Playground & Safety Turf

Why Parents and Schools Choose Safety Turf

Kids fall. It is part of playing and learning. But what they fall on makes all the difference. Playground safety turf provides cushioning that reduces the risk of serious injuries from falls. It is softer than dirt, grass, or mulch, and it stays consistent in all weather conditions. No mud puddles, no hard-packed soil, and no wood chips that scatter everywhere.

Safety turf is perfect for backyard playgrounds, school play areas, daycare centers, and public parks. It meets safety standards for fall height protection while creating a clean, attractive play space that kids love. Parents appreciate the added safety. Kids love how soft and comfortable it feels. And property managers love that it requires almost zero maintenance compared to traditional playground surfaces.

Benefits of Playground Safety Turf

Safety turf does more than just cushion falls. It creates a better play environment in every way. Here is what makes it the smart choice for play areas:

• ✓Impact absorption: Cushioned base protects against falls from playground equipment
• ✓Wheelchair accessible: Smooth, level surface allows easy access for all children
• ✓Clean and dry: No mud, no puddles, and drains quickly after rain
• ✓Non-toxic and safe: Made from materials that are completely safe for children
• ✓Durable surface: Stands up to heavy use without wearing down or creating trip hazards

How We Install Safety Turf Systems

Proper installation is critical for playground safety turf. The cushioning comes from the shock-absorbing pad we install underneath the turf, not just the turf itself. We design each installation based on the height of your playground equipment and the required fall protection rating. Taller structures need thicker padding to meet safety standards.

We start by preparing a level base and installing drainage. Then we add the appropriate thickness of shock pad material, followed by the safety turf surface. Every seam is carefully secured, and edges are finished properly to prevent tripping. The result is a playground surface that meets or exceeds safety standards while looking great. Many residential customers combine safety turf under play structures with our residential artificial grass for the rest of their yard.
