Playground & Safety Turf

Safe Play Surfaces for Kids

When kids play, falls happen. Playground safety turf gives children a softer landing that reduces injuries from tumbles and falls. Whether you are creating a backyard play area, installing turf under playground equipment, or designing a daycare outdoor space, safety turf provides cushioning that natural grass and mulch cannot match.

We install certified playground turf for homes, schools, and childcare facilities throughout High Point, NC. Our safety turf meets ASTM standards for fall height protection. That means it has been tested and proven to reduce injury risk when kids fall from swings, slides, and climbing structures.

Beyond safety, playground turf stays clean and usable in all weather. No more muddy play areas after rain. No more splinters from wood chips. Just a soft, green surface that kids can play on every day while parents and teachers have peace of mind.

Why Choose Safety Turf for Playgrounds

Here is what makes playground safety turf the smart choice for play areas:

• Impact absorption: Thick padding underneath the turf cushions falls from playground equipment. Meets or exceeds safety standards for fall protection.
• Non-toxic materials: All components are child-safe with no harmful chemicals. Kids can play safely even if they put hands in their mouths.
• Always clean: No mud, no wood chips, no mess. Kids stay cleaner during outdoor play, and there is nothing to track inside.
• All-weather use: Excellent drainage means the playground is usable minutes after rain. No more waiting days for natural grass to dry.
• No allergens: Unlike natural grass, artificial turf does not trigger pollen allergies. Great for kids with sensitivities.
• Durable surface: Withstands constant use without wearing down. No bare spots or compacted areas like natural grass develops.

Playground Turf Applications

Backyard play areas are our most common installation. Parents love having a safe space where kids can run, jump, and play without worry. Safety turf works perfectly under swing sets, playhouses, trampolines, and basketball hoops. The cushioned surface reduces injuries while keeping kids clean and dry.

Schools and daycares use playground safety turf to create dependable outdoor play spaces. Rain does not shut down recess anymore because the turf drains so quickly. Maintenance staff appreciate not having to replenish mulch or repair bare spots in grass. Insurance companies often approve because the turf meets safety standards.

Community playgrounds, HOA common areas, and parks also benefit from safety turf. It stands up to heavy use from many children while staying safe and attractive. We can combine playground turf with regular artificial grass in surrounding areas for a complete landscape solution.

Professional Safety Turf Installation

Installing playground safety turf correctly is critical. The padding underneath provides the impact protection, so we pay careful attention to the base construction. We excavate the area, install drainage, and add the appropriate thickness of shock-absorbing pad based on the height of your playground equipment.

The safety pad goes down first, then we install the turf on top. Everything is secured properly so it will not shift with use. We test the installation to verify it meets fall height requirements for your specific playground equipment. You get documentation showing your play surface complies with safety standards.

Most residential playground installations take 1-2 days. Larger commercial projects may take longer depending on size. Kids can play on the new surface immediately after installation. Many families also install pet turf in other areas of their yard so the whole family benefits.
