Protecting Play Areas & Extending Equipment Lifespan

Sand is a fantastic resource for play areas, offering children both fun and protection from falls. However, without regular maintenance, sand can degrade, becoming unsafe and requiring full replacement—a costly and time-consuming process.

Neglecting proper sand maintenance can also lead to serious health and safety risks, including bacterial contamination, debris build-up, and impact hazards. If an accident occurs in poorly maintained sand, you may be held liable for failing to meet safety obligations.

At Play Safe and Sound, we strongly believe that routine sand maintenance and playground equipment upkeep are smart investments, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards while avoiding legal risks and unnecessary expenses.

Types of Sand Cleaning Services Available

Our sand cleaning services are tailored to the condition and usage of each playground. We assess factors such as:
✔ Litter & contaminant levels
✔ Grass & weed overgrowth
✔ Depth of cleaning required
✔ Surface leveling needs

Based on these factors, we recommend one of the following services:

🔹 Comprehensive Softfall Sand Cleaning – A deep clean for heavily contaminated areas.
🔹 Routine Maintenance Cleaning – Scheduled cleans to prevent degradation.
🔹 Sanitisation Clean – Natural, organic treatment for bacterial removal.
🔹 Decompaction & Levelling – Improving sand depth and playability.
🔹 Sand Removal & Replacement – Full replacement of non-compliant sand.

Playground Equipment Repainting & Restoration

Over time, playground equipment can become faded, chipped, or damaged, leading to potential safety hazards such as rust, splinters, or exposed metal surfaces. A properly maintained and repainted playground not only extends the life of the equipment but also ensures a safer and more inviting play space for children.

✔ Protect Users – Prevent injuries from rough or damaged surfaces.
✔ Enhance Durability – Our high-quality 2-pack paint systems create a long-lasting protective layer.
✔ Reduce Costs – Repainting is significantly cheaper than replacing entire structures.
✔ Improve Aesthetics – Bright, fresh colours enhance the visual appeal of your playground.
✔ Fast Turnaround – We use low VOC paints that dry quickly for minimal downtime.
