Whether you’re re-doing your background or designing a school playground, kids’ play areas require a keen attention to detail. More so than natural grass, woodchips, and even rubber, artificial turf is quickly becoming the most popular playground material. 

In this blog, we’ll break down exactly how turf can keep your crew safer – whether you’ve got a family of four or a league of soccer players to keep track of!

Why Artificial Turf Works Great For Playscapes

Where kids go, accidents follow. Your biggest concern in designing children’s play areas is to minimize the risk of injury, pests, and allergens. Artificial turf offers several key safety benefits, including:

• Better traction to reduce falls
• Efficient drainage keeps the surface drier, minimizing slips
• Shock-absorbent padding to safeguard against injury
• Naturally insect and chemical-free to protect their airways

By making their play area as safe as possible, you’ll enjoy greater peace of mind each time they run outdoors.

Safety Ratings Of Our Playground Turf

Safety isn’t something we claim without backing it up. At EnvyLawn, each of our playground turf materials is third-party tested to ensure they meet the highest standards set by the IPEMA (International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association).

Additionally, our products are compliant with guidelines set by the ADA (American Disabilities Act), so you can be assured that all can enjoy your new playground!

How To Maintain Your Turf For Optimal Safety

Because it’s relatively new to applications like schoolyards, many clients are concerned about what kind of maintenance they’ll need to do to upkeep the space. Thankfully, synthetic grass maintenance is minimal and cost-effective.

Artificial grass requires little more than the occasional rinse to stay clean and lush. Our turf is built with maximum durability to prevent damage and efficient drainage to minimize bacteria growth. No daily watering, mowing, or fertilizing needed!

The Greener Way To Increase Safety

Artificial grass playgrounds are the most eco-friendly way to create safe outdoor spaces, free from chemicals and high water needs. Unlike other materials, you’ll never need to worry about toxic pesticides polluting the air and irritating your crew’s sensitive airways. Our playscapes stay lush and green all on their own.
