Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you a Wetpour & Artificial Grass Installation at Hillview Hospital, Wales

So for this job we were contacted by this hospital who had an outdoor terrace area that they were looking to have a new surface installed on.

They made it clear to us that they were looking for a surface type well suited to our unpredictable weather conditions, whilst wanting the ensure the new flooring looked appropriate for the hospital.

We explained that an artificial grass and wetpour combination could be perfect for them, due to the following benefits:

Firstly, wetpour is an outdoor rubber surface type excellent for our more rainy months. This is because rubber will soak up large amount of the rain, reducing the chance of flooding.

Wetpour is also one of the leading outdoor safety surfaces you can have fitted, as it’s rubber credentials absorb falls and trips fantastically, keeping those on the surface safe.

Additionally, with the artificial grass we fit for this job, this is a surface type that’s almost entirely weatherproof, giving the appearance of natural grass but with an added durability.

This is great for areas looking to have a natural looking surface that removes the need for traditional grass maintenance.

Here at Soft Surfaces Ltd we’ve been installing both rubber wetpour and synthetic grass nationwide for over 20 years now, and are proud to have become market leaders for this. So whatever size job you’re looking to have completed, please do get in touch.

You can see now that the installation of the surfaces are fully complete, and looks great on their outdoor terrace. The hospital was really pleased with the work we did for them.

Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you a Synthetic Turf Tennis Court Installation in London.

So this client had a worn out, moss infested hard court that they were looking to replace with a new surface.

They let us know that one of the their biggest priorities was for the court to have a natural feel to the flooring, whilst being easier to maintain than a traditional natural surface.

We explained the many surface types we can offer for tennis courts, and it was then agreed that an artificial grass synthetic surface would be perfect for their needs.

Our multi sport synthetic surfaces are ideal for many different sports types largely due to how great they feel to play on, but mainly this surface type is best suited to sports like tennis, hockey, football and basketball due to their excellent under foot qualities.

Another huge advantage with these synthetic surface types is the fact that unlike natural grass solutions, these surface types require absolutely no mowing or cutting, saving you valuable time and money.

Not only that, but these flooring types are also extremely porous, successfully soaking up rainfall across the year and dramatically reducing the chances of flooding.

Here at Soft Surfaces, we have over 2 decades of experience installing and maintaining all of the main sports surfacing types, so no matter what your needs, our nationwide team is scattered across the UK and are here to help today.

You can see from these images now that their new tennis court surfacing has been fully fitted, and looks tremendous in the dark and light green specification they chose. The client was extremely happy with the work we carried out for them.

Although we are a nationwide company, as we’ve done a lot of work within the London area we now rank in Google for the following keywords:

Video Transcript

Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you a Rubber Playground Flooring With Artificial Grass in Worthing, West Sussex.

So this small nursery had an outdoor space that they were looking to use as an outdoor play area, and were looking for both a safety surface for the youngsters, but also an artificial grass to provide a natural look.

They got in touch with us, and we proceeded to show the client all of the options they had available. It was then decided that wetpour rubber surfacing would be ideal for their safety surfaces, with a high quality synthetic surfacing fitted alongside.

So for their play area, wetpour was a brilliant choice, largely down to its EPDM rubber material. This material makes wetpour surfacing soft and spongy under foot, and massively reduces the chances of serious injury when playing on this flooring.

Also, because it’s rubber, this flooring is porous and soaks up rain all year round. Again, this makes it ideal as an outdoor surface, particularly here in our country where weather is often unpredictable.

And finally for wetpour, we offer our customers the ability to specify just how they’d like their wetpour play area to look, from colours to design and graphics, we can do it all.

The artificial grass that we installed provides a natural-looking finish to the centre of their play area but without the need for traditional upkeep and maintenance, something that this client really wanted.

We’re able to install a multitude of different artificial grass surfacing nationwide, from small jobs such as this to full-sized sports pitches!

You can see now from these images that the job has been installed, and looks brilliant in their custom wetpour design with artificial grass fitted. The nursery were so pleased.

We’re a nationwide company here at Soft Surfaces, however, from doing several jobs within the West Sussex area we now rank in Google for these keyphrases:

Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you a Rubber Playground and Artificial Grass Surfacing in Middlesborough, Yorkshire.

