Quick Answer
Playground and path surfacing in Golden Hill
Golden Hill is part of our San Diego County service area. Homeowners, HOAs, schools and parks can work with us on paths and walkways, play areas, lawns and shade, and on repairs to existing surfaces.
Golden Hill is east of downtown San Diego, north of State Route 94 and south of Balboa Park. On sites with grade changes, porous rubber can be laid on slopes and over mounds, and over a crushed base it lets rainwater soak in rather than run off.

Choosing a Surface
Choosing surfaces for sloped sites.
Grade changes affect both how a surface is installed and where water goes.
Runoff
Areas that collect water
Over a compacted crushed base, porous rubber lets rainwater pass through instead of running off.
Play
Play areas on level pads
Under play equipment, PIP cushion depth is matched to fall height, over a prepared base.
Lawns
Yard and common-area lawns
Artificial grass gives a green lawn without mowing.
Shade
Shade over play
Shade structures cover play areas and patios.

Our Process
How a Golden Hill project runs.
Five steps, with grading and drainage reviewed early.
01
Project Discovery
We learn how the space is used and what problems you see, such as runoff or worn surfaces.
02
Site Evaluation & Planning
We measure the area and check slopes, drainage paths, roots and the existing base.
03
Design & Specification
We recommend surfaces for each part of the site and send a written estimate.
04
Preparation & Installation
The base is graded and prepared, then each surface is installed.
05
Final Review & Care Guidance
We walk the site with you and explain cleaning, weed control and inspection.
Timing depends on the size of the site, grading and base work, weather and cure time. See our process

Yes. Porous rubber can be laid on slopes, over mounds and around bends. We review steep sections during the site evaluation. Rubber trails and paths.
Will it help with runoff?
Over a compacted crushed base, rainwater passes through porous rubber into the base and subsoil instead of running off the surface.
Can you surface a backyard play area?
Yes. Under play equipment we specify poured-in-place rubber with cushion depth matched to the equipment’s fall height. PIP for homes and HOAs.
Is artificial grass an option for a sloped yard?
It can be, depending on the grade; we plan grading and drainage during the site evaluation. Lawn and garden turf.
