Artificial Turf Playgrounds

When planning for ground cover options for the playground areas, Artificial grass is more and more coming into play ! Fall impact criteria, no need for water, longevity and safety are all typically criteria schools and municipalities are looking for. As withstanding constant foot traffic from children is critical, strong products for these kind of applications are recommended.

Teachers love the fact that kids don't track dirt and mud into the classrooms after recess, even after a recent rainfall. Parents love that their kids stay clean (and uniforms are never grass stained). In fact, several parents have decided to install Artificial grass products at their homes since seeing it at the school. Kids enjoy Artificial grass because in summertime it doesn't get as hot as rubber surfaces.

Alongside the development of “next generation” (2nd generation and 3rd generation) artificial grasses and the addition of in-fills came a substantial improvement in the safety and durability of synthetic grasses. Subsequently, this has led to an increased interest in artificial turf playgrounds. Leisure.Lawn’s product line for usage in artificial grass playgrounds is safe, durable, and made from polypropylene and polyethylene lead free/non-toxic fibers. Artificial grass playgrounds are beautiful, safe, low maintenance, cost effective alternatives to traditional playground surfacing such as dirt, grass (which typically dies), wood chips (which are dirty and harbor insects), and more expensive rubber landing areas! Be sure to consider the following when researching any potential artificial turf playground area project:

* What artificial grass playground style will compliment the natural lawns in the area?
* What is the anticipated traffic density of the artificial turf playground areas?
* What are the appropriate ADA and fall test ratings requirements for the playground surfacing?
* What in-fill helps you to achieve your required playground surfacing G-max results?

Be sure you and/or your contractor follow the Leisure.Lawn recommended installation guidelines and in-fill requirements for your artificial grass playground!
