Additional Expertise 

This project builds on our experience across various surfacing disciplines:

Outcome 

Every surfacing zone was installed to meet or exceed fall height and durability requirements. The use of Notts Sward in Olive Green provided a unified visual theme across play, sports, and fitness zones. All areas were sand dressed to manufacturer specifications, ensuring longevity and performance under regular use. As expected with sand-dressed systems, some sand will migrate into the carpet pile over time with use, helping to stabilise the surface and maintain play performance.
