Playground & Safety Turf

Your kids deserve a safe play area that cushions falls and stands up to daily use. Our playground safety turf provides critical impact protection while creating a clean, attractive surface for Frederick schools, daycares, parks, and residential play areas.

We install specialized safety turf systems designed to meet ASTM safety standards for fall protection. These aren't regular artificial grass installations. They use thick shock-absorbing padding underneath colorful, durable turf that protects children during active play.

Safety First: Why Playground Turf Matters

Traditional playground surfaces like wood chips, gravel, or dirt require constant maintenance and don't always provide consistent fall protection. Wet wood chips get slippery, gravel spreads everywhere, and dirt turns to mud. Playground turf solves all these problems while meeting safety requirements.

Here's what makes playground safety turf the better choice:

• Impact absorption: Multi-layer systems cushion falls from climbing structures, swings, and slides
• ASTM certified: Meets or exceeds safety standards for critical fall height protection
• Consistent surface: No holes, uneven areas, or displaced materials that create tripping hazards
• All-weather use: Drains quickly after rain and won't turn muddy or become slippery
• Easy to clean: Remove debris easily and sanitize the surface when needed
• Accessibility friendly: Smooth surface allows wheelchair access and mobility for all children

Our Playground Turf Installation Process

Installing playground safety turf requires expertise in both turf installation and safety compliance. We follow industry best practices and local requirements for every project.

Here's what we do:

First, we assess your Frederick playground area and discuss safety requirements based on equipment heights and expected use. We measure critical fall zones around climbing structures, swings, and slides, then recommend the appropriate padding thickness for proper protection.

Next, we prepare the base and install specialized shock-absorbing padding. This underlayment is the key to safety. We use foam pads or rubber materials specifically rated for fall protection, with thickness varying based on equipment height and safety requirements.

Finally, we install durable playground turf over the padding. We use products designed for high-traffic play areas with strong backing, UV protection, and colors that stay vibrant. We secure all edges, create smooth transitions, and test the entire system before completion.
