In the past, it has been common to have natural grass, sand, or wood chips as surfacing for play areas. But is that really the best option?

Antimicrobial
Allergen-free

Artificial Turf for Residential & Commercial Playgrounds

January 20, 2022/in Playground Turf/by idgadvertising

Artificial turf for playgrounds is quickly replacing rubber padding and mulch surfacing around the country, and EnvyLawn is at the forefront of the transition. In the past, artificial turf was solely used for sports facilities. However, since its inception, turf use has expanded tremendously to kids’ playgrounds, thanks to its inherent safety features.

When we send our children outside to play, the last thing we want to worry about is potential injuries. This is why EnvyLawn’s IPEMA-certified, American-made turf is the ideal solution for residential and commercial playgrounds.

At EnvyLawn, we have made it part of our mission to provide safe playground surfacing for children of all ages. So whether you’re looking for playground turf for your backyard, daycare center, or an indoor play area, we have a solution to fit your specific needs and budget requirements.

Our artificial turf is durable and requires less maintenance than other regularly used playground surfaces, such as sand or wood chips. In contrast to traditional playground surfaces, which require yearly replacement or replenishment, our surfaces require little to no upkeep and are simple to clean.

Applications

Owing to its outstanding quality, EnvyLawn’s artificial turf is now commonly used in the following commercial and residential playground settings:

Residential backyards
Commercial parks
Schools
Daycare centers
Restaurant play areas
Commercial waiting rooms and receptions
Shopping malls

Many businesses that host children use artificial turf as a buoyant, attractive surface, and parents appreciate the changes.

Minimal Maintenance Surfaces

Because of its extended lifespan and low maintenance requirements, we believe that our artificial grass is a superior option to traditional playground materials such as sand, mulch, or recycled tires. As an alternative to conventional playground surfaces, which must be replenished or repaired constantly, we provide playground surfaces that require little upkeep and only need occasional cleaning with a hose, broom, or leaf blower.

Utmost Safety in Mind

EnvyLawn’s synthetic turf undergoes rigorous testing and safety checks to ensure it meets the stringent IPEMA (International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association) requirements. Our state-of-the-art facility is outfitted with the latest turf production technology.

Consequently, our artificial playground turf is soft to the touch, heat absorbent, and dense, giving it unrivaled durability and resilience. This acts as a soft cushion that protects children from serious injury during playtime.

Unsure about which turf will work best for your playground? EnvyLawn offers a variety of options, including EnvyPlay, Medium Play, and EnvyWoven, among others. EnvyPlay is constructed entirely of polyethylene and is suitable for use in most playground situations. On the other hand, Medium Play is of medium density, is similarly made of polyethylene, and is also extremely long-lasting. It’s a great choice for pet turf and most children’s playgrounds. For commercial playgrounds subjected to more intense use, EnvyWoven adds a padded layer of urethane, which provides extra padding appropriate for commercial playgrounds.

Eco-Friendly

In addition to its visual appeal, low maintenance, and safety features, EnvyLawn’s synthetic grass playgrounds are very eco-friendly. For example, you never have to worry about adding chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers to sustain the turf’s luster. Research has shown that toxins associated with these chemicals have been linked to environmental degradation. On the other hand, synthetic turf remains perfectly pristine and maintains its uniform appearance all year round regardless of use or weather conditions.

Similarly, our playground turf eliminates the need for landscaping equipment. This has the domino effect of cutting back on fossil fuels such as diesel or gasoline, contributing to carbon emissions.

5 Great Artificial Grass Applications That Will Amaze You!

January 18, 2022/in Dog & Pet Artificial Grass, Playground Turf, Putting Greens/by idgadvertising

Since its inception in the 1960s, artificial turf has come a long way. Initially, synthetic turf was primarily used for spectator sports venues and training facilities. Since then, as technology for designing and manufacturing synthetic turf has evolved, so have its applications. As a result, artificial grass is now commonly installed in residential backyards, parks, playgrounds, childcare facilities, schools, shopping malls, and even golf courses. In this post, we’ll look at five incredible artificial turf applications.

Indoor Mini Golf

According to statistics, golf is one of the few sports that grew in popularity during 2020. The reasons are obvious; golf is engaging, exhilarating, and relaxing. As a result of the pandemic lockdown of 2020, most of us drastically reduced our outdoor activities. Many people began to find unique ways to stay healthy and entertained indoors. One of these innovations was the installation of artificial indoor mini-golf courses.

It is impossible to overstate the advantages of having an indoor artificial mini golf course. For instance, no matter what time of day it is, you may play and practice your short game regardless of external weather conditions. You won’t need to worry about downtime when public golf clubs are closed for maintenance or due to inclement weather.

Decks & Rooftop Patios

As people spend more time indoors, they tend to look for fun ways to stay engaged. One of these is to reclaim spaces such as decks, rooftops, and patios. Whether you have a restaurant or simply want to renovate your residential space, installing artificial turf is one of the best ways to add a touch of magnificence and greenery to the area. Next time you want to invite friends and family over for dinner or a backyard barbecue, consider surprising them with a newly installed synthetic grass surface.

