Burke Turf

Burke Turf® combines rugged durability with remarkable softness and beauty that allows it to be used in both sports and playground areas! With the look and feel of fine blade fescue or blue grass lawn, it is a perfect complement to any playground area and helps keep children of all abilities moving! Below the playground surface you’ll find a soft infill that is completely anti-microbial, to provide a lasting, healthy play environment. A shock and drainage pad provides shock absorption and impact protection from falls – the most common source of serious playground injuries. Burke Turf conforms to the latest CPSC, ASTM, and ADAAG standards for impact attenuation and accessibility.

Play Tiles

Rubber play tiles are designed to be a more resilient rubber surfacing option and are manufactured from recycled rubber. The rubber tiles are available alone or with padding to match every fall height. They feature a porous surface for easy drainage and have been shown to eliminate potential health risks involved with loose fill surfacing. Tile dimensions are 2’x2’. Available in 3 different colors — Black, Red, Green.

Pricing:

  • 4’ Fall Height — 1.75” Tile @ $10.93/sq.ft.
  • 6’ Fall Height — 1.75” Tile w/ 1” Pad @ $15.71/sq.ft.
  • 8’ Fall Height — 1.75” Tile w/ 2” Pad @ $17.36/sq. ft.

Engineered Wood Fiber

Engineered wood fiber is an economical playground surfacing that is used in many playgrounds spaces because of its high impact absorbing qualities yet firm, slip resistant surface that, if properly installed, will meet accessibility guidelines and keep your kids safer as they play.

Rubber Mulch

Loose fill rubber mulch is one of the most popular surfacing options for playground areas. It is made from re-processed tires to ensure safe material that is wire free. Studies have shown that loose fill rubber offers greater shock absorbing capacity and a softer landing than wood. It is also shown to last longer and require less maintenance than wood fill as well, as the product is denser and less likely to be washed away in weather. Available in 5 different colors- Black, Mocha Brown, Cedar Red, Redwood, Green, Blue.

Pricing:

  • 20lb. Sack (0.81 cubic feet)- $16.99
  • 1/2 Ton Sack (1.35 cubic yards)- $499.99
  • 1 Ton Sack (2.7 cubic yards)- $799.99

Rubber Mulch Color Options

Bonded Mulch

Bonded Rubber Mulch is a great surfacing alternative to both loose fill rubber mulch and PIP. It offers the aesthetically pleasing and natural look of loose fill rubber while still providing the low maintenance of poured in place rubber. Bonded mulch consists of larger shredded pieces rather than the granular pea size pieces used in PIP. Again, ideal for heavily trafficked play areas and those interested in a more “natural” feel. Available in a variety of colors- Black, Brown, Red, Green, Yellow, Rustic Blend, Jungle Blend, Rainbow Blend.

Pricing:

  • 2” Depth- $11.75/sqft
  • 2.5” Depth- $12.50/sqft
  • 3” Depth- $13.50/sqft
  • 3.5” Depth- $15.28/sqft
