Quick Answer
Playground and courtyard surfacing in Cortez Hill
We serve Cortez Hill as part of our San Diego County service area. Residential associations and property managers can work with us on small play areas, courtyards, pet areas and walkways, from the first site visit through installation and care.
Cortez Hill is on the north side of downtown San Diego, south of Bankers Hill and next to Little Italy. Where walkways and common areas have grade changes, porous rubber can follow slopes and bends without joints.

Do you serve Cortez Hill?
Yes. Cortez Hill is part of our San Diego County service area, and we come to your site to evaluate the space. See all areas served.
When should a courtyard use PIP?
When it has play equipment. PIP is seamless and cushioned, and its depth is matched to each component’s critical fall height.
What works best on a sloped walkway?
Porous rubber can be laid on slopes and around bends, and over a crushed base rainwater passes through rather than running off. We check grades during the site evaluation.
Can our board review options before committing?
Yes. After the site evaluation we provide a written estimate with the recommended surfaces for your board to review.
Can you resurface an existing play area?
Depending on its condition, an existing PIP surface can be repaired or replaced. PIP maintenance and repair.
