Playground & Safety Turf

Why Safety Turf Protects Kids Better

Falls happen on playgrounds. That's just part of childhood. The question is whether the surface can cushion those falls and prevent serious injuries. Playground safety turf is engineered specifically for this purpose.

Here's what makes safety turf different from regular surfaces:

• •Impact-absorbing padding underneath the turf that meets ASTM safety standards for fall protection
• •Consistent cushioning across the entire play area, not just under equipment
• •No exposed roots, rocks, or hard spots that cause injuries
• •Excellent drainage that prevents puddles and keeps play areas usable after rain
• •Clean surface that doesn't harbor insects, allergens, or animal waste like mulch and sand
• •Durable enough to handle daily use without wearing down or developing unsafe areas

Safety turf reduces the severity of falls and provides a cleaner, more hygienic play environment compared to traditional playground surfaces. Parents and school administrators love the peace of mind that comes with knowing kids are playing on a surface designed specifically for their safety.

How We Install Playground Safety Turf

Installing safety turf requires precision and expertise. This isn't the same process as installing regular artificial grass. Safety turf needs proper padding layers, correct infill materials, and precise installation to meet safety standards.

The Safety Turf System

We start by preparing the ground with proper grading and drainage. Next, we install shock-absorbing padding designed specifically for playground applications. The padding thickness is calculated based on the fall height of your equipment. Higher structures require thicker padding to meet safety standards.

Then we install the safety turf itself with specialized infill that enhances impact absorption while keeping the surface soft and comfortable. We secure everything properly to prevent lifting or shifting, and we test the entire installation to ensure it meets safety specifications. The result is a playground surface that protects children while providing a beautiful, natural-looking play area.

For families looking to upgrade their entire outdoor space, we also offer residential artificial grass for surrounding lawn areas and pet turf systems for households with both kids and dogs.

Perfect for Homes, Schools, and Daycares

We install playground safety turf for residential backyards, schools, churches, daycares, and community parks throughout Wesley Chapel. Each setting has unique needs, and we customize our installations accordingly.

Residential installations typically focus on backyard play areas, swing sets, and playhouses. These projects give families a safe outdoor play space that requires virtually no maintenance. Schools and daycares need larger installations that can handle hundreds of kids daily while maintaining safety standards. We work with administrators to design systems that meet budget requirements while providing maximum safety and durability.

No matter what type of playground you're building or upgrading, safety turf gives you a surface that protects children, requires minimal maintenance, and looks great for 15 to 20 years. Call us at (813) 591-5725 to discuss your playground safety turf project.
