Discover the Alamanda College Project

Alamanda College enlisted our services to enhance their outdoor spaces by mulching their playground and the areas between portable classrooms. Using our state-of-the-art blower truck, we efficiently spread 75m³ of Softfall Mulch in the playground and 505m³ of Mossrock 12mm Mulch between the portables.

To maximise efficiency and minimise disruption to the school’s activities, we implemented a strategic combination of our blower and slinger trucks. The blower truck was stationed on-site with a hose for precise application, eliminating the need for repeated trips with wheelbarrows. And when the blower truck required refilling with mulch, our slinger truck swiftly delivered mulch directly into the blower unit to maintain a seamless, uninterrupted operation.

This innovative approach allowed us to complete the installation of our Mossrock Mulch in just three days, significantly reducing the time compared to conventional methods. Our commitment to delivering swift and efficient solutions tailored to our clients’ needs is exemplified by our ability to complete complex projects with minimal disruption.

Why Softfall Mulch?

• Safety standards: Softfall Mulch meets safety standards for impact-absorbing playground surfaces, reducing the severity of fall injuries, crucial for children’s safety during play.
• Impact absorption: Designed to cushion falls, it offers safer play compared to hard surfaces like concrete or gravel, absorbing energy to lower injury risks.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair accessible, providing a stable surface for children of varying abilities to play without barriers.
• Durability: Requires minimal maintenance, withstands weather and wear, maintaining its safety properties over time.
• Aesthetic appeal: Enhances playgrounds with a natural look, complementing overall design and landscaping.

Why Mossrock Mulch?

• Erosion control: Stabilises soil and prevents erosion, ideal for sloped or disturbed terrain.
• Moisture retention: Excellent at retaining moisture, reducing watering needs, especially beneficial in dry climates.
• Weed suppression: Naturally suppresses weeds, reducing the need for chemical control and minimising maintenance efforts.
• Aesthetic appeal: Natural appearance blends well with surroundings, enhancing landscaped areas.
• Soil improvement: Breaks down over time, enriching soil with organic matter for healthier plants and sustainable landscapes.
• Environmental benefits: Promotes sustainability by reducing erosion, conserving water, and minimising chemical use.
