Product Description:

The Wood Mulch Playground Flooring option is one of the most cost-effective playground safety surfacing choices available. Installed as a loose-fill surface at a depth rated for your equipment's maximum fall height, engineered wood fiber provides real cushioning and impact protection while maintaining a natural, organic appearance.

Wood surfacing is a strong fit for parks, nature centers, and installations that want a natural look on a limited budget. It's worth noting that loose-fill surfacing requires ongoing maintenance — periodic raking, leveling, and topping up — to keep its depth and fall protection consistent over time. Our team will help you plan for both installation and long-term upkeep.
