares book a top-up once a year to keep fall zones compliant and sand pits clean.
Loose fill settles, so we top it up on schedule
Fresh sand for pits
We pull old contaminated sand, clean the box, and refill to depth in a single visit. The new sand is kid-grade play sand, washed, low-dust, and certified for licensed play environments.
Rubber mulch refills
Fall zones lose depth as mulch compacts and migrates. We measure existing depth, top up to your CSA-required height, and rake the surface even before we leave.
When we come
Daycares usually book us in spring or late summer. We arrive early and work the hours that suit your day.
Depths documented
Every top-up visit ends with a written depth report and photos for your licensing file, ready to hand to your inspector or your board.

Who books a yearly top-up
Licensed daycares
Almost every Ontario daycare we work with books an annual sand refresh for licensing prep.
K–12 schools
Through procurement, school boards can bundle multiple yards into one visit window. Summer top-ups are done before September drop-off, so the school year isn't disrupted.
Municipal parks
Township and regional sites run on multi-site contracts. We move through your park list on schedule and submit combined depth reports per CSA.
