What’s Involved in Resin Play Area & School Ground Installation

Installing a resin bound play area or school ground surface involves careful planning to ensure safety, durability and long-term performance. Each installation is designed to support daily use while providing a clean, slip-resistant surface suitable for educational environments.

Site Assessment and Planning

Every project begins with an assessment of the existing area, including ground conditions, drainage and how the space will be used. This helps ensure the finished surface supports safe movement, clear zone definition and efficient water drainage.

Surface Preparation

The existing surface is prepared to create a stable, even base. Where suitable, resin bound surfacing can be installed over existing concrete or tarmac, reducing disruption while ensuring long-term stability.

Mixing the Resin Bound Aggregate

UV-stable resin is combined with natural aggregates to produce a durable, consistent mix. This ensures a smooth, seamless finish that remains stable and visually clear over time.

Application and Finishing

The resin bound material is applied by hand and finished carefully to create a level, slip-resistant surface. Edges and transitions are neatly formed to define play areas, walkways and shared spaces.

Curing and Handover

Once installed, the surface is left to cure before use. Clear guidance is provided on access times and aftercare, allowing the play area or school ground to be brought back into use safely and efficiently.

Resin Play Area & School Ground Colour Options

Resin bound surfacing is available in a wide range of natural aggregate colours, allowing play areas and school grounds to be designed with both safety and clarity in mind. Colour choices can be used to define play zones, walkways and shared areas, helping improve visibility and supervision.

All colour options are UV stable and maintain a durable, slip-resistant finish suitable for daily use in school environments.

I am writing to thank you for a quality job in the laying of our new resin drive. We were very impressed by the care that you and your team took in installing the layers, particularly as the weather at the time was rather mixed. We have had numerous positive comments from friends and family about the way it looks. Following our recommendation, a friend of ours also had his resin drive laid by your team. It really looks good and he is very pleased with the result. It is always good to be able to recommend someone and then see a quality job well done. I wish you continuing success going forward.
