Playground & Safety Turf

Why Safety Turf Matters

Let's talk about what makes safety turf different from regular artificial grass. The main difference is the padding underneath. Playground turf includes extra shock-absorbing layers that cushion falls. This padding is rated to meet safety standards for critical fall heights, which is the measurement used to determine if a surface is safe for playgrounds.

Real grass gets hard and patchy, especially under swings and slides where kids wear it away. Mulch and wood chips scatter everywhere and can hide hazards. Safety turf stays consistent, cushioned, and clean. It provides reliable impact absorption across the entire play area, not just in some spots.

• Meets ASTM safety standards for playground surfaces
• Cushions falls better than natural grass or hardpacked dirt
• No splinters, no sharp wood chips, no hidden hazards
• Stays clean and mud-free even after rain
• ADA accessible for wheelchairs and mobility devices
• Non-toxic and safe for children
• Resists wear even in high-traffic areas

Perfect for All Types of Play Areas

We install safety turf for backyard play sets, daycare facilities, schools, parks, and community centers. Each application has specific needs, and we customize the installation accordingly. Backyard parents love it because kids come inside clean instead of covered in mud and grass stains.

Daycares and preschools appreciate the low maintenance and consistent safety. Schools use it to create all-weather play areas that don't turn into mud pits during rainy months. The turf works under play structures, around swings, in open play areas, or as a complete playground surface.

We can also add colorful designs, hopscotch patterns, or game markings directly into the turf. Kids love the bright colors and interactive elements. These features make play areas more engaging while maintaining all the safety benefits.

Professional Installation to Safety Standards

Installing playground turf isn't like installing regular artificial grass. The base preparation is more extensive. We create a properly graded, compacted base that allows for drainage while maintaining the cushioning properties. Then we install the shock pad layer that provides the critical fall height protection.

The turf itself is specially designed for playgrounds. It's more durable than standard turf and uses materials that stand up to constant use. We secure everything properly so there are no trip hazards or areas where the turf can lift. Every seam is carefully joined to create a smooth, safe surface.

We follow ASTM F1292 standards for impact attenuation and can provide documentation showing your playground meets safety requirements. This matters for schools and commercial installations that need to demonstrate compliance with safety regulations.
