Top 10 Benefits of Rubber Surfacing for Residential Properties

At FLOCO Decking Systems, we know a thing or two about transforming outdoor spaces. We’ve seen cracked concrete, slippery tiles, and outdated surfaces that just don’t cut it anymore. But what if we told you there’s a better, safer, and more stylish way to upgrade your home’s exterior?

Enter rubber surfacing—a game-changer for homeowners who want a durable, slip-resistant, and beautiful surface that stands the test of time. Whether it’s for your pool deck, lanai, sidewalk, entryway, or patio, rubber surfacing isn’t just a smart investment—it’s a total lifestyle upgrade.

Not convinced yet? No worries—we’ve got 10 rock-solid reasons why rubber surfacing is the best choice for your home.

1. Safety First: Slip-Resistant & Shock-Absorbing

We love Florida, but let’s be real—wet tile or concrete is an accident waiting to happen. Rubber surfacing is naturally slip-resistant, even when wet, making it a perfect choice for pool decks, patios, and entryways.

But wait, there’s more! Our rubber surfacing isn’t just about preventing slips; it’s also shock-absorbing, meaning if someone does take a tumble, the surface is way more forgiving than concrete or pavers. That makes it an excellent choice for families with kids, elderly loved ones, or anyone who wants to minimize the risk of serious injuries.

Bonus: Our rubber surfaces meet or exceed impact standards used for playgrounds, so you’re basically bringing that level of safety into your backyard.

2. Heat-Resistant & Barefoot Friendly

Ever tried walking barefoot on pavers or concrete in the middle of a Florida summer? Yeah, it’s basically like stepping on lava. 🔥

With FLOCO rubber surfacing, you can say goodbye to scorched toes because our surfaces stay cooler under the suncompared to traditional hardscaping materials. That means you, your kids, and even your pets can enjoy the outdoors without doing the hot-foot dance.

3. Customizable Designs to Match Your Aesthetic

Tired of boring concrete? We get it. That’s why our rubber surfacing is 100% customizable. Whether you want:

✅ A sleek, modern color scheme

✅ A tropical beach vibe 🌊

✅ A custom in-lay design (your initials, a logo, or even a compass rose)

We’ve got you covered. Our in-house design team will work with you to create a surface that is truly one-of-a-kind.

And the best part? You get to approve your custom color blend before we install it—so you know you’ll love it before we even start.

4. Covers Cracks & Flaws—No Demolition Needed

Got a cracked, ugly, or chipped concrete pool deck? Instead of spending thousands to rip it out and start over, FLOCO rubber surfacing can be installed right over the existing surface—flaws and all.

That means no messy demolition, no long wait times, and no sky-high costs. We take care of all the prep work, including fixing drainage issues and correcting standing water problems before installation.

5. Long-Lasting & Ultra Durable

Unlike traditional concrete or pavers that chip, crack, and fade over time, rubber surfacing is designed to last 15+ years with proper care. It’s built to withstand:

✔️ Heavy foot traffic

✔️ Intense Florida sun ☀️

✔️ Pool chemicals & saltwater

✔️ Everyday wear and tear

And because we use only the highest-quality materials made in the USA, you’re getting a surface that stays beautiful and functional for years to come.

6. Say Goodbye to Weeds & Pests

Ever spent an afternoon pulling weeds from between your pavers? Not fun. Unlike pavers or brick, rubber surfacing is seamless, meaning weeds don’t stand a chance.

And since rubber isn’t a cozy home for pests like ants or termites, you won’t have to worry about unwanted guests setting up shop in your backyard.

7. Comfortable & Easy on the Feet & Joints

Rubber surfacing isn’t just tough—it’s also cushioned and comfortable. Whether you love walking barefoot or have bad knees or joint pain, this surface provides a little extra give, making it much easier on your body than hard concrete.

This makes it a fantastic option for:

👣 People who walk around barefoot often

🏃‍♂️ Active families who spend time outdoors

🦵 Those with joint pain who want a softer surface

8. Low Maintenance = More Time to Enjoy Your Space

We’re all about helping you spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying your space.

With rubber surfacing, there’s no sealing, no weeding, and no constant power-washing. Just a simple rinse or occasional scrub is enough to keep it looking fresh.

Compare that to pavers (which need sealing) or concrete (which stains easily), and it’s a no-brainer.

9. Environmentally Friendly

Our rubber surfacing is made using recycled rubber materials, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. Instead of sending old rubber to landfills, we repurpose it into a beautiful, functional, and long-lasting surface.

So if you’re looking for a way to reduce your carbon footprint while upgrading your home, FLOCO rubber surfacing is a win-win.

10. Increases Property Value & Curb Appeal

Last but definitely not least—installing rubber surfacing boosts your home’s value. Potential buyers LOVE the idea of a low-maintenance, safe, and visually stunning outdoor space.

Whether you’re planning to sell down the road or just want to make your home the best-looking one on the block, rubber surfacing is an investment that pays off.
