Paths and steps in concrete, interlock, stone or wood get wrapped by our patio and step rubber surfacing in one continuous skin that sheds water and holds a boot through ice season. Every Whitby job we take is fully insured, start to finish. Whatever is down now stays put as the base.
We wrap concrete and stone steps in rubber surfacing with a rounded nose on each tread so that the first freezing morning of the year is not a fall. Steps face the weather on five sides, so they cool faster than the walk and freeze first. The older homes around Brock Street and Dundas Street have steps that were patched many times, and water sits in every patch line and freezes.
That water falls straight through rubber surfacing, which holds a shoe wet or dry. Being soft, a slip on rubber surfacing ends in a bruise rather than a break, which is why seniors' residences and daycares ask for it on their entrances.
Interlock and concrete patios that have heaved and settled get rubber surfacing from Whitby Rubber Surfacing, bridging the joints and low spots without tearing out the base. South of the old Lake Iroquois shoreline, Port Whitby, Lynde Creek and downtown sit on clay that puffs up in frost and drops back when it thaws. Pavers lift, sand washes out of the joints and weeds move in.
Between three-eighths and half an inch of rubber surfacing turns that patio into one seamless surface. It stays cooler than stone in sun, quieter than pavers under a chair, and there is no joint for a weed to find.
We pressure wash the old surface, grind off any sealer, reset any paver that rocks, and repair whichever cracks are still on the move. Loose joint sand is blown out and the surface is primed once it is dry so the rubber surfacing bonds.
Mixed at the house, the rubber surfacing gets worked by trowel across the patio, along the walkway and up each step, with the nosing rounded and the outside edges tapered so nothing catches a shovel. Coloured EPDM is used throughout, in a tan, grey or charcoal blend, with an aliphatic binder on the light colours. Foot traffic returns the next day.
Call for a free visit and Whitby Rubber Surfacing will tape the patio, path and steps, look at the base, and hand you a written quote with the product, depth, square footage and cost on it. Patio and walkway rubber surfacing over what is already down usually costs $8 to $16 a square foot around here. Should the path end at a pool, our pool deck rubber surfacing goes onto the same quote. Each of the six rubber surfacing services is written up separately, or contact us when you are ready.
The other surfaces we pour are listed here, each with its own page.
Around an in-ground pool, the concrete, pavers or stamped deck already in place becomes the base, and we trowel pool deck rubber surfacing onto it for a cooler, softer, slip-resistant finish. Every Whitby job we take is fully insured, start to finish.
