Playground & Safety Turf

Why Elizabeth Parents and Schools Choose Safety Turf

When kids play, falls happen. That's just part of growing up. But where they fall makes a huge difference in whether they bounce right back up or need a trip to the nurse. Traditional playground surfaces like mulch, gravel, and hard-packed dirt don't offer much protection. Safety turf changes that completely.

Playground safety turf is artificial grass with extra cushioning underneath that absorbs impact from falls. It meets ASTM safety standards for critical fall height, which means it's tested and proven to reduce injuries. Schools, daycares, parks, and homeowners throughout Elizabeth are installing safety turf because it protects kids better than any other surface while staying clean and low-maintenance.

What Makes Safety Turf Different

Safety turf isn't just regular artificial grass. It's a complete system designed specifically for play areas where children need extra protection. Here's what sets it apart:

• Impact-absorbing padding. We install shock pads beneath the turf that cushion falls from swings, slides, and climbing equipment. The padding thickness depends on your equipment height.
• ASTM certified fall protection. Our installations meet or exceed safety standards for playground surfaces, giving you peace of mind.
• Non-toxic, lead-free materials. Everything we use is safe for children. No harmful chemicals, no allergens, no worries.
• Excellent drainage. Rain drains through immediately so kids can play right after storms. No muddy puddles or standing water.
• Cleaner than mulch or gravel. Safety turf doesn't scatter, track into buildings, or need constant replenishing. It stays in place and stays clean.

Where Safety Turf Works Best

We install playground turf in all kinds of places throughout Elizabeth. Schools use it under jungle gyms and around play structures. Daycares create safe outdoor play zones that parents appreciate. Homeowners with swing sets and playsets in their backyards love how it protects their kids while eliminating muddy mess.

Safety turf works for any play area where kids might fall. We've installed it under monkey bars, around trampolines, beneath tree houses, and throughout entire play yards. The size and shape don't matter. We can turf a small 200 square foot area under a backyard playset or an entire school playground covering thousands of square feet. Every installation gets the same attention to safety standards and proper padding.

How We Install Safety Turf Systems

Installing safety turf correctly is crucial for proper fall protection. We start with site preparation and base leveling. Then we install the appropriate thickness of shock pad based on your equipment's fall height. The artificial turf goes on top, secured properly so it won't shift or separate. We test the completed surface to verify it meets safety standards before you let kids play on it. Maintenance is simple. Brush off leaves and debris, rinse occasionally, and inspect the surface once a year. That's it. Safety turf lasts 15 to 20 years with minimal upkeep, and it keeps protecting kids day after day.
