In the Sudbury region, a deck, patio, walkway, step or garage floor that is already in place takes rubber surfacing for eight to sixteen dollars per square foot as a rule. Playgrounds come in at fifteen to thirty dollars or more per square foot, the pour being several times deeper. A minimum charge covers the smallest jobs, and the number that counts is on the written quote once the free site visit is done.
Rubber surfacing stays flexible at thirty below and does not spall, because meltwater drains through it instead of freezing inside it. A plastic-edged shovel or a snowblower clears snow off it, and salt does not attack it the way salt attacks concrete. The long deep freeze and the fast spring thaw that wreck a Sudbury slab do not bother it.
Rubber surfacing colours come from EPDM granules, which are virgin rubber tinted the whole way through, so tans, greys, blues, greens, reds and blends are all available, and two colours can be mixed for a speckled look. Black SBR is the recycled option and is normally used for garages, gyms and the cushion layer under a coloured playground surface.
A pool deck, patio, walkway, step or driveway gets rubber surfacing roughly ten to twelve millimetres deep, which is three-eighths of an inch to one half. A garage floor or a gym goes heavier, as much as three-quarters. A playground begins around one and a half inches and may pass four, and every zone's depth follows how far a child can fall from the equipment.
The morning after the pour, rubber surfacing is ready to walk on. Vehicles, furniture and heavy equipment wait two full days and sometimes three. Warm, dry Sudbury days in July cure faster; a cool, damp week in late September takes the full three days.
Concrete, asphalt, interlock and pavers, stamped concrete, wood decks, compacted stone and old worn rubber are all fine under rubber surfacing. The old surface is not removed; it turns into the base. It cannot be poured over old sealer, paint, oil, a wet slab or crumbling material; those are dealt with first.
A hairline or static crack disappears under rubber surfacing, and those are most of the cracks on a Sudbury slab that sits on Canadian Shield rock and fill. A crack still growing wider from one winter to the next is a moving crack, and it is repaired or cut before the pour, otherwise it would eventually show through.
A hose, a broom or mild detergent and water clean it. Harsh solvents are avoided. Snow is shovelled normally, salt is fine, and a fresh binder coat every few years keeps the granules locked tight and extends its life. Preparation at install decides how long it lasts, and that is where most of the first day goes.
Playground rubber surfacing depth is fixed by the tallest fall the equipment allows. A low toddler climber might need an inch and a half; a tall school climber or a swing set can need three to four inches or more. The site visit records the height of every piece and the quote lists the thickness for each zone.
Outdoor rubber surfacing is poured when the surface is dry and the temperature has reached about ten degrees and is climbing, which in Greater Sudbury runs from roughly late April to October. Indoor floors such as gyms and garages can be done outside that window. June and July fill quickly with pool decks, so an early visit secures a spot.
