FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to common questions about playground sand cleaning, softfall sand top-ups, sand sanitising, decompaction, weed control, cleaning depth and interstate service areas.
What types of sand areas can you clean?
We clean public and private playgrounds, daycare sandpits, school play areas, beach volleyball courts, river foreshores, horse arenas and other sand-based environments that need debris removal, sanitising, decompaction or sand top-ups.
Do you provide softfall sand top-ups?
Yes. We can supply, spread and level softfall sand to refresh playgrounds where sand levels have dropped through use, weather, displacement or regular maintenance cycles.
How often should playground sand be cleaned?
The right schedule depends on foot traffic, public access, debris load, animal activity, weather exposure and contamination risk. Many schools, childcare centres and councils book routine cleaning to keep sand safer, cleaner and easier to inspect.
How deep does the machine clean?
On average, we clean to a depth of 100-150mm. In high-impact playground areas, including under swings and equipment with higher fall zones, we focus on deeper decompaction where the site allows.
What can professional sand cleaning remove?
Our sand cleaning process can remove sharp objects, glass, metal, litter, plastic, cans, cigarette butts, animal droppings, decomposing leaves, stones, shells, weeds and grass roots. Removal depends on site conditions and the grate size selected.
Do you clean sand for daycare centres and schools?
Yes. TAGS provides playground sand cleaning, sanitising, decompaction and softfall sand top-ups for daycare centres, schools, playgrounds and high-use play areas across Brisbane & QLD, Sydney & NSW, Melbourne & VIC, North Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia.
