While grass is not a bad surface for a small child to fall on, it gets worn to stones and mud, as here. Rubber crumb surfacing is now very widely used beneath play equipment. Although expensive, it's colourful, free-draining and slightly bouncy on impact and underfoot. In the foreground is a clean and simple brick edging to a tarmac path. Not just for looks, it prevents the tarmac from spreading and cracking.
