ROAD SAFETY LEARNING STARTS WITH PLAY

A crossing to stop at, a junction to negotiate and a parking bay to aim for: a roadway play track gives children a setting for guided road awareness, role play and movement. We design and install artificial grass road layouts for primary schools, nurseries and early years outdoor spaces.

We plan the route around your available space, the children who will use it and the activities you have in mind. Our team can manage the ground preparation and fitting, or discuss supply options if you already have a contractor.

A REAL ROADWAY PROJECT: ROSA STREET PRIMARY

Two views of the same completed project in Durham: a bespoke roadway within approximately 120m² of new artificial grass surfacing.

Crossings, junctions & parking bays

The road-style layout includes STOP and traffic-light graphics, alongside coloured turf shapes. The markings create clear prompts for supervised role play and road awareness activities.

Full excavation & a new sub-base

The original ground was sloped and patchy. We prepared a new sub-base and extended the initial 85m² plan near the sand pit, bringing the total installed area to around 120m².

Service from survey to installation was second to none and words cannot describe how pleased we are with the final result. Full marks to Reese and the lads for a high quality installation and for being punctual, polite and for tyding up afterwards. Would have no hesitation in recommending the company, 100%. Thank you

Ian came to the house to do a quick survey and discuss the project.  We agreed on a price quicky and easily.  His team were here for one full day then a few hours the next day for a 4mx5m area of grass, some groundwork and moving some flags to form a shed base (which was all including in the very acceptable price!).  Very impressed with their work ethic and efficiency.  Did a neat, professional job and cleaned up after themselves, even putting my gardening tools back in the shed after moving it. Would highly recommend for anyone.

Ian and the team were fantastic. Gave me a competitive quote and advice on a waterlogged area where we wanted Artificial grass and a soak away was also put in. Quote to implementation within 3 weeks which was impressive in a busy period of time. Would recommend to anyone looking to install fake/artificial grass.

From the initial enquiry to the finished product, rest assured this is a professional company.  Ian and his team got on with the job, were neat and tidy throughout the whole process of relaying our old lawn with artificial grass.  We were kept informed at every stage.  All were polite and friendly, all at a very reasonable cost.  I would not have any hesitation in  recommending "As Good As Grass" .

I've had my artificial grass since 2007 and it was looking rather sad full of moss and weeds.  I booked the cleaning service and was amazed at the result, my lawn looks like new.  Reiss and Ethan did a fantastic job they worked very hard. It was unbelievable to see the amount of stuff that came out of the grass, it looks fantastic.   I would recommend this service and the two lads 100%.

I used this company to install some artificial grass on the balcony of my flat in Salford Quays. It was very easy to arrange and the fitters did a great job. Tidy, efficient and friendly and a good price. Highly recommended

PLAN THE ROADWAY AROUND HOW CHILDREN PLAY

Start with the activities: guided road awareness, imaginative journeys, scooters or balance bikes. We can discuss straight sections, curves, junctions, crossings and parking bays, then arrange the layout around your available space.

For wheeled play, tell us the age groups and equipment you use. Route width, turning space, visibility and transitions to adjoining surfaces all need to suit the intended users.

  • Keep entrances and existing paths in mind
  • Agree road markings, colours and learning features
  • Consider supervision and how different activities share the area
Discuss Your Roadway Layout

GET THE GROUNDWORK RIGHT

The finished surface depends on what is underneath it. We assess the existing ground, levels, drainage, access and edges before proposing the base preparation. Sloping ground needs an individual assessment; laying turf alone will not correct it.

At Rosa Street Primary, the work included excavation and a new Type 1 and sand sub-base. Your school may need a different specification, which we agree after assessing the site.

  • Confirm excavation and waste removal
  • Plan drainage and changes in level
  • Detail joins, edges and connections to existing paths
Discuss Your Site Conditions

PLAN FOR EVERYDAY USE & UPKEEP

Artificial grass avoids mowing, but it still needs care. Remove leaves and debris, keep drainage routes clear and check the track’s edges, joins and markings as part of the school’s routine inspections. Follow the care guidance for the chosen turf and markings.

Staff should assess conditions before use, particularly in frost, ice or after heavy rain. Confirm the product and workmanship guarantee terms, maintenance requirements and exclusions in your quote.

