As a family-owned, veteran-operated business, we’ve built our reputation on transforming outdoor spaces with safe, stunning, and durable rubber surfaces. Now, we’re bringing those same high-quality solutions and hometown values to the Tampa Bay region. Whether you’re a business owner in downtown Tampa, a homeowner in Sarasota, or managing a community space in St. Pete, our team is ready to deliver the plush, slip-resistant, and long-lasting results FLOCO is known for.

Splash Pad Project Makes a Splash in Tampa Bay

A local splash pad transformed with FLOCO’s rubber surfacing, offering a vibrant and safe play area for kids.

Recently, our crew had the opportunity to revamp a popular splash pad in the Tampa Bay area – and the results turned heads. The once-faded play zone was plagued by cracks and poor drainage that took away from its charm and safety. FLOCO stepped in with a beach-inspired design featuring a playful sea-turtle inlay and a seamless new surface. We eliminated the cracks, improved drainage, and installed our thick, safely padded, heat and slip resistant rubber surfacing. Now, kids dash through spraying fountains on a soft, cushioned ground, and parents can relax knowing the surface is slip-resistant and gentler on falls. The custom sea turtle and ocean-blue color scheme aren’t just adorable – they showcase FLOCO’s ability to inlay almost any design into the surface, from logos to beloved characters. This splash pad is now a showpiece for what FLOCO can do: turning a worn-out space into a fun, safe oasis for families to enjoy.

Benefits of FLOCO Rubber Surfacing for Your Space

Upgrading to a FLOCO rubber surface comes with significant benefits for both commercial and residential spaces. Here are a few reasons why property owners across Florida are raving about our surfacing solutions:

• Unbeatable Safety & Comfort: FLOCO rubber surfacing provides a soft, cushioned layer that is slip-resistant, greatly reducing the risk of injuries from falls. Around pools, playgrounds, or splash pads, it offers peace of mind that hard concrete or slick pavers just can’t match.

• Extreme Durability: Built to endure heavy foot traffic, harsh sun, and Florida’s weather, our surfaces won’t crack, fade, or deteriorate even after years of use . In fact, with simple upkeep, a FLOCO rubber surface can last well over 15 years while looking as good as new. That means a great return on investment for commercial properties and long-term enjoyment for homeowners.

• Cooler, Heat-Resistant Surface: Tired of burning your feet on hot pavement? FLOCO’s material is heat-resistant, staying comfortable even under the Florida sun. Our rubber surfaces remain cooler to the touch than concrete, making pool decks and play areas enjoyable even in peak summer. No more tip-toeing across a scorching pool deck – with FLOCO, you can walk comfortably.

• Customizable Design: Why settle for boring gray concrete when you can have a surface that reflects your style or brand? FLOCO rubber surfacing comes in a wide array of colors and blends, and our state-of-the-art design team can incorporate custom inlays. We can embed logos, patterns, or mascots directly into the surface – perfect for businesses or a personal touch at home. (If our recent splash pad project taught us anything, it’s that a little creativity – hello, sea turtle! – goes a long way in wowing your visitors.)

Transforming Commercial & Residential Spaces in Tampa, Sarasota, and St. Pete

With our expansion into these new areas, we’re excited to partner with local businesses and homeowners to elevate their outdoor spaces. No project is too big or small – or too unusual – for FLOCO. Our versatile installation process means rubber surfacing can be applied over nearly any solid base (concrete, pavers, wood, you name it). This opens up a world of possibilities for rejuvenating old surfaces all around Tampa Bay:

• Commercial properties: Hotels, water parks, schools, and daycare centers in Tampa and St. Petersburg can turn aging pool decks or playgrounds into vibrant, branded attractions. Imagine a hotel splash pad with your logo inlay, or a daycare play area with extra padding for safety – we can make it happen. Businesses choose FLOCO because we deliver on both style and safety, creating spaces that patrons remember and trust. Plus, our rubber surfacing is ADA-compliant and non-slip, an important factor for public venues.

• Residential spaces: Homeowners in Sarasota and surrounding areas are discovering the joy of a backyard upgrade that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Whether you want a cooler, safer pool deck for the kids, a refreshed patio that’s comfy underfoot, or even a rubberized driveway accent, we provide a luxurious finish that transforms the look of your home. And unlike rough concrete or splintering wood, our surface is forgiving on bare feet (and pet paws too!). It’s an investment in your home’s value and your family’s well-being.

