What surface works for a school play area?

Depending on use, hard-wearing paving where the traffic concentrates and either a robust turf or artificial turf on the play ground itself. We set out the maintenance each option needs.

Climate

Climate and seasons in Plumtree

Plumtree is hot and semi-arid, with low, erratic summer rainfall, cold winter nights and long dry spells.

Rainfall is low and unreliable, so water-wise planting is the default specification.
Winter nights are cold enough to damage tender species on open ground.
Sandy soils drain quickly and need amendment and mulch to hold moisture.
Border and transport traffic brings dust that settles on paved frontages.

Local conditions in Plumtree

Water-wise indigenous planting and artificial turf suit the rainfall far better than broad lawn.
School and institutional grounds need surfaces that survive heavy daily use.
Transport premises need paving specified for loaded vehicles.
Irrigation is sized to the real water source rather than assumed municipal supply.
