Top 10 Benefits of Rubber Surfacing for Residential Properties

Welcome to the world of rubber surfacing, where practicality meets style, and your backyard becomes the envy of the neighborhood. If you’ve been searching for a solution to transform your pool deck, driveway, or patio into something safe, durable, and jaw-droppingly gorgeous, you’re in the right place. At FLOCO Decking Systems, we’re not just experts in rubber surfacing—we’re family-owned, veteran-operated, and totally dedicated to giving Southwest Florida homes the upgrades they deserve.





Let’s dive into why rubber surfacing is quickly becoming the go-to solution for homeowners. Here are the top 10 benefits of rubber surfacing for residential properties (spoiler: you’ll want to get Flocofied by the end).


1. Safety First, Always


Let’s face it—Florida is hot, humid, and often slippery. Whether it’s the kiddos running around the pool deck or your favorite uncle who insists on flip-flops year-round, safety is non-negotiable. Rubber surfacing is naturally slip-resistant, offering peace of mind in wet conditions.


Beyond that, it’s cushioned and impact-absorbing. If someone trips, it’s a softer, safer landing than concrete or tile. Perfect for families with young kids or anyone who values their ankles.


Bonus: It’s also heat-resistant, so no more dancing across burning pool decks during summer.


2. Durability That Stands the Test of Time


Southwest Florida weather can be unforgiving. Between scorching sun, heavy rains, and the occasional hurricane, outdoor surfaces need to be tough. FLOCO’s rubber surfacing isn’t just durable—it’s a beast.


It resists cracks, chips, and wear-and-tear better than traditional materials like concrete or pavers. Our rubber surfacing lasts 15+ years, meaning you’re making a long-term investment in your home’s beauty and functionality.


3. Custom Designs to Fit Your Style


Gone are the days of boring beige patios and basic pool decks. With rubber surfacing, the design possibilities are endless. Choose from a wide range of colors, create custom blends, and even add inlays like family crests or tropical motifs.


Want your pool deck to look like a sandy beach? We’ve got you. Prefer sleek, modern vibes for your patio? Say no more. Our in-house design team will make your vision a reality.


4. Say Goodbye to Ugly Cracks and Stains


Cracked concrete and stained tiles are so yesterday. Rubber surfacing not only hides imperfections but prevents new ones from forming. It’s applied seamlessly over existing surfaces, filling in cracks and creating a smooth, flawless finish.


And those pesky stains from pool chemicals, leaves, or mildew? Rubber surfacing is highly resistant to discoloration, keeping your space looking fresh and fabulous year-round.


5. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable


At FLOCO, we’re big fans of doing right by the environment. Our rubber surfacing uses recycled materials, turning old tires into stunning new spaces. It’s a win-win: you get a beautiful, functional surface while helping reduce waste.


Plus, the durability of rubber surfacing means fewer replacements and less material waste over time. You’re not just upgrading your home—you’re making a sustainable choice for the planet.


6. Easy Maintenance


Let’s be real—no one wants to spend their weekends scrubbing pool decks or power-washing patios. Rubber surfacing is as low-maintenance as it gets. A quick rinse with a hose or occasional pressure washing is all it takes to keep it looking brand new.


No sealing, no repainting, no weeds popping up between pavers. Just clean, effortless beauty.


7. Comfort Underfoot


Ever walked barefoot on a scalding pool deck or jagged pavers? Ouch. Rubber surfacing is not only heat-resistant but also soft and cushioned underfoot.


Whether you’re hosting a pool party or just enjoying your morning coffee on the patio, you’ll love the comfort it provides. It’s a little luxury your feet will thank you for.


8. Perfect for Florida’s Unique Needs


Rubber surfacing isn’t just any outdoor solution—it’s practically tailor-made for Florida.

Drainage Solutions: Tired of standing water after every rainstorm? Rubber surfacing helps improve drainage, preventing puddles and reducing slip risks.

UV Resistance: Our rubber surfacing holds up to intense sunlight without fading or degrading.

Mold and Mildew Resistance: Florida’s humidity is no match for our materials. Rubber surfacing resists mold and mildew, keeping your space safe and sanitary.


9. Adds Value to Your Home


Whether you’re planning to stay in your home forever or eventually sell, investing in rubber surfacing is a smart move. It boosts curb appeal, enhances functionality, and sets your home apart from others in the market.


Potential buyers love the idea of a low-maintenance, safe, and stylish outdoor space. It’s a feature that practically sells itself.


10. We’re Not Just Contractors—We’re Artists
