Playground Ground Cover refers to specialized surfacing materials installed beneath and around playground equipment to enhance safety, accessibility, and appearance. Designed to cushion falls and prevent injuries, ground cover is a critical component of any outdoor play area. At Pro Playgrounds, our Playground Ground Cover options include engineered wood fiber and recycled rubber mulch—each offering superior impact absorption and compliance with all relevant safety and accessibility standards. Whether you're updating an existing space or building from the ground up, we provide safe, attractive ground cover solutions you can trust.
We offer two primary Playground Ground Cover materials: Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) and Rubber Mulch. EWF is a cost-effective, natural-looking option made from processed wood fibers that interlock for added stability and accessibility. Rubber mulch is a premium, long-lasting alternative crafted from 100% recycled rubber, known for its vibrant colors and exceptional durability. Both types of Playground Ground Cover are free of harmful contaminants and meet stringent industry guidelines for purity and safety.
Every Playground Ground Cover product we supply meets or exceeds the safety requirements outlined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), including ASTM F1292 for impact attenuation and ASTM F1951 for wheelchair accessibility. Additionally, our materials align with the Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) guidelines and meet all Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. These certifications ensure your playground looks excellent and provide a safe, inclusive space for children of all abilities to play confidently.
Installing Playground Ground Cover offers a host of advantages beyond safety. Engineered wood fiber provides natural drainage and a clean aesthetic. At the same time, rubber mulch provides outstanding longevity, color retention, and minimal maintenance. Both materials are highly resistant to pests, mold, and decay. Their shock-absorbing properties protect against falls from playground equipment. At the same time, their loose-fill nature allows for flexible installation and replacement. These benefits make Playground Ground Cover a wise investment for municipalities, schools, and commercial recreation spaces.
At Pro Playgrounds, sustainability is built into every solution. Our rubber mulch is made from recycled tires, contributing to waste reduction and environmental stewardship. It does not degrade over time, reducing the need for frequent replenishment. Engineered wood fiber is sourced from clean, debarked hardwood and processed to eliminate sharp fragments and contaminants. Both materials offer a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution that retains its integrity through rain, sun, and active use. Choose Playground Ground Cover that's safe for kids—and the planet.
