Need a safety surface that blends into natural surroundings, works on uneven ground, and doesn’t require deep groundwork? Rubber Mulch Surfacing is the perfect solution.
At Ace Resin, we install bonded rubber mulch systems that offer year-round safety, durability, and low-maintenance performance, ideal for woodland play areas, school grounds, parks, and landscapes where traditional surfacing simply won’t hold up.
Rubber mulch is a bound safety surface made from recycled shredded rubber, mixed with a high-performance resin binder and laid directly onto the existing ground. It mimics the look of natural bark, but won’t rot, displace, or degrade like loose-fill materials.
Whether you’re resurfacing a worn bark pit or working on sloped or irregular ground, rubber mulch provides a long-lasting, CFH-compliant solution—without the disruption of full groundworks.
Rubber mulch offers more than just a safe surface—it’s a practical solution for complex sites, tight budgets, and natural settings. Here’s why it’s trusted by schools, councils, and landscapers alike:
Talk to an expertInstalled directly over grass mats, paving, compacted earth, or old bark—no need for sub-base excavation or raised edging.
Earth-toned finishes that blend seamlessly into rural or heritage environments without compromising on safety.
Conforms to uneven surfaces, tree roots, slopes, and awkward shapes with minimal disruption and maximum durability.
Quick turnaround—most areas are ready for use within 24–48 hours.
Meets Critical Fall Height (CFH) requirements, protecting users in active play zones or around equipment.
Made from recycled rubber shred, helping to reduce waste while delivering long-lasting performance.
Rubber Mulch is perfect for:
Rubber mulch is trowelled in place, bonding tightly to the ground below. It forms a consistent, slip-resistant surface that requires little upkeep—making it ideal for spaces that are hard to access or prone to wear and tear. Unlike bark or gravel, it won’t blow away, rot, or need constant topping up.
From schools and councils to landscape contractors and architects, clients across the UK trust Ace Resin to deliver practical, high-quality safety surfacin,without unnecessary complexity.

Rubber Pour SurfacingRubber mulch is built to last. Unlike loose bark that breaks down or shifts over time, bonded rubber mulch stays firmly in place and won’t rot, even in wet or shaded areas. With proper installation and light upkeep, you can expect it to last around 8–10 years, sometimes longer depending on how heavily the area is used.
Not usually. One of the biggest advantages of rubber mulch is that it can often be installed straight over existing surfaces—whether that’s compacted earth, worn bark, grass mats, or artificial turf. That means less disruption, no digging out, and a much faster turnaround.
Yes. Safety is at the heart of what we do. Rubber mulch is installed to meet Critical Fall Height (CFH) standards, so it’s suitable for use around play equipment, trails, and any area where a soft, impact-absorbing surface is needed. We’ll assess your site and recommend the right depth for full compliance.
It’s actually ideal for that. Because rubber mulch is trowelled in place, it follows the shape of the land—even around tree roots, mounds, or awkward corners. It’s a great choice for natural spaces where traditional surfacing struggles to stay put.
Most projects are completed in just a day or two. The material sets quickly and is ready to use within 24–48 hours, so there’s very little downtime, especially useful for schools, parks, or public spaces that need to stay accessible.
