Why FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing for Alabama Playgrounds:

FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing is a cornerstone of safe and inclusive playground spaces, particularly in Alabama, where outdoor play is a year-round passion despite intense heat and frequent rain. According to the CPSC, falls account for over 70% of playground-related injuries, and nationwide more than 200,000 children visit emergency rooms annually because of playground falls. The majority of life-threatening injuries occur when children fall onto hard, unyielding surfaces or onto loose-fill materials that have thinned out and lost their protective depth. FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing eliminates that risk entirely by providing a seamless, shock-absorbing layer that maintains consistent critical fall height protection for the life of the playground surface—often 12–15 years or longer with proper care.

Unlike traditional loose-fill surfaces such as wood chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), rubber mulch, sand, or pea gravel—which constantly shift, scatter, kick out, and degrade—FallZone Poured-in-Place Playground Surfacing creates a permanent, unified cushion that never needs “topping off.” Children playing vigorously, wind, rain, heavy thunderstorms, and even lawn mowers displace loose-fill material, often leaving bare spots under swings, slide exits, and climbing structures—the exact places where the most severe falls occur. Independent testing labs repeatedly find that 60–80% of loose-fill playgrounds fail fall-height safety tests within 1–3 years of installation because the material has migrated or compacted. FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing, by contrast, is tested and certified at the time of installation and retains its impact-attenuation performance decade after decade.

Beyond safety, FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing dramatically improves accessibility and inclusivity. Loose-fill surfaces are notorious barriers for wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, and children with motor challenges. Even a few inches of wood mulch or rubber mulch can stop a wheelchair dead or cause a child with braces to trip. FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing provides a firm, stable, completely seamless surface that exceeds ADA requirements for accessible routes, turning every corner of the playground into usable space for every child.

Long-term cost-effective playground surface solution for Alabama school playgrounds & parks with FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing:

Long-term cost is another compelling reason Alabama schools and municipalities are switching to FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing. A typical 5,000 sq ft playground with 12-inch loose-fill EWF costs approximately $15,000–$20,000 initially, but requires 20–40% replenishment every 1–3 years. Over a 12-year lifespan, the total cost of ownership for loose-fill often exceeds $75,000–$100,000+. FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing has a higher upfront investment (typically $12–$18 per sq ft installed), yet the total 12–15 year cost is usually 30–50% lower because there is no annual replenishment, minimal sweeping, and virtually no downtime.
