What is soft fall rubber?
Soft fall is an impact-absorbing layer often seen in playground surfaces or other outdoor environments to absorb impact from falls and prevent injuries. Soft fall is typically poured in the form of wet pour rubber, synthetic grass, or wood chips with the type of soft fall determined by a range of factors including playground equipment height or specified by the playground equipment supplier to ensure a safe space for play.

How do I know if soft fall is right for me?
Whether you operate a business in childcare services or you’re looking to install a play area in your home, safety is paramount. Although it’s not possible to remove risk entirely, you can play your part in minimising risk by providing a cushion if children jump or fall from play equipment. Soft fall surfacing is required by law to meet Australian Standards AS 4422 for playground safety.
At Surface Group Pro, our soft fall surfaces are AS 4422 Compliant. The objective of this Standard is to minimise the severity of head injury resulting from a fall from the play equipment to the surface below.

We use high quality bark and wood chips and certified soft fall sand. Our synthetic surface and soft fall experts will talk you through the installation steps for your unique project which may include surface levelling, substrate stabilisation and soil removal.
With a commitment to excellence, our emphasis on safety and quality means we only work with leading products and brands to deliver a play area, backyard or space that isn’t just aesthetically pleasing but offers maximum protection too.
We take the stress out of soft fall safety and compliance
When it comes to playgrounds and outdoor equipment, bounce is bad. Though rubber surfaces provide bounce, this can result in injuries when children slip or fall. At Surface Group Pro, we remove the stress and help minimise injuries with fully compliant and safe soft fall installations on the Gold Coast & Brisbane. With safety as our #1 priority, we ensure every project meets – and exceeds – the rigorous Australian Standards. Following installation by our team of expert installers, we will issue a Certificate of Compliance.
As per the Australian Standard, hard surfacing surfaces need to be tested for compliance every 3 years. Unsure if your current playground or setting meets legal requirements? Get in touch on 1300 521 612 to speak to a member of the Surface Pro Group team to organise testing and meet your compliance obligations with confidence.

Is grass considered soft fall?
In terms of playground safety, grass isn’t usually regarded as a “soft fall” substance. Soft fall materials are those that lessen the chance of injuries from falls on playgrounds by providing impact attenuation.
What is the best soft fall for playgrounds?
The ideal soft fall material for playgrounds is determined by a number of variables, including cost, aesthetics, maintenance needs, and safety regulations. Rubber mulch, pea gravel, rubber tiles or mats, poured-in-place rubber, and engineered wood fiber (EWF) are typical possibilities.
How thick is soft fall?
Playground soft fall material thickness usually varies according to the particular material being used and the safety regulations in use. To offer sufficient impact attenuation and guarantee safety in the event of a fall, standard recommendations call for loose-fill materials like rubber mulch, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or pea gravel to be placed at least 6 to 12 inches deep.
