For Designers

Rubber Surfacing for Landscape Architects and Playground Designers in San Diego

Your design, built into the surface. We work with landscape architects and playground designers to install poured-in-place rubber, porous rubber and artificial grass that follow your layout, colors and graphics.

Example: curving porous rubber walkway beside a water feature

Quick Answer

How do we work with designers?

We install surfacing to your design: shapes, color blends, inlays and themed graphics in poured-in-place rubber, and paths, borders and tree wells in porous rubber. We review your drawings early and flag anything that affects installation or cost.

Cushion depths are set to the fall heights of the equipment using the surfacing manufacturer’s ASTM F1292 test data. We can price a new surface, or replacement of an existing one, around existing or new play equipment.
