The Most Realistic Artificial Grass for a Play Space
The Top Benefits for Utilizing Synthetic Turf in a Children’s Play Area
Synthetic turf play areas are safe due to padding. Right off the bat, one of the first and probably the best benefit to such an artificial grass play area is the safety factor. This grass is installed with a sand infill beneath the artificial turf layer, creating an insulated, padded section between the hard ground and the turf itself. This makes for spills, falls, tumbles, and wipeouts that just don’t hurt much.
Maintenance-free. Probably one of the best benefits to an artificial grass play area is the maintenance-free aspect to it. No more mowing. No more weeding. No more watering. No more trimming and edging. No more fertilizing. The list goes on and on. Synthetic turf is a one-time, “install it and leave it” prospect.
Allergy-free. Synthetic turfs and grasses are hypoallergenic, so while natural grass may contain all kinds of microbes and allergens that could send kids’ allergies spiraling, artificial grasses do not present this risk.
Water conservation is a big plus point too. Because artificial grass does not need to be watered, this beautiful addition to any play area is also eco-friendly and water conservant.
USA-sourced materials are made with top-level products and are non-toxic. Synthetic grass made in the U.S. is held to rigorous specifications by federal, state, and local regulations. Absolutely no toxic or harmful chemicals allowed. This creates a product that kids can play on all day with no risk to their health whatsoever.
Synthetic turf won’t get clothes dirty with grass stains either. This benefit speaks for itself. Fewer laundry loads for Mom, (more water conservation too), and fewer trips to the clothing retailer for Dad.
Artificial turf is perfect for high-traffic, heavy use areas. Unlike natural grass which can get damaged and beaten down by excessive use, synthetic turf is highly resilient, capable of withstanding even the most intense of roughhousing.
Synthetic turf won’t dull in heavy UV light. Again, this applies only to USA-sourced materials. Cheaper, imported turfs have calcium carbonate fillers added to them, which eventually fade in the sun. But locally-made and sourced turfs are fully UV-protected.
Artificial turf won’t get messy or sloppy after a rain either. Artificial grass is fully permeable, allowing stormwater to rapidly permeate through the backing layer and into the sand infill beneath. From there, it filters through the 30-grain sand and into the soil below, recharging the water table just as nature intended.
Synthetic turf is the perfect solution to common areas, playground areas, commercial playgrounds, backyards, day care facilities, churchyard playgrounds, and apartment complex common areas because it creates an aesthetic, pleasant, comfortable, safe, and easy-to-maintain environment for kids of all ages to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Artificial Turf for Kids’ Play Areas
Only in the hottest of sun. Our artificial turfs are made from polypropylene and tire cord, so it takes a lot to heat them up. Most of the time, if the turf is hot to the touch, it’ll be on a day so brutal you wouldn’t want your kids playing in it anyway.
Even in the most heavy-use scenarios, artificial turf will last for about twenty years or more.
Prices vary considerably, depending on location, installation requirements, the complexity of the job, and the type of turf needed. But one can expect to pay ten to twenty dollars per square foot.
While we don’t recommend using artificial turf on splash pads or water play areas, artificial turf will drain stormwater just fine.
Absolutely. No mulch or intermediate fillers are needed. Artificial turf can cover the entire play area, and it can come right up against and border all kinds of play equipment.
