PlaySmart has recently partnered with KOMPAN Limited in a new installation. Our project was to improve the play area at Moorlands School. Our outdoor surfacing extended the area for play by turning the tree line into a secure, safe space.
The existing play area and artificial grass met a large tree pit which ran the length of the space. This tree pit prevented anyone from using that section of the site, therefore, reducing accessibility. Previously, any activity in the area would disturb tree roots and vegetation, and also kick up dirt and mud.
It was decided that JungleMulch was the perfect outdoor surfacing option to allow children to make use of the space. Additionally, the porous surface protects the trees, accommodating root movement while also reducing erosion.
The result is a more landscaped look, which will allow the children to enjoy more of their outdoor space. Below are some previous projects using this same JungleMulch technique. The brown-red rubber mulch naturally blends in with the vegetation while also providing protection.
