When it comes to creating safe, stunning, and long-lasting outdoor spaces, FLOCO Rubber Surfacinghas become the go-to choice for splash pads, pool decks, playgrounds, lanais, and more. As a family and veteran-owned business rooted in Southwest Florida, we take pride in being the rubber surfacing experts who turn ordinary spaces into extraordinary ones.
Recently, we had the opportunity to completely transform a commercial splash pad that had seen better days. The original surface was poorly installed with subpar materials, causing cracks, fading, and water drainage issues. But with our FLOCO touch, we turned it into a vibrant beach-inspired paradise complete with custom turtle inlays—a transformation that truly speaks for itself.
Let’s dive into the reasons why FLOCO Rubber Surfacing is the top choice for commercial and residential spaces, and why our work continues to stand out from the competition.
The FLOCO Difference: A Recent Splash Pad Transformation
Before we get into the details, let’s talk about our recent splash pad project. The original surface had significant problems:
• Fading colors made it uninviting.
• Poor drainage caused standing water and safety hazards.
• Cheap materials led to cracking and peeling.
We went beyond just fixing these issues. We created an immersive beach-themed splash pad with vibrant colors, smooth finishes, and adorable custom turtle inlays scattered throughout. Now, families can enjoy a plush, cushioned surface that is heat and slip-resistant, ensuring kids can play freely while parents relax worry-free.
Check out the transformation video in this post—you have to see it to believe it!
This project showcases not just our commitment to quality but also our passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces that bring joy to communities.
Why Choose FLOCO Rubber Surfacing for Splash Pads, Pool Decks, and More?
When it comes to rubber surfacing, not all products—or installers—are created equal. Here are the top reasons why FLOCO Rubber Surfacing is the right choice for your next project:
1. Safety First: Slip-Resistant and Cushioned Surface
Safety is our number one priority, especially for spaces where kids play and families gather. FLOCO Rubber Surfacing provides:
• Slip-resistance, even when wet.
• Shock absorption, reducing the risk of injuries from falls.
• Heat resistance, keeping surfaces comfortable even on the hottest Florida days.
Whether it’s a splash pad, pool deck, or playground, you can rest assured that safety is built right into the design.
2. Long-Lasting Durability
Our rubber surfacing is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, weather exposure, and daily wear and tear. When installed correctly (and we pride ourselves on perfect installation every time), our surfaces can last 15+ years with minimal maintenance.
This means lower long-term costs and more time enjoying the space, rather than worrying about repairs.
3. Drainage Done Right
Improper drainage can ruin any rubber surface over time. Standing water leads to mold, mildew, and surface damage. At FLOCO, we prioritize expert preparation before we even begin installing.
We correct any drainage or standing water issues beforehand to ensure that your surface stays dry, clean, and damage-free for years to come.
4. Fully Customizable Designs
Why settle for cookie-cutter designs when you can have a space that’s uniquely yours? Our talented in-house design team works with you to create custom color blends, intricate inlays, and even luminous and LED additions.

Every FLOCO project is designed to be a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
5. Comfort Underfoot
Unlike concrete, tile, or traditional pavers, our rubber surfacing is soft and comfortable underfoot. Whether you’re walking barefoot on a pool deck or playing on a splash pad, the surface feels plush and luxurious.
This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces where people want to spend time.
6. Low Maintenance, High Value
Our rubber surfacing doesn’t just look good—it’s easy to maintain, too. With minimal upkeep, your space will continue to shine for years.
Forget about weeds growing between pavers, slippery tiles, or constant resealing. FLOCO Rubber Surfacing is a low-maintenance dream.
7. Environmentally Friendly
We care about our planet, and our materials reflect that. Our rubber surfacing uses eco-friendly, sustainable materials sourced right here in the USA.
Choosing FLOCO means choosing a product that’s good for your space and good for the environment.
