Expert Suppliers of Thermoplastic Playground Markings.
We are Designs & Lines, an independent UK company with over 20 years of experience helping schools, councils, children’s centres, and other organisations make the most of their outdoor spaces. Fantastically fun and educational playground markings, sports courts for daily exercise, and car park and line markings for safety – you name it, we can do it. All while creating engaging environments that encourage learning and the imagination, get kids physically active, and put ‘play’ back in playground.
If you need something neat, clean, and permanently green, we also supply and install artificial grass for the best safety surface you could ask for. For year-round football games, Sports Day races, or even just general play, our turf is ready and waiting.

Proudly using the best quality material we are able to offer a full 4 year warranty on all playground markings.

Reward & Referral Scheme
We help your money go further by offering free products and referral rewards.
The Best Playgrounds Begin with the Right Materials
We use the highest-quality preformed thermoplastic available, providing vibrant, long-lasting markings suitable for tarmac,
concrete, block paving, ceramic and metal surfaces. Our products conform to BS EN 1436, the European standard for road safety markings, so you know their quality and durability are more than
up to scratch.
To give you an idea of its durability, this is the same material being used in London’s congestion areas and on the blue cycle routes!
Designed for Daily Fun and Learning
Our playground markings are backed by a 4-year warranty on foot traffic, they retain their bright appearance with minimal maintenance, and can be easily cleaned using warm soapy water and a stiff broom if required.
Our silica artificial grass is also UV-protected, so you can expect it to stay as green and as fresh as the day it was laid with minimal intervention. A quick rake or brush with a broom, and a twice-yearly scattering of weed killer is all that’s needed to keep it this way.
Our Most Popular Playground Markings
We offer a wide range of products which are all bright, educational and fun for children of all ages and abilities.

Some of our happy customers
We are passionate about what we do and take great pride in delivering the highest level of satisfaction to our customers.
The markings look amazing and as soon as they were dry the children were all over them especially the Copy Me. Teachers commented it was lovely to see them enjoying them so much. I also heard comments on the main playground saying how smart it looked.
Your fitter was really good and very mindful of the complexities of working on a school site and safety issues that can arise which made it really easy for us.
Jo Slate
Orchard Vale Primary School – Devon
We have just had our playground markings revamped by Designs and Lines. From Day One, our children have been playing on the Daily Mile track, using the agility trails and our younger children love the race track. I’m so pleased with the final product and would recommend this company to any other schools looking to make their playgrounds a more exciting place for children to play. Thank you again!!

Teversham C of E Primary School
Just to say thank you. The guys who came on site were great, the marking is lovely and the children are really enjoying it, so much so, they are arguing over who can use it first!
Please pass on my comments to the guys, as not all contractors on site are so understanding of working in a school, especially in the early years areas.

The work that has been completed looks fantastic and I’m sure that we will be coming back for more.
The gentleman that did the work was lovely, very polite and did a great job. Please do pass on our thanks to him. The communication with your company throughout the process has also been excellent.
It has turned a drab playground into one that is now bright and fun! Roll on September when our

I would like to thank your team for the wonderful work that they have carried out in both of our playgrounds at St. Mary’s: they look magnificent. It has been lovely to watch the children ‘discover’ them and devise ways to use them in their play. They are a wonderful addition to our playgrounds.
Once again, thank you so much for all that your company have done.
