Backyards, daycares, schools, churches and parks get playground rubber surfacing from us: a deep cushion layer matched to the equipment under a coloured top. Every Whitby job we take is fully insured, start to finish. The finished playground is seamless, drains, and can be crossed in a wheelchair.
Playground rubber surfacing from us is two layers: a black SBR cushion that runs from one and a half inches up past four, under a coloured EPDM top roughly half an inch deep. How high the equipment stands decides how deep that cushion has to be. A daycare toddler structure calls for far less than a climbing tower at a school in Williamsburg, and the quote names the thickness for each zone.
The SBR cushion of the rubber surfacing is what catches the fall. The top layer is what the children see and what takes the wear, so it is poured in colour and can carry shapes, paths and games.
Whitby Rubber Surfacing replaces engineered wood fibre and pea gravel with poured rubber surfacing that stays at the same depth in the landing zones. Mulch drifts away from under the swings and off the slide run-outs, and by August the spots that matter most are the thinnest. It also holds water on the clay soils south of Rossland Road and freezes solid in January.
Water goes straight down through poured rubber surfacing, and it does not scatter or need topping up. Snow can be shoveled off rubber surfacing. A stroller or a wheelchair can cross it, which mulch never allows.
We build the base first, either the existing concrete or asphalt pad, or a compacted stone base on a new site. The SBR cushion is mixed on site and poured to the thickness set by each piece of equipment, then the EPDM top layer goes on in the colours and pattern the school or daycare chose. Edges are shaped to meet the surrounding grass, concrete or curb without a trip lip.
Playground rubber surfacing needs a longer cure than a patio because it is thicker. We keep children off it for a few days and confirm the date before we leave.
Have Whitby Rubber Surfacing out for a free visit and we will tape the play area, record how high each piece of equipment stands, and write a quote with the product, the depth zone by zone, the square feet and the cost. Because so much rubber goes into it, playground rubber surfacing around here starts near $15 a square foot and can reach $30 or more. Splash pads and school courtyards are covered on our commercial rubber surfacing page. Our other rubber surfacing services each get a page, or contact us to line up a visit.
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.

Salt-pitted garage floors and cracked drives, concrete or asphalt, get covered by our driveway and garage rubber surfacing, a skin that sheds water and will not scale. Every Whitby job we take is fully insured, start to finish. Whatever slab is down now is what the rubber surfacing gets poured onto.

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.

Home gyms, fitness studios, school weight rooms and arena dry-land areas get seamless gym rubber surfacing from us, glued down to the slab so it can never creep apart the way mats do. Every Whitby job we take is fully insured, start to finish. Black SBR is the standard, with colour if the room wants it.

Condo terraces, school courtyards, splash pads, seniors' residences, daycare yards and horse barns from the harbour to the farms north of Brooklin all fall under commercial and equestrian rubber surfacing, and each one is measured and quoted in writing. Every Whitby job we take is fully insured, start to finish.