Pet Turf

Dogs enjoy playing in the grass, and artificial turf offers many advantages for our furry friends. Recent years have seen an increase in the number of pet owners who recognize the value of artificial turf. For example, synthetic grass is extremely resistant to digging, thanks to the superior construction techniques used in its manufacture. With synthetic turf, dogs cannot easily tunnel under the fence and escape into the street at their leisure. This affords your pets a safe and secure environment to exercise and play.

Unlike natural grass, artificial grass has great drainage characteristics. It allows liquids to drain straight through, which is extremely useful when dealing with rain or pet urine. This means no mud puddles form (which results in the dog bringing muddy paw prints into the house) or lingering odors.

Furthermore, dogs with grass allergies can endlessly play their favorite game of fetch without worrying about itchy, inflamed skin. Our artificial pet turf protects your pet from allergens and pests.

Kids Playground

One of the most amazing benefits of artificial turf is its safety qualities for kids’ playgrounds. Artificial turf has become a common feature at numerous public parks, playgrounds, daycare centers, and schools due to its soft texture and anti-microbial qualities.

When it comes to children’s playgrounds, safety is paramount. Unfortunately, many of today’s surfaces are made of rubber, mulch, or typical grass, all of which can be rather rough and abrasive. The IPEMA-certified fiber used by EnvyLawn provides additional padding that protects children from major injury when they fall and provides unmatched durability.

Commercial Settings

As businesses prepare to completely reopen following the pandemic, many are exploring contemporary ways to attract customers. Among them is the installation of artificial turf. Shopping malls and venues that feature live events have begun to see artificial turf as a viable surfacing option. It’s supremely attractive, resilient, durable, and low maintenance, making it a logical choice for most commercial enterprises.

Why is Artificial Turf Ideal For Commercial Playgrounds & Play Areas?

August 13, 2021/in Playground Turf/by idgadvertising

Artificial turf for commercial playgrounds and play areas has been gaining popularity recently. When it comes to children’s play areas, numerous options are available in the market, including rubber, gravel, and mulch. However, artificial playground grass has been gaining popularity over these types of filler as they do not retain their protective qualities over time, drift, and develop inconsistent coverage.

Artificial playground turf is gaining ground and is the ideal playground solution for consistency, durability, and reliability. Our turf is commonly installed in schools, daycare centers, parks, and even restaurant play areas. As nothing quite matches the safety components ingrained in EnvyLawn’s playground turf.

At EnvyLawn, we understand that safety is the number one priority when it comes to kids’ play areas. That is why the texture of the surfaces at play areas is of paramount importance. This article will discuss why artificial turf is the most common-sense solution for children’s playground surfaces.

Benefits Of Playground Turf

EnvyLawn’s playground turf is a great way to improve safety in commercial play areas. These can be in parks, schools, daycare centers, and even restaurants. Our playground turf is designed to keep kids of all ages safer while they run and play. Unlike sand or wood-chipped surfaces, our playground surface reduces the risk of infection from abrasions or scrapes. It’s also infused with anti-microbial technology, which makes it allergy-free and safer for kids.

By making the playground surface softer, the ground is much more forgiving when kids fall. In addition, our multi-layered structure helps reduce and even prevent serious injuries by cushioning falls and eradicating trip zones. Let’s examine some of these fantastic benefits in more detail:

Fall Protection

The top consideration for a playground surface is its fall protection. In addition, a good playground turf must meet ASTM (American Standard Testing Methods) standards for shock absorption. Our playground turf products are constructed using multi-layered padding and infill, which contains 100% polyethylene. This material is recommended for most commercial playgrounds due to its safety qualities.

Relatively Low Maintenance

The synthetic turf material itself has a relatively low maintenance cost throughout its long lifetime. For instance, research shows that the overall cost of maintaining natural grass and soil was way more than that of artificial turf over a period of just three to five years. That’s because there’s no need for watering, mowing, or fertilizing. With artificial grass, you simply rinse it off occasionally and let the water drain well off its surface. Our playground turf is quick draining, which is great for preventing rainwater from pooling on its surface.

ADA Compliance

One huge benefit of using synthetic playground grass for commercial playgrounds is it can be used for accessible playgrounds and ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) compliance since it can easily fit the build order of being firm and wheelchair friendly with the right blade length and style of playground artificial grass. Synthetic turf is also ideal for people with allergies or hay fever due to the fact that it doesn’t generate or add to the outdoor pollen count.

Very Durable

Because our playground turf has a higher face weight, it is more durable than natural grass. This is key because whenever it needs repair, you won’t have to replace the whole turf. Not only is this cost-effective, but it is also highly convenient for businesses and other commercial entities. And when the time comes to replace the turf, the process is relatively easy.

Additionally, artificial playground turf does not succumb to mud and grass stains. It’s also UV (Ultra-Violet) light-resistant. This means that despite prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays, it will not fade over time. Furthermore, it’s not susceptible to frost, pests, and other forms of insects. This makes it relatively safe and allergy-free.