Tampa Bay’s Best Rubber Surfacing – See How FLOCO is Transforming Splash Pads, Pool Decks & More!

When it comes to creating safe, fun, and beautiful outdoor spaces in Florida, FLOCO Rubber Surfacing is leading the charge. From Tampa Bay to Sarasota to St. Pete, this family-owned and veteran-operated company is turning ordinary concrete areas into extraordinary showpieces. In this post, we’ll take you on a tour of two recent FLOCO projects – a community HOA makeover in Sarasota and a splash pad transformation in Tampa – to show how rubber surfacing is revolutionizing playgrounds, pool decks, splash pads and more. Prepare for a warm and witty inside look at how FLOCO’s team treats customers like family and delivers results that will make you say “wow!”

A Family-Owned Approach to Rubber Surfacing in Tampa Bay

What makes FLOCO stand out in the Tampa Bay area isn’t just the top-quality materials or craftsmanship – it’s the people behind the product. As a family-owned and operated business (with proud veteran ties), FLOCO brings a personal touch to every project. You’re not just another client to them; you’re a neighbor and a friend. This warm, friendly approach means the FLOCO team takes the time to understand your needs and vision. They’ve built a reputation across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and beyond for treating every project like it’s in their own backyard. 😊

That family-driven ethic shows in the quality of work and customer service. Communication is clear and frequent, and no question is too small. Whether it’s a pool deck in St. Pete or a playground in Tampa, FLOCO’s team prides itself on making the process feel like a partnership. They even infuse a bit of fun and wit into the journey – after all, transforming a drab concrete slab into a cushioned, colorful oasis should be an enjoyable experience! It’s this combination of professionalism and personal care that has Tampa Bay area customers raving and referring their friends. Now, let’s dive into those project spotlights to see the FLOCO magic in action.

Sarasota HOA Project Spotlight – A Community Makeover

There’s nothing better than seeing an entire community come together around a fresh new space. Recently, FLOCO completed an HOA community project in Sarasota, and the results have this neighborhood buzzing. Here’s what went down at this Sarasota HOA and how it improved the community:

The Challenge: The HOA’s common area – particularly the aging pool deck and surrounding walkways – was in rough shape. The old concrete had more cracks than a dry lakebed and was becoming a slip-and-fall hazard whenever it rained (which in Florida is basically every afternoon!). The once-inviting pool area looked dated and unwelcoming, and the HOA board knew it needed an upgrade that was safe, durable, and attractive. They wanted a solution that would make residents proud of their community space again, without causing a maintenance nightmare or blowing the budget.

FLOCO’s Solution: Enter FLOCO’s rubber surfacing team, ready to save the day. FLOCO worked closely with the HOA board and residents to design a custom rubber surfacing overlay for the pool deck and walkways. They chose a color blend that complemented the community’s style (goodbye boring gray, hello luxury resort vibes!). The installation included a thick, cushioned layer of rubber surfacing seamlessly applied over the existing concrete. The surface was finished to be slip-resistant (no more worrying about Grandma or the kids taking a tumble by the pool) and UV-stable so it can handle Sarasota’s sunshine without fading.

During installation, the FLOCO crew’s family-oriented approach shone through. They coordinated work schedules to minimize disruption for residents and even took time to chat with curious homeowners about the process. (We heard there might have been a few jokes shared about how the old concrete was officially put into retirement 😄.) In just a short time, the dull and cracked pool deck was transformed into a soft, safe, and stylish gathering spot.

Community Improvements: The impact on the community was almost immediate. Residents returning to the pool and patio area were greeted with a beautiful, springy new surface underfoot. Kids started running without parents worrying about skinned knees or hard falls. One resident commented that the pool now “feels like a fancy resort,” and neighborhood gatherings around the pool have increased. The HOA board was thrilled to report a reduction in slip-and-fall incidents – that peace of mind is priceless. Plus, because FLOCO’s rubber surfacing is designed to last 15+ years with minimal upkeep, the HOA can look forward to lower maintenance costs and no more yearly crack repairs . Talk about a win-win for everyone!

In summary, the Sarasota HOA project turned a safety hazard into a community highlight. A once-aging pool deck now looks vibrant and inviting, and it’s built to stay that way for years. Sarasota homeowners are enjoying their revitalized space, property values may get a nice little boost, and there’s a renewed sense of pride in the neighborhood. This project shows how rubber surfacing isn’t just a coat of material – it’s a community upgrade.

