Playground Surfacing for Landscape Contractors

Your landscape work deserves a surfacing partner who holds themselves to the same standard you do.

Landscape contractors are the lead on some of the most complex playground and park projects in Canada. You're managing grading, hardscaping, planting, and equipment installation simultaneously — the last thing you need is a surfacing subcontractor who shows up unprepared, holds up your schedule, or leaves a mess for your crew to deal with.

Softline works with landscape contractors across Canada as a reliable surfacing subcontractor who understands how playground surfacing fits into a broader site development schedule. Our crews specialize in commercial rubber surfacing installation, coordinate directly with your site supervisors, and are experienced completing installations around finished landscaping and equipment without disrupting surrounding work.
