Residential Yards and Shared-Space Surfacing in Rolando

Rolando is mostly homes, with businesses along El Cajon Boulevard. We surface backyard play areas, multifamily common spaces and school yards, with careful edges where new surfaces meet existing hardscape.

Quick Answer

Rubber surfacing in Rolando

Rolando is one of the Mid-City neighborhoods we serve. Typical requests are a play area in a family backyard, a common area at a small apartment property, or new surfacing where a school or church play yard meets existing concrete.

Rolando is largely residential, with its commercial strip along El Cajon Boulevard, and University Avenue runs through it. Rolando Park, to the south, has its own page. Many yards here already have patios, walks or driveways, so how a new surface meets them is a big part of the plan.
