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

Educational artificial grass road layout used for scooters and role play

WHAT IS A ROADWAY PLAY TRACK FOR SCHOOLS?

A roadway play track is a road-style artificial grass play surface designed to support learning, movement, and imaginative play in school environments. Using pre-designed roadway layouts — such as junctions, crossings, parking bays, and road markings — these tracks help children engage with road safety concepts through structured play.

Installed as a complete system, roadway play tracks are commonly used for scooter and balance bike training, early years role play, and outdoor learning activities. Unlike painted tarmac or loose playground elements, the artificial grass surface remains soft, non-slip, and usable all year round.

Each roadway play track is professionally installed to suit the site – whether that’s a flat playground, a sloped area, or an integrated play zone alongside other playground features.

  • Road-style layouts: Junctions, crossings, parking bays, and markings.
  • Education-focused: Supports EYFS and KS1 learning through play.
  • All-weather surface: No puddles, mud, or repainting required.

SAFE, NON-SLIP SURFACES DESIGNED FOR SCHOOL PLAY

Safety is essential in any school play environment. That’s why our roadway play tracks are installed using Playcare Extreme artificial grass — a hard-wearing, non-slip surface designed specifically for schools and high-use play areas.

The dense, short pile provides excellent grip for scooters, bikes, and everyday foot traffic, while the stable backing helps keep the surface level and secure over time. Where required, shock pad underlays can be incorporated into the system to improve comfort and impact absorption in designated play zones.

  • Non-slip surface: Designed for scooters, bikes, and active play.
  • Heavy-duty construction: Suitable for daily school use.
  • Optional safety underlays: Added where play zones require extra protection.

BUILT FOR DAILY USE IN BUSY SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS

Roadway play tracks are designed to withstand constant use in busy school settings. The artificial grass fibres resist flattening, maintain colour, and drain efficiently — keeping the surface safe and usable even after heavy rain.

Installed correctly, the track remains level and consistent, without cracking, fading, or repainting. This makes it a practical long-term alternative to tarmac, paint-only layouts, or temporary playground markings.

  • Durable surface: Engineered for high footfall and wheeled play.
  • UV-stable fibres: Colours stay bright without repainting.
  • Low maintenance: Occasional brushing keeps the surface looking its best.

MODULAR ROADWAY LAYOUTS, INSTALLED TO SUIT YOUR SITE

Roadway play tracks use modular roadway elements that can be arranged to suit the available space. Layouts can include straight sections, curves, junctions, crossings, and parking zones — allowing the track to fit naturally within your playground.

While the roadway elements are modular, every installation is planned around the site itself. Ground conditions, slopes, access, and surrounding play features are all considered during installation to ensure the finished track integrates seamlessly into the wider playground.

  • Modular layouts: Flexible arrangements using pre-designed sections.
  • Installed for real sites: Suitable for slopes, tight spaces, and existing play areas.
  • Expandable design: Additional sections can be added later if required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got questions about roadway play tracks, safety, or installation?

Here’s what schools, councils, and education providers usually ask before choosing a road-safety play track for their outdoor space.

A roadway play track is a purpose-built artificial grass surface designed to replicate road layouts for outdoor learning and play.

These tracks often include curves, crossings, junctions, and markings to support road safety education, scooter and balance bike use, and imaginative play.

They’re commonly installed in schools alongside other outdoor learning features such as Daily Mile Tracks and structured playground zones.

Yes. When installed professionally, roadway play tracks provide a non-slip, even surface suitable for daily use by children.

We use short-pile, high-grip artificial grass designed for education environments, ensuring stability for walking, running, scooters, and balance bikes.

Where required, roadway tracks can also be paired with safety underlays to align with wider playground safety planning.

Roadway play tracks are installed using playground-grade artificial grass systems commonly used in school environments.

While roadway tracks are not typically classified as fall-height play equipment, we install them using the same principles applied to
artificial grass for playgrounds and outdoor learning areas.

Where projects integrate with play equipment or higher-risk zones, we can advise on additional safety layers as part of the design.

Yes. Many school sites include slopes, awkward levels, or unused corners.

Our installation process includes full ground preparation and stabilisation to create a level, free-draining base — even on challenging terrain.

This is particularly important for roadway layouts, where accurate gradients and smooth transitions are essential for safe wheeled play.

Roadway play tracks are typically built using modular design elements that are assembled and installed to suit your site.

This allows layouts to be adapted around existing playground features, buildings, or space constraints.

Some schools choose standard roadway layouts, while others opt for expanded or phased installations that can grow over time.

Pricing is therefore offered on a POA (Price on Application) basis.

Most roadway play track installations are completed within a few days, depending on site size, ground conditions, and layout complexity.

Projects are often scheduled during school holidays or weekends to minimise disruption.

Our team regularly delivers education projects alongside artificial grass for schools and nurseries and larger outdoor installations.

Roadway play tracks are priced individually based on size, layout, groundworks, and specification.

As a guide, smaller early-years roadway tracks start from a few thousand pounds, with larger or more complex layouts priced accordingly.

We provide clear, itemised quotes following a site visit, similar to how we price Daily Mile Tracks for Schools and other education installations.

Yes. Roadway play tracks are often installed alongside other artificial grass systems such as playground surfacing, running tracks, or sports areas.

Our team regularly delivers combined projects that integrate roadway tracks with artificial sports pitch installations or wider outdoor learning upgrades.

All roadway play tracks are installed by our own trained, in-house teams – never subcontractors.

This ensures consistent quality, correct ground preparation, and a safe, professional finish.

Every installation is backed by long-term product guarantees and delivered using the same standards applied across our education projects.
