Help Keep Your Littlest Loved Ones Safer With Artificial Playground Turf

Help Keep Your Littlest Loved Ones Safer With Artificial Playground Turf

Transform your playground into a safer space with synthetic playground grass from EnvyLawn! Whether you are a parent with a backyard playground, a daycare with an indoor play area, or a city park with large play equipment, we have the ideal surfacing material for you. Our high-quality synthetic playground grass can help bring greater peace of mind into the equation.

Often, playgrounds come with certain risks. Even supervised children can potentially harm themselves in one way or another. Installing preventative measures in playgrounds and their equipment is crucial in reducing and helping prevent injuries. One way parents, parks and recreation departments, schools, and daycares can achieve this is by installing safer surfaces for playgrounds, such as artificial playground turf.

No one wants their child to get hurt, especially while enjoying themselves on a playground. To help avoid injuries during playtime parents, parks, schools, and more should invest in playing surfaces that are soft, gentle, and highly durable. Your future selves will likely thank you for it!

With specially designed playground turf from EnvyLawn, multiple types of injuries and potentially serious injuries can be reduced, including falls, cuts, bruises, abrasions, broken bones, and sprains. This is due to a variety of factors but primarily our artificial playground grass’ extra cushioned backing. This backing provides greater shock absorption, which can help absorb various kinds of impacts, making them easier on a child, teen, or even adult.

Artificial Playground Turf Vs. Other Surfaces

The artificial playground turf that we have at EnvyLawn is much more than the sum of its parts. There are many features and benefits it has that are innovative for health and safety. Most significantly, our artificial grass surfaces are incredibly hygienic and stable compared to most other common surfaces used for playgrounds, such as traditional grass, sand, and wood chips.

These harder, more high-maintenance surfaces often collect grime like germs, vomit, urine, and insects, and they are immensely difficult to clean and sanitize without replacing whole sections regularly. To make matters worse, they are highly subject to weathering, which can make them uneven and develop holes and other trip hazards. In contrast, the synthetic playground grass from EnvyLawn is quick and easy to clean as well as antimicrobial, which can help keep all users healthy. It is also able to withstand normal wear and tear, keeping it soft, secure, and free from trip hazards. As a result, our synthetic turf is the whole package: gorgeous and practical.

Meeting High Standards

Safety is essential for playgrounds. So at EnvyLawn, we take the responsibility we hold in manufacturing safer artificial playground grass very seriously. We adhere to the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) on guidelines for playground safety and playground equipment. This organization sets high standards and issues certifications for equipment and surfaces that can help reduce injuries and keep children safer.

Our playground solutions meet those rigorous standards when it comes to Head Injury Criteria (HIC) and other injuries. In addition to this certification, our artificial turf products are also compliant with the American Disabilities Act (ADA), so they can be accessed and enjoyed by those with disabilities. At EnvyLawn, we understand that playtime is about fun and socialization, and we do not want anyone to be left out.

Significant Benefits Of Artificial Playground Grass

When you team up with EnvyLawn for your synthetic playground grass, you can enjoy the many benefits that come with our products. At the top of the list, of course, is safety. However, that is not the only advantage our artificial playground turf affords our littlest loved ones. Some of the other significant benefits of installing our artificial playground grass include:

Cleaner & More Comfortable

At EnvyLawn, our synthetic playground turf is simple to clean and keep as clean as possible because it utilizes a backing system that allows for quick-draining. This helps keep water from pooling on the surface and creating puddles. It also allows our turf to be quickly hosed down to help clean it and help keep it clean. As a result, our artificial playground grass is more comfortable. However, its comfort is also due to its soft synthetic fibers and cushioned backing.

Durability & Attractiveness

Playground surfaces often experience depreciation from playing children, foot traffic, and the weather. Fortunately, our American-made artificial playground turf is built to withstand these factors and more, providing it with the ability to be enjoyed for years to come. However, this durability does not just extend our turf’s lifetime; it also helps it remain perfectly lush, manicured, and green year-round.

Low Maintenance & Cost Effectiveness

Sadly, many common playground surfaces, such as traditional grass, sand, and wood chips, can be incredibly high maintenance. They require constant upkeep to look their best or remain evenly distributed throughout a play area. Thankfully, our artificial playground grass is low maintenance. It never needs to be watered, trimmed, or treated. It only ever needs to be cleaned, which can easily be done with a quick spray from a hose. As a result of this lack of upkeep, our synthetic playground turf is highly cost-effective, especially for public and commercial properties.

Further Benefits

Further benefits of our first-rate artificial playground turf include:

  • No need for harsh chemicals
  • No mud or grass stains
  • Inhospitable to bugs and rodents
  • Non-toxic
  • Free from grass allergens
  • Eco-friendly

  • Helps to prevent erosion
  • Multi-purpose
