Designing Kid-Friendly Play Areas With Playground Turf
Playgrounds should be just as safe as they are fun, and artificial turf is the perfect way to accomplish that! EnvyLawn’s playground turf options are made with kids in mind. We’ve taken the look and feel of the natural grass kids love and optimized it for their health and safety. Here’s how installing an artificial turf playscape will benefit your crew!
Artificial Playground Turf Cushions Trips and Falls
Traditional playground materials like woodchips provide minimal shock absorbency. Trips and falls are unavoidable for little kids, so it’s important to choose a material that will help protect against scrapes, sprains, and bruises.
EnvyLawn installers ensure your installation area is as shock-absorbant as possible before laying your new artificial turf. The process includes clearing potential hazards, like rocks, and ensuring the area is smooth and even. Then, your contractor will add a layer of EnvyShock padding underneath the turf to minimize the risk of injury. EnvyShock is ADA-compliant and IPEMA-certified, so you can rest assured your kids are well-protected!
Turf Is Naturally Free From Chemical Irritants
Small children typically aren’t very good at knowing what should and shouldn’t go in their mouths. Natural grass is usually sprayed with chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides – all of which can be dangerous when accidentally ingested.
Artificial turf is naturally free from these harsh ingredients. At EnvyLawn, we always ensure our products are lead-free and non-toxic, so you never have to worry about where your kids are playing.
A Mud-Free Space To Run
Mud might not be toxic, but it does increase the risk of slipping, and it also isn’t very fun to clean up! Natural grass playscapes often have kids and pets running back indoors covered in dirt, so you’ll have to clean them up every time they go outside.
Thanks to its highly efficient drainage, turf never gets muddy. Moreover, its lack of standing water means there are fewer mosquitos flying around, minimizing bug bites.
Synthetic Grass Has Better Durability
High-quality artificial turf ensures that your project will last for years and years. Unlike natural grass, EnvyLawn products are made to withstand endless hours of play. You’ll never have to deal with dead patches or holes on your lawn ever again!
