When you start a new safety surfacing project, you know there will be many things to handle and factors to consider to guarantee that it will be successful in terms of having a high-quality surface that meets both your needs and preferences. If it is your first time, you might not know it takes a lot of work to handle surfacing tasks and projects so, if you are unsure about what to do or where to start, here is what you should do first: research about safety surfacing overall. You can get started by knowing the differences between regular surfacing and working with safe ones— no, they are not the same.
To give you a heads up, safe surfaces require less work due to how they can be installed or placed in the space, but the installation is crucial to make sure any of them provides the required and expected support and shock absorption properties. This takes us to another important aspect: you need to focus on the main purpose of the surface, which is providing a safe space and not in the appearance or looks you will obtain since this is quite secondary or a preference you need to hold while choosing an option that meets your needs first.
Next, you have to consider all the factors that influence the quality of the surface and its performance over the years. For its quality, the materials used and the installation are the factors to keep in mind. But when it comes to those that determine the quality of the final result and its performance, you have many more to hold to your heart while going through this process. If there are so many, shouldn’t you try to find professionals or well-informed people who can help you to make the decisions with their knowledge?
Indeed, professionals are needed and if they are good, they should be able to provide assistance and guidance in the entire process, even if that includes telling you about the factors to be considered and how you can work around them. However, not all professionals are truly experienced and qualified for the task, which is why you will have to find reliable ones.
At Melbourne Safety Surfacing, we are able to provide you with all the services you might need: installation, repair, replacement, maintenance, and the advice you need to make a decision. But before you decide to hire us or not, we want to provide the information you need. Therefore, look forward to learning about the basics of safety surfacing, starting with the factors you must keep in mind.
What to consider when choosing a safe surface for your space
So far, you must be thinking it will be one of the most difficult decisions in your life after what we have mentioned. However, it is nothing like that. We will not go back on our words and say it is as simple as going to a store and choose the one that looks stunning and meet your preferences in look since safe surfaces do not work in this way.
But it will not be a once-in-a-lifetime decision either. It is a matter of just knowing a thing or two in order to make the best decision at the moment and avoid having regrets or spending more money and resources in the future. That being said, where should you start with the factors that influence? All companies and professionals will mention different ones since it also depends on how they work and recommend based on your answers to a few questions.
But are there any common factors? Absolutely:
Not all surfaces perform well in cold temperatures and others are not the best option for hot ones. Meanwhile, certain alternatives can work well with both of them but a constant change can be the point that makes them less durable. You can install a surface regardless of the size of your space, but you can have a harder time if you choose one that is problematic for either small or maybe large areas. Just like they are different in appearance, the level of absorption is not the same either. Determine the properties you need in your space and search for a surface that meets your needs in this matter. Otherwise, you will not have the safety you’re looking for. Some require more time and dedication than others. If you are not willing to invest a lot on a surface, make sure the one you are choosing does not require high maintenance. Some materials are better than others—as we have mentioned—but they also come in different types and categories, which should be considered. For example, rubber is amazing as long as it is TPV or EPDM. Although the design is not the most important aspect, you do not have to sacrifice it either. Just make sure to have a clear idea and keep your needs for safety before the look you want for your space. Depending on the activities that will take place or the amount of traffic, you can determine the most suitable surface. For example, playgrounds require extra shock absorption and support.

Why hire professionals for safety surfacing
This is quite a common question and it makes sense, after all, DIY projects and ideas are popular nowadays and when it comes to surfaces overall, it is not weird to read or see people handling the installation or repairs themselves. However, 90% of the time they do not get high-quality results or they end up missing something on the surface. When you have qualified and experienced professionals handling your project, you cannot compete with the result they will be able to provide you. Therefore, when you translate this into safety surfacing, you can notice the huge difference between an amateur and a real expert.
To begin with, we mentioned that the installation plays an important role in the qualify, durability, and longevity of the surface. This means that you can be using high-quality materials but if the installation does not take place properly, those elements will go to waste. Here is when the first reason to rely on professionals appears: you are guaranteed to have a proper installation and avoid worrying about the long-term relationship with your surface.
Of course, this takes us back to having to find the right professionals but since you have us available in Melbourne and the entire state, there is no need to worry about this. As a company that has built a good reputation based on its experience, expertise, and results, we assure you that hiring us is the best option for your project.
We guarantee:
- High-quality materials used for the surfaces.
- Great installation that will prolong your surface’s longevity and durability.
- A wide range of safety surfacing options available for installation.
- Advice and recommendations based on your needs and preferences.
- Repairs and maintenance when required will be taken care of without any issues.
Services available for your surfacing needs
Now that you know we are able to assist you, it is a matter of choosing the service that fits your needs the most—or maybe ideas. We have made sure to include several ones that are mainly based on the surfaces we can work with, but we decided to focus on general needs and projects as well. Have a look below and you will be able to determine—or have an idea—what service you need:
Is your location within our reach?
If you are in Melbourne, there is no need to worry about this since we clearly offer services to the entire city. However, here is what will light up your spirit the most: all our safety surfacing services are available statewide. Florida is the entire state where you can find us and therefore, Melbourne is one of the main places but not the only one. We know this sound quite hard to believe since offering services in more than one city is already hard enough, but our company has been in businesses for over 12 years, and we assure you we know what we are doing and are confident about the solutions and assistance we can provide you.
Besides, we wanted to make sure that you are able to access reliable and experienced professionals instead of continuing to waste your time and money in hiring those that call themselves “experts” but are actually not.
Safety surfacing services are common in the country and you can determine this by just looking at all the spaces and places where a safe surface is required. But the issue lies in that many of them are not what you need nor expect. At Melbourne Safety Surfacing, we can prove our experience by showing you previous projects and jobs we have handled and completed for companies, individuals, or the government itself. After all, playgrounds, city parks, patios, yards, schools, and sports fields, are only a few of the spaces we have worked with.
We are not limited to indoor nor outdoor areas, so you can contact us while being confident that we will know how to handle your needs regardless of your location and space where the surface or service is required. With the main question about our reach and location clear, are you ready to get started? We know there is a lot to consider when choosing a service and let’s not talk about the surface itself again, but we are here for any doubts, questions, and requests you have, so do not hesitate to contact us regardless of not having a specific need in mind. A simple idea will be enough for our team to start providing you some assistance.
