Playground Turf

Playgrounds. They are the playscapes that lead to the Land of Make-Believe. This is where daydreams ignite that fire which inspire children to become: doctors, lawyers, firemen, inventors, scientists, astronauts, writers, teachers, police officers, engineers and even famous athletes. Our future business leaders of America will grow up on playgrounds.

Synthetic Playscapes

Playground Surfacing – Residential & Commercial Benefits

Long-term safety for children
Fall safety up to 9 feet
Soft, non-abrasive surface for no skinned knees
No more mud or dirt tracked inside
Deters bugs and pests
Green all year around

National Greens’ synthetic grass for playgrounds offers a graded surface with a thick foam cushion that is hidden beneath its surface. Then its long fibers a filled with small shock absorbing rubber pellets that provide a soft pillow like cushion when falling. Tougher than real grass, safer than real grass.

Our playgrounds are built to very high standards, and safety is priority one in every design. Even long, luscious real grass conceals a hard layer of earth and stone beneath. To fall on this kind of ground is rather painful; in the worst case, it can cause serious injury. Modern playgrounds require modern equipment, surroundings and accommodations.

Our playground turf can be installed with new or pre existing equipment. We can also supply the equipment needed for any playground. Artificial grass provides a far superior protective ground surface for outdoor play areas, particularly areas with climbing frames and raised play equipment. No room for playground equipment?

Let us design a custom play area for your family. Kids can play in a safe environment free from allergens, pesticides, mud and stains. These play areas are built to the same standards as our full size playground safety specifications and can have equipment added at any time.

Playground Artificial Grass

This diagram shows the general construction and layers of our synthetic playground surface.

Once the dirt surface is shaped and planned to desire we compact the surface and pin Geotextile Fabric over the complete synthetic playground work surface
Next, we create the static base of the playground by laying layers of Crushed Granite in finer grades until it resembles formed concrete. The granite surface it constantly soaked and compacted to insure the surface is uniform and solid. Once completed the surface acts as a solid slab of granite ensuring a perfectly flat playing surface that lasts the life of the playground
A Shock Absorbing Foam Pad is then applied and bonded to the entire playground surface (different fall height options available). This gives a resistance to injuries and concussions
The Synthetic Playground Turf is then applied to the foam base
Silica Sand is evenly and lightly applied to the surface of the field and brushed in to allow the fibers to stand up straight. After the first layer of sand is finished a thick layer of Granulated Rubber is applied. This creates a “youth and equipment” safe, playing surface that provides excellent drainage as well

Playground Design Process with Artificial Turf

Whether your playground is for a school, a daycare center, a church, or a community play park, at National Greens, we understand that environments influence our perception of the world around us.

We understand that different age groups need and require different spaces. Allow our team to design an environment that encourages child development. We can provide the place that inspires the imagination and artistic abilities in those youngsters seeking adventure.

We can even create a layout with multi-colored turf squares for hopscotch and incorporate colored sand for sandboxes! Our team pays close attention to the regulations and strictly adheres to the safety standards for the Fall Height recommendations.

Our playground turf layouts can cover the hard, unforgiving ground, providing softer landing spots in case of trips and falls, which can minimize broken bones, bumps and bruises. Let us design those fun playscapes! We can make it real.
