For over 30 years, Inc. magazine has ranked private companies in America based on percentage growth in net sales over a five-year period. This year's list of the top 500 companies included FlexGround, an outdoor surfacing company that holds a landscape contractor's license.

FlexGround, a landscape contracting company that specializes in installing playground surfaces, including
the site preparation, was just notified that they were one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S according
to Inc. magazine.

The Tempe, Arizona-based company landed 359th on the well-regarded list of businesses on the rise. FlexGround has developed a number of playground and aquatic safety surfacing products including UltraFlex, SuperFlex and FlexGrout. The company has had oversight of over 2 million square feet of surfacing around the nation.

They report that they are often consulted on the development of industry regulation methodology and hold 20 different product certifications issued by the playground industry's leading committee, IPEMA.

The list's rankings are based on percentage growth in company net sales over a five-year period. In order to be included on the list, a company has to account for at least $2 million in sales.
