Playground & Safety Turf

Why Safety Turf Matters

Traditional playground surfaces like mulch, gravel, or even natural grass can pose hazards. Mulch displaces and compacts, creating hard spots and tripping hazards. Gravel is rough on skin during falls. Natural grass becomes muddy, develops bare spots, and offers minimal cushioning. Safety turf eliminates these problems:

• •Impact Absorption: Specialized padding under the turf provides cushioning that meets ASTM F1292 fall height standards, reducing injury risk.
• •Consistent Surface: No holes, divots, or uneven areas that cause trips and falls. Stays level and safe throughout all seasons.
• •Clean and Hygienic: Drains quickly after rain with no mud or puddles. Easy to clean and sanitize for schools and daycare facilities.
• •Non-Toxic Materials: Lead-free, cadmium-free, and free from harmful chemicals. Safe for children who put hands and toys in their mouths.
• •ADA Compliant: Creates accessible play surfaces that meet ADA requirements for mobility devices and wheelchairs.

Where Safety Turf Works Best

We install playground turf for a wide variety of applications across the Huntsville area. Residential play areas give your kids a safe space to play in your own backyard. Schools and daycare centers reduce maintenance costs while providing year-round safe surfaces. HOA playgrounds stay clean and attractive without constant mulch replacement.

Common Installations

Under and around swing sets where traditional surfaces wear away quickly. Around climbing structures where fall protection is critical. Play areas combined with residential artificial grass to create completely low-maintenance backyards. Splash pad perimeters that need quick drainage and soft surfaces. Daycare outdoor spaces that see heavy daily use.

Many families also choose safety turf for general play areas where kids run, play games, and enjoy outdoor time. The soft, cushioned surface is comfortable for sitting, rolling, and active play. It works beautifully alongside paver walkways to create defined spaces within your yard.

Professional Installation

Installing playground turf correctly is critical for safety. We don't just lay turf over existing ground. Our process includes removing existing surface materials, grading for proper drainage, installing impact-absorbing padding based on your equipment's fall height requirements, and then securing the turf with the appropriate infill materials.

We offer various padding thicknesses to meet different safety requirements. The padding depth depends on the maximum fall height of your play equipment. Taller structures require thicker padding. We'll assess your specific needs and recommend the right system to meet safety standards while staying within your budget.

Safety turf comes in multiple colors, allowing you to create bright, engaging play spaces. Many customers choose to add colorful designs, shapes, or educational elements directly into the turf. Installation typically takes two to four days depending on area size and complexity. Every installation includes proper drainage to prevent water accumulation.