THREE DETAILS THAT HELP US PLAN YOUR TRACK

Bring these to your first conversation with our team.

WHO WILL USE IT?

Tell us the pupil age groups, likely group sizes and whether the track is for walking, ride-on toys, scooters or balance bikes. Include any mobility or sensory needs so the layout and surface can be considered with your staff.

WHAT SPACE IS AVAILABLE?

A rough plan, dimensions and a few photos help us understand the area. Note slopes, gates, drains, trees and neighbouring play equipment, plus access for the installation team.

WHAT NEEDS TO FIT AROUND IT?

Think about routes to classrooms, other play activities and supervision. Share your budget and preferred dates, including any school-holiday window or wider grounds works.

ROADWAY PLAY TRACK COSTS & QUOTATION

Use these guide prices as a starting point for budget discussions. Each project is quoted individually: the total surfaced area, roadway layout, ground conditions, drainage and access all affect the cost.

Example projectIndicative surfaced areaGuide starting price
Early years roadway play area60–80m²From £4,000; subject to site and specification
Primary school roadway play area85–100m²From £5,500; subject to site and specification
Roadway project with more involved groundworks100–120m²From £7,000; subject to site and specification
Larger or expanded layout120m²+Individual quotation

Confirm whether the quoted area includes the surrounding green turf as well as the roadway. Your written proposal should set out excavation and disposal, the base and drainage work, turf and markings, edging, delivery and installation.

Ask for the VAT-inclusive total, any exclusions, proposed dates and guarantee terms before ordering. Supply-only requirements are quoted separately.

ROADWAY PLAY TRACK INSTALLATION FAQS

It is an artificial grass play area with road-style features such as bends, junctions, crossings and parking bays. Staff can use it for guided road awareness and imaginative play. It is a different layout from a running circuit: Daily Mile tracks are designed around repeated laps.

That use needs to be included in the design brief. Tell us the age groups and the equipment you use so we can discuss the surface, route width, turning space, gradients and transitions. Staff supervision, routine checks and the school’s assessment of conditions remain part of everyday use.

The specification depends on the activities and any neighbouring play equipment. If the roadway enters an equipment impact area, the complete installed surfacing system needs to be suitable for the equipment’s free height of fall and required impact area, supported by appropriate test information. Artificial grass alone is not evidence of fall protection. Discuss this during the survey; see our shock pad and safety surfacing guidance and RoSPA’s play surfacing advice.

We assess the gradient, ground conditions, drainage and intended use before recommending a design. Some sites need excavation, changes to levels or additional base work. Rosa Street Primary is one example of work on a sloped site; it does not mean every slope will suit the same solution.

Yes. We discuss roadway elements and bespoke details that fit the available area and the school’s activities. Crossings, junctions, parking bays and coloured learning features can form part of the agreed design. Confirm the marking method and its care requirements in the specification.

Our guide examples start at £4,000 for 60–80m², £5,500 for 85–100m² and £7,000 for 100–120m² with more involved groundworks. These are starting points, not fixed package prices. The final quote depends on your site, surfaced area and specification; confirm the VAT-inclusive total and exclusions.

We confirm a programme after assessing the site and agreeing the scope. Groundworks, access, weather and layout complexity affect the duration. Tell us about school holidays, restricted access times or other contractors so we can plan the work with you.

Clear leaves and debris, follow the specified brushing and cleaning guidance, and inspect joins, edges and markings for wear or damage. Drainage routes need to remain clear. Artificial grass is not maintenance-free; our maintenance and repair team can help with existing surfaces.

We can discuss supply-only options for a prepared base or a project managed by your own contractor. Before ordering, agree the layout, products, base requirements, delivery, fitting materials and who is responsible for each part of the work. We also offer full supply and installation.

LET’S PLAN YOUR SCHOOL’S ROADWAY PLAY TRACK

Tell us your school name, postcode, approximate area and how pupils will use the track. Include the existing surface, preferred installation dates and whether you want full installation or supply only.

A rough plan and photos are useful too. Send them with your enquiry or email sales@asgoodasgrass.co.uk so we can discuss the next steps for a free site survey and quotation.
