Playground & Safety Turf

Why Parents and Schools Choose Safety Turf

When kids play, falls happen. That is just reality. But the surface they land on makes all the difference between a minor stumble and a serious injury. Safety turf provides cushioning that significantly reduces injury risk compared to concrete, asphalt, dirt, or even natural grass.

We install specialized playground turf throughout Paterson for schools, daycares, parks, and family homes. This is not standard lawn turf. Playground safety turf features extra padding underneath and impact-absorbing materials that meet ASTM safety standards for fall height protection.

You get a clean, soft surface where kids can run, jump, and play without tracking mud inside or creating bare spots from heavy use. The turf stays consistently safe and attractive year-round with virtually no maintenance. Learn more about our family-friendly artificial grass options in Paterson.

How Playground Turf Keeps Kids Safe

Here is what makes playground safety turf different from regular artificial grass:

• •Impact Padding: Multiple layers of shock-absorbing materials underneath the turf surface
• •Fall Height Rating: Certified protection for falls from swings, slides, and climbing equipment
• •ADA Compliance: Wheelchair accessible surfaces meeting accessibility standards
• •No Splinters or Debris: Eliminates hazards from wood chips or gravel
• •Excellent Drainage: Dries quickly after rain so kids can play sooner
• •Non-Toxic Materials: Safe for children who put everything in their mouths

Professional Installation for Maximum Safety

Safety turf only works if it is installed correctly. We do not cut corners or skip steps. Our team follows strict installation protocols to ensure your playground surface meets all safety standards.

First, we assess your playground equipment and determine the required fall height rating for each zone. Different equipment needs different padding levels. Then we prepare the base, install the appropriate shock pad layers, and secure the safety turf on top. Everything is tested to verify impact attenuation meets safety requirements.

The result is a playground surface that protects children while requiring minimal maintenance from you. No more replenishing wood chips, raking gravel back into place, or dealing with muddy, uneven surfaces. If you also need turf in other areas of your property, we offer complete residential installations and pet-friendly turf options.

Where We Install Playground Turf

Playground safety turf works for any space where children play. Schools and daycares use it under swing sets, around slides, and throughout entire play areas. Parks install it in community playgrounds to reduce maintenance and improve safety. Daycare centers appreciate how it eliminates mess while keeping kids protected.

Families also install safety turf in backyards around play structures, under trampolines, and in general play zones. It gives parents peace of mind knowing their kids have a safer place to play. The clean surface means less dirt tracked inside, and kids can play outside even right after rain because the turf drains and dries so quickly.
