Quick Answer
Do we work in City Heights?
Yes. City Heights is part of the San Diego area we serve. Most requests here involve shared spaces: a resident play area behind an apartment building, a school or after-school play yard, a courtyard that needs a softer, cleaner surface, or a community recreation corner.
City Heights, once called East San Diego, lies northeast of Balboa Park and south of Mission Valley. Lots are often narrow and closely built, so before we price a job we work out where materials can be staged and how the work might be split up.

Do you serve City Heights?
Yes. City Heights is within our San Diego service area. View every area we serve.
Can a project be split so residents keep using part of the space?
Often, yes. Larger areas can be divided into phases, and we agree which sections stay open while each part cures.
What surface works under an apartment play structure?
Poured-in-place rubber is the usual choice, with its depth matched to the equipment’s fall height. PIP playgrounds.
Our courtyard is small. Is rubber still practical?
Yes. Poured and porous rubber are formed to the exact shape of the space, so small or irregular courtyards are not a problem.
Where would materials be kept during the work?
We agree a staging spot during the site visit, ideally close to the work area and clear of entries.
