At Outdoor Schemes, we supply and install a range of safety surfacing solutions for schools, nurseries, local authorities, parish councils and community spaces throughout the UK. Whether you are creating a new playground or upgrading an existing area, we can help you select the right surface for your project.

Our team will guide you through the available options and recommend a solution that suits your equipment, budget and long-term maintenance requirements.

Different playgrounds require different surfacing solutions. We offer a range of products to suit different environments and levels of use.

Artificial grass offers a clean and attractive finish while maintaining a natural appearance. It can be used in play areas, outdoor learning spaces and multi-use environments. Where required, artificial grass can be installed over a shock pad system to improve safety performance.

Wet pour rubber is one of the most popular playground surfaces in the UK. It provides excellent impact protection and can be installed in a wide range of colours and designs. Wet pour is ideal beneath climbing equipment, trim trails and play structures where a safer landing surface is required.

Rubber mulch is a durable and attractive safety surfacing option made from recycled rubber. It provides excellent impact absorption to help reduce the risk of injury from falls, while its natural bark-like appearance blends well into playgrounds, parks, and outdoor learning environments. Low maintenance and weather-resistant, rubber mulch offers a long-lasting surface that remains safe and accessible throughout the year. 

Grass saver mats help protect existing grass surfaces in high-wear areas. They are often used beneath swings, along pathways and in natural play environments where retaining a grass finish is important.

Loose fill materials such as play bark and engineered wood fibre provide a cost-effective safety surface for many playgrounds. These systems are widely used in natural play areas and beneath certain types of equipment.

Playground surfacing is not just about appearance. It also plays an important role in helping reduce the risk of injury from falls.

Our surfacing systems can be designed to meet the relevant impact attenuation requirements of BS EN 1177, the recognised safety standard used within the playground industry. The appropriate surface will depend on the equipment being installed and the critical fall height that needs to be achieved.

Our team can advise on the most suitable solution for your project.

School playgrounds experience heavy use throughout the year. That is why we focus on surfaces that are durable, reliable and easy to maintain.

Our safety surfacing is designed to cope with busy educational environments while continuing to perform well for many years. We only use quality materials that are suitable for outdoor use and capable of withstanding changing weather conditions.

Outdoor Schemes provides a complete playground surfacing service from design and specification through to installation.

We work with schools, nurseries, councils and community organisations across the UK to create safe, attractive and long-lasting outdoor spaces. Whether you require a small surfacing repair or a complete playground redevelopment, we can help.