Tampa Splash Pad Transformation – From Worn-Out to WOW

Next up on our tour is an exciting project right in Tampa – a city splash pad that needed some serious TLC. FLOCO’s team loves a challenge, and this Tampa splash pad resurfacing project let them flex their creative muscles along with their safety-first know-how. If you’ve ever wondered how a splash pad could go from drab and dangerous to delightful, here’s the scoop:

The “Before” Scene: This public splash pad (with a fun beach theme and even a turtle design 🐢) had seen better days. The surface was faded, discolored, and cracking all over. Poor installation from years back led to water drainage issues, meaning puddles would form and turn parts of the pad into a slippery mess. Instead of joyful squeals, you’d hear concerned parents warning kids “Don’t run over there!” – not exactly the carefree play environment anyone wanted. It was clear that the deteriorating surface was far from family-friendly, the owners knew something had to change to make this splash pad safe and fun again for Tampa’s kiddos.

The FLOCO Makeover: FLOCO Decking Systems stepped in with a plan to revive this splash pad, prioritizing safety, durability, and aesthetics. First, the team removed any loose material and prepped the old surface. Next came the magic: they installed FLOCO’s high-quality rubber surfacing across the entire splash pad area. The new surface was thick and cushiony, providing a soft landing for those inevitable toddler tumbles. And of course, it’s slip-resistant – practically turning the splash pad into one giant anti-slip mat (because kids + water = slippery situation, and FLOCO wasn’t about to let that continue!).

For durability, FLOCO used materials that can withstand splash zone conditions. The rubber surfacing they applied is water-permeable, which helps with drainage – no more standing puddles waiting to cause trouble. It’s also formulated to resist chlorine and UV damage, so the vibrant colors won’t fade under the Florida sun or from constant splashing. Speaking of vibrant colors: FLOCO completely reimagined the look of this splash pad. Sticking with the beach theme, they incorporated a playful design with tropical blues, sandy tans, and yes, a big friendly sea turtle in the center (a tribute to the original theme, now made even cuter and more eye-catching!). The transformation truly went from “worn-out” to “WOW!” in the looks department.

Safety & Fun Achieved: Once the new rubber surface was in place, the difference was night and day. Parents and city staff alike were amazed at how brand-new the splash pad looked – some said it was like a whole new park attraction. More importantly, the area is now safe for kids to run free. The slip hazards are gone, and the cushioned surface means even if a child takes a fall, they’ll likely bounce up with just a wet smile. One witty parent observed that they might enjoy the splash pad more than the kids now, because it feels like walking on a yoga mat!

The durable rubber surfacing will keep this Tampa splash pad looking great for many years of splish-splash fun. Maintenance crews can also breathe a sigh of relief: no more constant patching of cracks or repainting peeling epoxy. A simple routine cleaning is all that’s needed to keep the pad in tip-top shape. The city officials were so impressed, they’re considering rubber surfacing for other play areas around Tampa Bay.

By emphasizing safety, durability, and aesthetics all at once, FLOCO didn’t just fix a play area – they created a vibrant community space where families can laugh, play, and cool off without worry. If that isn’t making a splash in the best possible way, we don’t know what is!

Why Rubber Surfacing is the Best Choice for Playgrounds, Pool Decks, Splash Pads & More

After seeing these transformations in Sarasota and Tampa, you might be wondering: Is rubber surfacing really that great for all kinds of spaces? (Spoiler alert: Yes, it is!) Below, we break down why rubber surfacing from FLOCO is the top choice for so many applications – from playgrounds and pool decks to splash pads, patios, and beyond. No matter where it’s installed, rubber surfacing brings a host of benefits that other materials just can’t match.

Safety First – No More Slips or Ouchies

Safety is usually the #1 reason people switch to rubber surfacing, and for good reason. Unlike hard concrete or slick tiles, rubber provides a slip-resistant surface that literally grips your feet. Around pools and splash pads, this is a game-changer – you can walk (or run, if you’re a kid full of ice cream) with confidence even when the surface is wet. Plus, the surface is cushioned. That means if someone takes a tumble, the rubber will absorb much of the impact. On playgrounds, this cushioning can be the difference between a minor “oops” and a major injury from a fall. In short, rubber surfacing creates a safer environment for everyone, from toddlers to grandparents. It’s like laying out a safety net across your whole play area or deck!

