Soft Play Surfaces for Schools

The truth is, we can’t answer that question without knowing your situation. An elementary school’s “5-12big kid” playground has different needs than a preschool’s 2-5 play areas. Not to mention your budget, timeline, consistency of use, and weather conditions.

Pro-Tech’s team helps you weigh your options, considering the maintenance and long-term costs that come with each, so you can make a confident decision. No matter which surface you choose, you can rest assured that they’re ADA-compliant and built to keep students safe.

Absolutely. From vibrant school colors to nature-inspired palettes, poured-in-place rubber and artificial turf offer design flexibility. We can add logos and patterns, or blend tones to align with your vision without sacrificing comfort, compliance, or durability. We also offer decorative surfacing and landscaping solutions, extending safety and style to surrounding paths, entryways, landscape areas, and green areas.

Our ASTM F1292-certified specialists offer on-site playground impact testing, so your surface meets CPSC safety guidelines before opening, after repairs, or any time you want to confirm its status. Following proven ASTM drop-test standards, we evaluate the playground surface’s ability to absorb impact and cushion falls.

After the test, we provide clear documentation that you can share with inspectors, districts, licensing, and risk management. Our experts share the reasoning behind our recommendations and work with you to plan any next steps required to keep your students protected.

Yes, we can. Repairs are part of our commitment to keeping the surfaces that communities depend on every day safe, including soft play surfaces for schools. While our durable materials are warranted for 5 years, some surfaces can last over a decade, but no surface lasts forever. However, full replacements aren’t always necessary. While some surfaces last more than a decade, no surface is permanent. In many cases, repairs or resurfacing can extend their life without the need for a full replacement.

At Pro-Techs, we offer playground surfacing maintenance based on your specific needs. From surface powerwashing to patching, to rollcoating, to full re-topping, we help you choose the most effective method to restore your playground to a safe, optimal condition.
