Comparable playground surfacing to Landscape Structures stuff?

[Michael V Volpe]

Hello All,

Does anyone use a flexible interlocking mat system for residential playground use, other than Landscape Structures products?

It is a small area, and the budget is tight.

The client is in upstate NY.

I have found a couple generic rubber mat suppliers online but if someone has a recommendation ill gladley look them up.

Thanks in advance,

Mv

We’re using Surface America’s poured surfacing (lot’s of colors); advantage being it’s flexible in terms of shapes, the disadvantage is having to hire a licensed installer.  The tiles we’ve used are ecore and playguard (best for rectangular spaces), the advantage is the easy install, the disadvantage is there is a bit of frost heave issue.

hope this helps.

I am in touch with Surface America now through my contact at Parkitecs here in ny, and good point on the frost heave, 

Thanks for your help Tosh.

Cheers