Ultimate Durability – Built to Beat the Florida Heat (and Then Some)

Florida’s climate can be tough on traditional surfaces. Scorching sun, heavy rain, humidity – it’s a recipe for cracked concrete and faded pavers. Rubber surfacing laughs in the face of these challenges. FLOCO’s rubber surfaces are designed to last well over 15 years  even in heavy-use areas. They won’t crack under extreme heat or sudden temperature changes. They’re also resistant to chlorine and saltwater, which is a must for pool areas. And unlike paint or epoxy coatings that chip and peel, the color in rubber surfacing is mixed into the material, so it won’t fade or flake off. You can drag pool furniture, strollers, or sports equipment over it without worry – it’s tough and impact-resistant. Investing in rubber surfacing means you won’t have to resurface again for a long, long time. It’s the definition of durable.

Cool & Comfortable – No More “Hot Lava” Pool Decks

If you’ve ever done the “hot pavement shuffle” on a July afternoon, you’ll love this benefit. Rubber surfacing doesn’t absorb heat the way concrete or stone does. It stays significantly cooler underfoot in the hot sun. So, that pool deck in St. Pete that used to scorch your feet by noon? With a rubber surface, it stays comfortable to walk on, even on Florida’s hottest days. Your kids can run barefoot from the pool to their towel without doing an improvised dance. Beyond temperature, rubber has a bit of give, which makes it comfortable for standing or walking for long periods. Whether you’re doing poolside yoga or chasing kids around the playground, your knees and back will thank you for choosing a surface that forgives.

Eye-Catching Aesthetics – Customize Your Paradise

Who said safety and durability can’t be pretty? One of the coolest things about FLOCO’s rubber surfacing is how customizable it is. You’re not stuck with one or two color choices – you can pick from a rainbow of colors or even combine them to create patterns and logos. FLOCO’s design team has helped homeowners and communities in Tampa Bay create one-of-a-kind looks: from a sea turtle mosaic on a splash pad to a school logo embedded in a playground, the possibilities are endless. Want your pool deck to match your home’s exterior or your HOA’s brand colors? No problem. Prefer a natural tan look to mimic sand, or a vibrant blue that pops? You got it. Rubber surfacing can be troweled and finished in ways that add texture or mimic stone layouts, all while maintaining that soft, seamless feel. The end result is a surface that not only performs well but also wows visitors with its style. (Don’t be surprised if the neighbors start asking if they can come take a look – and maybe steal the idea for their yard!)

Low Maintenance – More Fun, Less Chore

Here’s an underrated benefit: rubber surfacing is impressively low maintenance. Unlike concrete (hello constant resealing and crack repairs) or pavers (weeds and ants, anyone?), a poured-in-place rubber surface is virtually seamless and non-porous. That means no weeds, no ants, and no pesky mold growing in the cracks. A simple occasional hose-down or pressure wash will keep it looking fresh. It’s also stain-resistant – spilled drinks or dropped food at a pool party won’t leave ugly marks after a rinse. For busy HOA managers or homeowners, this means you can spend more time enjoying your patio or playground and way less time on upkeep. Over the years, the savings on cleaning and repair costs add up, making rubber surfacing not just a smart safety choice but a smart financial one too.

Versatile for Any Space

We’ve talked a lot about pools, splash pads, and playgrounds – but rubber surfacing can upgrade so many other spaces around your property or community. Consider it for driveways and sidewalks, where it provides a smooth, non-slip path (and no more ugly oil stains on the driveway). How about entryways or patios? It adds a welcoming, upscale feel and can be coordinated with indoor flooring themes for a nice flow. Got a home gym or a kids’ playroom? An indoor version of rubber surfacing can cushion those areas too (goodbye clanging weights on the garage floor!). Some FLOCO clients in the Tampa Bay area have even resurfaced their boat docks and garage floors with rubber for a unique, cushioned finish. Basically, if you have a concrete or asphalt surface that’s looking worse for wear, FLOCO can likely transform it with rubber surfacing. The sky’s the limit on where you can put this stuff – if you can stand on it, you can put rubber surfacing on it!

Now that we’ve covered the what and why of rubber surfacing, let’s circle back to FLOCO and why they’re the go-to team for rubber surfacing in Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida.