So our team were contacted by this company who were looking to have surfacing fitted that was ideal for their outdoor space.

They explained specifically that they were keen on having a new flooring for their outdoor play area, as well as artificial grass fitted to give the appearance of a natural look. We broke down the options we could provide, and were on-site installing soon after.

So for the playground flooring, we fitted, we opted to go for an EPDM rubber wetpour surface. This flooring type is absolutely perfect for outdoor play areas, as its spongy rubber qualities actually soak up the rain making it a porous system.

Also, wetpour is one of the safest surface types on the market, meeting the critical fall height requirements necessary for UK playgrounds and offering that all-important peace of mind for playground owners.

Finally, this is a surface that can be specified in basically any colour choice and design you like, which we can plan out with you before the work that’s place.

In terms of the artificial grass we fit, we offer plenty of different specifications to suit the client’s requirements. For example, we can install surfaces suited for small back gardens, all the way up to full-sized sports pitches!

Artificial grass can have many benefits, and for this installation, the main benefit was that it offered a natural-looking surface without the need for the maintenance required for natural grass.

You can see now that this work has now been completed, and looks fantastic across their outdoor space. The client was really pleased with what we carried out for them.

Although we are a nationwide company, from doing a lot of work in the Yorkshire area we now rank in Google for these keywords:

So for this job the client wanted to have both a safety surface fitted for their play area, but also wanted artificial grass fitted to maintain a natural look without the upkeep of natural grass.

We broke down the surfacing options that we could install for them, as well as the costs, and soon after we were cracking on with the works.

So it was mutually agreed with the nursery that for their playground flooring, wetpour surfacing would be their best option. This surface consists of an EPDM rubber, and as a result makes it one of the best safety surfaces available in the UK.

It’s rubber qualities means that it’s a very safe flooring, meeting the critical fall height (of CFH) requirements needed for outdoor play areas in the UK.

It’s also a flooring type that works well as an outdoor surface because its rubber make-up means it’s actually porous, absorbing rainfall during our more challenging months.

Additionally, in terms of the artificial grass we install, we ensure to only fit high-quality surfaces to ensure your new synthetic turf is as long-lasting as possible.

There are many options for which artificial turf you have installed depending on your needs, and we can install this for jobs of all sizes from small gardens to full-sized pitches, so this can all be discussed with you.

You can see now that the works have been completed, and the black wetpour flooring with artificial grass looks terrific at the nursery. The clients were really happy with what we did for them.

Video Transcript

Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you an Artificial Grass with Rubber Shock Pad Installation at St Ann’s Hospital, London

So with this installation, the hospital got in contact with us with the intention of creating an outdoor space that gave the appearance of natural grass, but with reduced maintenance.

We explained the artificial grass that we could install for them, along with its many benefits. Shortly after, we were on site cracking on with the work.

So one big benefit of the synthetic turf we installed for this job is that it’s a brilliant outdoor surface, particularly for organisations such as these that could do without the tedious traditional grass maintenance.

The artificial surface is perfect for the outdoors here in the UK as it’s largely weatherproof, able to withstand our more challenging months and with no need to cut or trim in the summer.

We only use high-quality materials when fitting this product, as we feel it’s important to preserve as much of the natural look with the artificial grass as possible.

For this actual job, we chose to fit a rubber shock pad underneath the artificial grass itself. The reason for this is because the rubber soaks up trips and falls excellently, and we wanted to ensure that the flooring was as safe as possible at the hospital.

At Soft Surfaces, we’ve been installing and maintaining fake turf for over 20 years now, and are proud to offer these services nationwide. So if you’re interested in having artificial grass fitted, please feel free to get in touch with us.

You can see here that the final job has been completed, and looks great as their new outdoor surface. The hospital themselves were really pleased with the work we carried out for them.

Video Transcript

Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you an Artificial Grass and Wetpour Roadway Construction in Liverpool.

So for this particular installation, the client gave us a call enquiring about having a largely maintenance-free area for the kids to play on, whilst keeping a natural appearance. We broke down the services we could provide, and soon after we were cracking on with the work.

So to start things off, let’s discuss the surface type we used for the surrounding areas, which was artificial grass. We’ve been fitting this flooring type for over 20 years now, and whilst synthetic turf is becoming more and more popular here in the UK, it’s really important that a professional fit this in order to preserve the longevity of the surface.

