Why Synthetic Turf Is Perfect for Playgrounds
Why Synthetic Turf Is Perfect for Playgrounds
Playgrounds are magical places where children allow their imaginations to roam while learning new skills. There’s the moment a toddler climbs a ladder for the first time and giggles from the baby gliding down the slide on her mom’s lap. There are games of follow-the-leader and tag.
Then there are shoes sinking into the mud, bare feet running through dirt filled with bacteria, and bloody knees from the occasional fall. Those last instances aren’t so magical and are the reason every play area needs synthetic playground turf.
Benefits of Synthetic Playground Turf
When you invest in Brisbane artificial lawn, you bring a softer, safer surface to your child’s play area. Whether you’re transforming your backyard into a safe play area for your family or creating a community playground for your neighborhood or city, synthetic turf has the following advantages over natural grass, dirt, gravel, mulch, or sand:
- Softer – Redlands artificial turf is less likely to scrape and cut knees or hands after a fall. It also absorbs more shock, providing a safer surface for little ones playing hard.
- Less Maintenance – You don’t have to worry about mowing and weeding your artificial turf. You can spend more time enjoying the fun with the little ones.
- Water Savings – You don’t have to water artificial lawns or watch it wither in the heat of summer. You save on your water bill and never have to pay for sprinklers and other lawn watering equipment.
- Eliminates Rocks & Mud – Your synthetic playground turf is installed without rocks and other objects that may otherwise hurt tender feet, knees, and arms. Natural grass is more likely to contain hard rocks and reduces to messy mud pits when it rains.
- Eliminates Bacteria & Chemicals – E. coli and other bacteria thrive in natural grass and dirt. When you add artificial turf, you install a barrier between bacteria and the children enjoying your playground. You also don’t have to fertilize synthetic turf, which eliminates potential toxins from your environment.
You can expect your synthetic playground turf to last up to 25 years even with heavy foot traffic. It will look just as attractive in the winter as it does in the spring and summer. Best of all, it will free you from the grind of routine maintenance that may otherwise consume most of your free time.
Synthetic Playground Turf is Healthier for You & the Environment
Some people assume that using natural grass or dirt is the safest option for the environment, but that’s not in line with scientific research completed to date. Studies have shown that synthetic turf made from recycled tires has a
lower environmental impact than grass fields of equivalent size.
Your Brisbane artificial lawn is safer for the environment, safer for your children, and safer for adults who may also enjoy the playground. You can lower your carbon footprint while creating a more sustainable playground that looks great without hours and hours of maintenance.
