Of all the play surfaces available, only one combines the benefits of design,
technology and safety into one revolutionary, high-performance solution:
PebbleFlex.® It’s quite simply the best playground surfacing in the world.
Unlike traditional poured-in-place surfaces, PebbleFlex utilizes an advanced
bond-in-place technology where millions of pebbles bond together to create an
unparalleled surface that stands up to the demands of weather extremes and
active use. It’s a seamless, resilient surface designed for endless play.
From consultation to installation and beyond,
Landscape Structures is your partner in designing
the perfect PebbleFlex play environment.
We made a breakthrough in surfacing

Durable. In high-use areas,
such as under swings and
slides, a proprietary, clear
aliphatic polyurethane grout
is applied to the surface to
offer even more abrasion
resistance.
Maintainable. The bonded
pebbles withstand detergent
cleaning solutions and
sustain power-washing
of up to 2800 psi. With a
higher cleaning tolerance
and longer life, PebbleFlex
dramatically reduces
maintenance time and costs.
Long Life. With a high-
impact attenuation resulting
from cushioned layers of
recycled rubber and foam,
the life of the surfacing
is extended well beyond
poured-in-place surfaces.
Superior Technology The right chemistry seals the deal. PebbleFlex® is composed of tiny spherical aliphatic polyurethane pebbles that are highly
abrasion resistant and more UV stable than any other surfacing. The pebbles are bonded
together with a clear, flexible, two-part aliphatic polyurethane binder — an exclusive process that
is significantly stronger than typical non-bonded rubber granule surfacing.

Uncompromising SafetyProtection that measures up to an industry-best warranty. Safety and play go hand-in-hand at Landscape Structures. PebbleFlex is tested to accommodate fall
heights of up to and including 12 feet, and meets all safety and accessibility standards. This high-impact
attenuation results from a 1-1/8" layer of SBR recycled rubber and a layer of recycled closed-cell foam.
The thickness of the foam varies depending upon the fall height requirements. (See diagram below,
illustrating the layering system.)
The recycled rubber and foam combination allows for natural expansion and contraction and is water
permeable. A one-of-a-kind surfacing solution.
Sustaining BeautyLet design transform your play environment.PebbleFlex® comes to life in five standard
blended “pebble” colors — along with
15 custom solid colors to coordinate a
look that complements your playground.
Additionally, you can create virtually any
custom graphics to capture a particular
design, be it a city park’s theme or a school’s
mascot. Whether close up or at a distance,
the aesthetic impact of PebbleFlex adds
immense value to your environment. Our
consultants can work with you to determine
the perfect expression.

Industry BestThe product is superior. The service is exceptional.

In high-wear areas a proprietary highly abrasion resistant grout is applied to the surface for added durability.
This is an exclusive product of PebbleFlex. No other surfacing provider has anything like it.
The impact-attenuating layer is composed of a 1-1/8" thick layer of a recycled SBR rubber matrix bonded over a recycled closed-cell foam base. The foam is bonded together with heat and is basically inert — not susceptible to any degradation. The thickness of the foam is dependent upon the fall height requirements. A chemically compatible two-part aromatic primer is applied between each layer.
Traditional poured-in-place surfacing uses only SBR rubber as their impact-attenuating layer. It is very difficult to get a consistent 3" layer of SBR. The surface will have hard spots and soft spots. The one-part aromatic binder will degrade if in continual contact with water. The system is less dimensionally stable.
The pebbles are available in 15 solid colors and five standard color blends making the combinations virtually infinite.
Not available in as many colors, nor are the colors as brilliant as PebbleFlex. Because EPDM and TPV are not UV light-stable colors, they fade rapidly.
The PebbleFlex system can be installed over concrete, asphalt or compacted aggregate base. The foam layer is easy and quick to install. The 1-1/8" SBR layer is much easier to install with consistent density than the 3" used by others for 8' fall heights. Because the pebbles are consistent and round, they trowel much easier than granules and use water-based lubricant as opposed to diesel fuel. PebbleFlex is installed by factory-certified installers that work for Landscape Structures. This simplifies the contract, eliminating subcontractor complications.
Traditional poured-in-place providers do not recommend installing their product over a compacted aggregate base. Subcontractors are often used who are not held responsible for their installation.
PebbleFlex surfacing should be inspected at the same time as the playground equipment. We recommend cleaning the surface at least once a year with a pressure washer and mild detergent. We also recommend applying a clear coat of our two-part aliphatic polyurethane over the entire surface every two or three years – this will greatly extend the life of the system.
Pressure washing of older EPDM surfaces can often result in damage to the surface. Most EPDM surfacing suppliers don’t offer maintenance instructions.
The PebbleFlex system has been tested per the ASTM F1292 Standard to accommodate fall heights to 12'. The system also complies with the ASTM F1951 Accessibility Standard and other standards relating to flame ignition, skid resistance and UV stability.
Some poured-in-place surfacing options are not tested to a 12' fall height.
PebbleFlex is warranted for five years against natural deterioration and manufacturing defects and includes maintaining the impact attenuation requirements.
Competitor’s warranties vary significantly. We have seen warranties of up to 10 years, but do not know what they are warrantying. Some do not warrant their fall height at all.

PebbleFlex Safety Surfacing System
The PebbleFlex wear surface is composed of two sizes of aliphatic polyurethane spheres (pebbles), chemically bonded with a compatible two-part aliphatic polyurethane binder. The two-part binder provides more control of the curing process. This matrix is installed at an average thickness of 3/8", is UV stable and abrasion resistant yet porous enough to eliminate standing water. A vast majority of rain water surface drains when properly installed.
Traditional Poured-in-Place Surfacing
Traditional poured-in-place surfacing uses an EPDM or a TPV granule; neither of which is compatible (doesn’t bond) with the binder. Nor are they as UV stable as PebbleFlex. They use either a one-part aromatic binder (least expensive) or a one-part aliphatic binder, thus eliminating some control of the curing process, resulting in surfaces with limited service life.