The main benefits of artificial grass are fairly well-known including the fact that it helps keep the area looking natural whilst removing the traditional maintenance needed for natural turf. A big advantage for this particular install though was that it can be used all year round, and when children were leaving the play area they weren’t dragging mud and dirt back in with them after playtime.

For the actual play area roadway, we opted for a wetpour surface. Again, like artificial grass, we’ve been fitting this surface nationwide for decades, and are proud to have become market leaders in the field. Wetpour is made up of an EPDM rubber so it’s extremely safe and can be fitted in a huge variety of colours and specifications. We can plan all of this out with you prior to the install.

You can see now that the final job has been complete, and looks truly excellent. The client was over the moon with what we achieved.

Installment of Artificial Grass and Wet Pour Pathway in Birmingham

Video Transcript

Hi guys its Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you an Artificial Grass and Wetpour Pathway Installation at a School in Birmingham.

For this work, the school wanted to renovate their outdoor area by having new outdoor surfacing fitted. They were keen on having multiple surfaces fitted that would suit their needs, whilst ensuring the children stayed safe at the facility.

So the first surface type we installed at their school was the large artificial grass flooring. This was installed to replace their old grass area, whilst still providing the appearance of natural grass.

One of the biggest benefits for them was that the grass needed little to no maintenance all year round, saving the school money over time.

Additionally, the synthetic turf we fitted for this work is fully porous, enabling rainwater to drain through the surface throughout the entire year.

The other surface type we fitted for this job was wetpour rubber surfacing, which was fitted around the perimeter of the school.

This was an important flooring for the school to have fitted, as its EPDM rubber make-up means it’s one of the safest surfaces available, soaking up trips and falls really well.

Also, just like the artificial grass, this flooring is also porous, perfect as an outdoor area.

We’ve been installing and maintaining a variety of outdoor surface types nationwide for over 2 decades now, so no matter what works, our team is spread out across the country and can help.

You can see from these photos here that the final job has been completed, and looks great at their school. They were really pleased with what we did for them.

Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you an Artificial Grass and Rubber Mulch Surfacing in Derby.

This work was carried out at this play area, which wanted to have a surface fitted that would give the appearance of natural grass whilst being able to be used all year round.

They also enquired about having a surface fitted as a tree surround, again, to give a natural appearance without the traditional maintenance required.

So for their play area, we opted to fit a synthetic turf around their existing play equipment. The quality of artificial grass we install ensures that a natural look and feel remains, whilst enabling those using the facility to access it all year round, removing the need for cutting and traditional upkeep.

At Soft Surfaces, we’ve been fitting and maintaining artificial grass nationwide for over 20 years now, and we have teams scattered across the country, saving clients money in travel costs.

The other surface we fitted for the tree surrounds at this area was rubber mulch. This surface type is ideal for areas such as these as whilst it provides a natural-looking surface, it also removes the need for traditional tree surround maintenance, making life much easier for those that own the area.

Just like artificial grass, we’ve been fitting rubber mulch nationwide for years now, so please do get in touch if you are interested.

You can see from these images here that the works have been installed, and look tremendous. The client was extremely happy with our work.

When they gave us a ring, the school specified the want for an artificial surface capable of being used all year round that could replicate the feel of playing football on natural grass. It was then mutually agreed that the 3G flooring we offer would be well suited to their needs.

The 3G Surfaces we fit here at Soft Surfaces are a brilliant choice for outdoor sports facilities here in the United Kingdom, as first this flooring type can be used all year round due to it’s synthetic grass build-up. This is perfect for countries like ours with on and off the weather.

Also, another large advantage of these 3G sports surfaces is that the maintenance needed for natural grass is removed, so the same need to trim or regularly monitor your surface is no more. This makes 3G surface ownership much easier than that of a large natural grass field.

The final benefit of the 3G we install is simply the fact that this surface type feels so brilliant to play sports such as football, rugby and more on, as a result of this flooring type replicating the playing feel of this sports brilliantly.

The 3G flooring we fit across the country is amongst the best quality in the market, and that’s why it’s a popular surface type for us to fit nationwide. No matter what size the job you’re looking to have installed, if you are interested in 3G surfacing, please feel free to get in touch.
