Is playground turf safer than mulch or gravel?

Yes. Our playground safety turf provides consistent, reliable impact absorption across the entire play area. Unlike mulch that shifts and decomposes or gravel that hardens over time, artificial turf maintains its protective qualities for years. It's also cleaner with no splinters, less dust, and better wheelchair accessibility. The surface meets ASTM safety standards for fall height protection.

What makes playground turf different from regular artificial grass?

Playground turf uses specialized padding systems underneath the surface to absorb impacts from falls. We install shock-absorbing underlayment that's rated for specific fall heights based on your play equipment. The turf itself is also softer and more cushioned than standard artificial grass, and it's designed to be non-abrasive for little hands and knees.

Can playground turf be used in schools and daycares?

Absolutely. We work with schools, daycares, parks, and residential playgrounds throughout Lakeville. Our playground turf meets safety regulations and can be certified for commercial play areas. It's also easy to sanitize, doesn't harbor pests, and eliminates muddy play areas. Many facilities choose artificial turf because it creates a cleaner, safer, and more accessible play environment for all children.

Why Safety Turf Protects Your Kids Better

Playground safety turf isn't just regular artificial grass. It's specifically engineered to cushion falls and meet strict safety standards. Here's what makes it different:

✓Certified Fall Height Protection: Our safety turf systems are tested and rated for specific fall heights under ASTM standards. We install the right amount of padding underneath to protect kids from the heights of your equipment.
✓Shock-Absorbing Underlayment: The specialized padding beneath the turf provides cushioning that helps prevent serious injuries from falls. It's like having a thick safety mat under your entire play area.
✓No Hard Surfaces or Debris: Unlike mulch that hides rocks or compacts into hard spots, and unlike pea gravel that causes scraped knees, safety turf provides a consistently soft surface with no hidden hazards.
✓Excellent Drainage: Our playground turf drains quickly after rain so kids can play right away. No puddles, no mud, no waiting for things to dry out.
✓Non-Toxic and Hypoallergenic: All materials are certified safe for children with no harmful chemicals, lead, or allergens. The turf is also naturally antimicrobial.
✓ADA Accessible: Safety turf creates a smooth, stable surface that's accessible for wheelchairs and mobility devices, making playgrounds inclusive for all children.

What Parents Love About Playground Turf

Safety is the main reason to install playground turf, but parents and facility managers quickly discover other benefits that make life easier. The clean factor alone is huge because kids come inside with clean clothes instead of mud-covered everything. Equipment lasts longer too because moisture and ground contact issues disappear.

Maintenance is minimal. Occasionally hose off the turf and pick up any debris. That's about it. Compare that to constantly replenishing mulch, dealing with grass that won't grow under equipment, or raking pea gravel back into place. Safety turf stays put and stays perfect.

Many families combine playground safety turf with other synthetic turf features. We often install residential artificial grass for the rest of the yard and pet turf in designated areas, creating a complete low-maintenance outdoor space that's safe for both kids and pets.
