Why Choose Playground Turf?
Play areas receive a significant amount of traffic, especially when populated by enthusiastic children who are eager to play, run, and explore. Unfortunately, traditional grass often struggles to keep up with this level of activity. Over time, this can result in mud, unsightly bald patches, encroaching weeds, and hard-packed dirt, all of which can create hazards that lead to slips and scrapes for little ones. To address these challenges, our artificial playground turf offers an exceptional solution, providing a beautiful, safe, and incredibly resilient surface that is perfect for kids of all ages, allowing them to play freely without the worry of injuries.
Benefits of Playground Turf:
- Shock-Absorbing Safety Padding: Designed to cushion falls and reduce the risk of injury, the shock-absorbing qualities ensure a safer play environment for children.
- Certified Fall Protection (Up to 12 ft): Our turf conforms to industry safety standards, providing peace of mind with certified protection from falls from heights of up to 12 feet.
- No Mud or Dust: Say goodbye to muddy shoes and dusty play areas. Our synthetic turf eliminates the need for constant upkeep associated with natural grass.
- Stays Green All Year: Regardless of weather conditions, our playground turf maintains a vibrant green appearance throughout all seasons, ensuring your play area looks inviting year-round.
- No Allergens or Grass Stains: Perfect for children with allergies, our turf is free from common allergens and does not leave behind grass stains, keeping both clothing and skin clean.
- Safe for Bare Feet and Hands: Soft and comfortable underfoot, our playground turf is gentle for children playing barefoot or using their hands, making it the ideal surface for any activity.
- Non-Toxic & Lead-Free: Providing safety for children is a top priority, and our turf is made from non-toxic materials and is completely lead-free, ensuring a healthy play environment.
- Low Maintenance: Forget about the endless chores associated with maintaining a natural grass play area. Our artificial turf requires minimal maintenance, freeing up valuable time for more play!

Maintenance Tips for Playground Turf
While artificial turf requires very little upkeep compared to natural grass, there are several effective ways to ensure that it continues to look great and perform at its best over time. Here are a few simple yet important maintenance tips to keep in mind:
- Make it a habit to brush or rake high-traffic areas regularly to avoid compaction and maintain an even surface.
- It's a good idea to hose down the turf surface at least once a month, or more frequently if there are spills, to keep it clean and free of grime.
- Be sure to inspect seams and infill materials every season, as this will help you catch any potential issues before they become bigger problems.
- Remove leaves and organic debris promptly to prevent mold growth and maintain the aesthetics of your turf.
- Occasionally, you should also sanitize the surface with turf-safe cleaners to eliminate any lingering odors and enhance cleanliness.
To further support you in maintaining your artificial turf, our expert team offers optional annual maintenance visits. These visits ensure that your turf remains safe, visually appealing, and functional for years to come.
