What are bespoke playground designs?
A bespoke marking is a custom design, your logo, mascot, crest or a themed scene, drawn specifically for your school and laid in thermoplastic. It gives the playground a piece that is unmistakably yours, whether that is a crest at the main entrance, a themed play zone, or a whole scheme built around a topic the children chose. We work from your artwork or draw something new with you, size it to the space, and match your colours, so the finished space reflects your school rather than a catalogue.
Why do schools choose bespoke playground designs?
Unmistakably your school
A crest, logo or mascot on the tarmac gives the playground an identity that belongs to your school and nobody else, and it makes a strong first impression at the gate.
Built around your idea
We start from your artwork or a theme the children pick, then draw and size it to your space, so the design is genuinely yours rather than a stock pattern.
A centrepiece for the space
A large themed scene or entrance crest gives the playground a focal point that ties the other markings together and gets talked about.
What types of bespoke playground designs do we install?
Your logo, mascot or a one-off theme, drawn to your playground.
School logos and crests
Your emblem reproduced faithfully in thermoplastic, ideal for entrances and gathering spaces.
Mascots and characters
A friendly character or your school mascot brought onto the playground as a feature.
Themed schemes
A whole area built around a theme, space, the ocean, a jungle, tying several markings together.
Custom games and layouts
A one-off game, zone or layout designed to your brief when nothing off the shelf quite fits.
How do we install bespoke playground designs?
Survey, design, install and aftercare, and most of it is ours to do.
- 01
Survey
We look at the space and talk through your idea, your logo, a theme, a mascot, and where the design will have the most impact.
- 02
Design
We work from your artwork or draw something new, size it to the space and match your colours, then send a proof for you to approve.
- 03
Install
The design is carefully masked and laid in thermoplastic on site, reproducing the proof, and most bespoke pieces are completed within a day.
- 04
Aftercare
Ready to use once cool. We keep your artwork on file, so we can add matching pieces or extend the theme on a later visit.
What do bespoke playground designs cost?
Bespoke work is priced by size and detail, so a straightforward logo often falls somewhere around £350 to £900 fitted, while a large themed scene runs higher. Intricate artwork with many colours takes longer to lay and costs more. We draw the design, size it to your playground and give you a fixed quote before anything is installed, with no charge for the design itself.

Bespoke playground designs: your questions answered
Can you reproduce our school logo on the playground?
Yes. We work from your logo artwork, or redraw it cleanly if we only have a small image, then size it to the space and match your colours. You approve a proof before we install, so what goes down is a faithful version of your emblem.
Do you charge for the bespoke design?
No. The design and the proof are part of the service, and you only pay for the finished marking once you have approved it. We would rather get the artwork right with you first, because a bespoke piece is on the playground for years.
What can be made bespoke?
Logos, crests, mascots, themed scenes and one-off games and layouts. If you have an idea that nothing off the shelf quite matches, we can usually draw it, size it to your grounds and lay it. Tell us the theme or send the artwork and we will take it from there.
