Frequently Asked Questions

Black recycled rubber is the economical rubber surfacing material and the right choice where nobody looks at the floor, such as a garage, a driveway or a barn aisle. Coloured rubber costs more, keeps its colour in direct sun, and is what pool decks, patios and playgrounds get. Coloured over black is common and gives the look of one for closer to the price of the other.

A driveway, garage floor, patio or pool deck normally takes a single day to pour and is ready one to two days later. A large playground or a phased commercial job takes longer. Once the area has been measured at the visit, you get a firm timeline.

Very little. A rubber surface normally wants nothing more than a sweep or a hose-down, and there is no sealing schedule. After years of heavy use the wear layer can be renewed, and we give you a rough idea of when that will be for your surface.

No. Unless the slab and the air are both warm enough the rubber will not cure, so Richmond Hill pours run from spring to fall. We watch the forecast before booking, and a cold snap moves the date rather than risking a surface that never sets.

Any outdoor surface fades a little in sun over the years. Because the pigment is inside the granule, coloured rubber holds its colour far better than stained concrete or a painted coating, and a UV-stable binder slows the fade further still. Black rubber has no pigment to lose.

No. The texture is part of the surface itself, and it stays the same wet or dry, which is the reason rubber surfacing gets used around pools, on steps and in barns.

Yes. Rubber surfacing on a driveway or a garage floor shrugs off road salt, de-icer and dripped oil that would pit bare concrete over one Richmond Hill winter. Spills wipe off rather than soaking in.

It depends on the use. A patio takes less than a driveway, and a driveway takes less than a playground under a tall structure. We set the thickness at the visit and write it into the quote.

Most of the time. Our standard range usually holds a colour that matches or suits the house trim, the yard or the surface next to it. Borders and patterns are extras, priced in writing.

Yes. The quote is a written record of the product, the thickness and the area, and we stand behind the work. Terms differ with the surface and the material, and you see yours in writing before work starts.

Richmond Hill Rubber Surfacing installs rubber surfacing over pitted, cracked and salt-damaged driveways and garage floors, and the concrete underneath never has to be broken out.

Playground Safety Surfacing

Richmond Hill Rubber Surfacing pours seamless rubber playground surfacing for schools, daycares, parks, churches and backyards, with the thickness set by the height of the equipment it sits under. The surface is a cushioning base layer under a coloured wear layer, it drains through, and it stays where it is poured instead of migrating like mulch or pea gravel. We carry full insurance on every job.
