Playground & Safety Turf
Safe, cushioned artificial turf designed to protect children at schools, parks, and homes throughout Grand Island.
Safer Surfaces for Active Kids
Kids fall. It happens every day on playgrounds, in backyards, and at schools. The surface they land on makes all the difference between a minor bump and a serious injury. Traditional playground surfaces like wood chips scatter, concrete hurts, and grass gets worn down to hard dirt. Our safety turf stays soft and cushioned year after year.
We install playground turf for schools, daycare centers, parks, and residential play areas throughout Grand Island. This is not regular artificial grass. Safety turf includes extra padding underneath that absorbs impact from falls. It meets ASTM safety standards for fall height ratings, which means it is tested and certified to protect children.
Parents love it because kids stay cleaner and safer. Teachers and administrators appreciate the low maintenance and durability. The turf stands up to constant use without wearing thin or developing holes. Rain or shine, your playground stays ready for play. Many families who install artificial grass in their yards choose upgraded safety padding in areas around swing sets and play structures.
Features That Protect Your Children
Here is what makes our playground safety turf different from standard artificial grass:
- •Impact-absorbing padding: Foam underlayment cushions falls from playground equipment
- •ASTM certified: Meets national safety standards for fall height protection
- •Excellent drainage: Water flows through quickly so kids can play after rain
- •Non-toxic materials: Lead-free, safe for children who put hands in mouth
- •ADA accessible: Smooth surface works for wheelchairs and mobility devices
- •Antimicrobial protection: Resists bacteria and mold growth
We customize the padding thickness based on the height of your play equipment. Taller structures need thicker padding. Our team calculates the exact specifications required to meet safety codes. For schools and commercial playgrounds, we ensure full compliance with local regulations. If you operate a daycare or preschool, we also handle commercial playground installations that meet strict safety requirements.
Professional Installation for Maximum Safety
Site Assessment and Planning
We start by measuring your playground area and identifying all equipment that needs fall protection. Swings, slides, climbing structures, and monkey bars each have specific fall zone requirements. We map out where padding is needed and calculate the correct thickness for each area. You get a detailed plan showing exactly what we will install.
Base Preparation and Padding
Proper installation starts below the surface. We remove existing materials, level the ground, and ensure good drainage. Then we install the shock-absorbing padding layer. This foam material is what provides the safety cushioning. The thickness varies based on your equipment heights, typically ranging from half an inch to two inches.
Turf Installation and Testing
Finally, we install the synthetic turf over the padding. We seam sections invisibly and secure edges so they will not lift. After installation, we test the surface to verify it meets the required safety ratings. Most playground projects take 2-4 days depending on size. For larger projects that include pet areas or other features, we coordinate the work to minimize disruption to your facility.
