Playground & Safety Turf

Safety First, Fun Always

Kids fall. That's just part of playing and learning. But the surface they fall on makes a huge difference. Playground safety turf gives kids a soft, cushioned landing that reduces injuries while creating a clean, attractive play area that stays usable year-round.

We install certified playground turf for schools, daycares, parks, community centers, and residential play areas throughout Des Plaines. This specialized turf meets or exceeds ASTM safety standards for fall height protection, giving parents and facility managers peace of mind while kids play.

Built for Safety and Durability

Playground turf isn't just regular artificial grass. It's engineered specifically for high-impact play areas with features that protect kids:

• •Impact-Absorbing Padding: Thick foam underlayment cushions falls from play equipment, meeting ASTM F1292 standards.
• •Non-Toxic Materials: Lead-free, PFAS-free, completely safe for children. Passes all safety certifications.
• •Antimicrobial Protection: Inhibits bacteria and mold growth for healthier play spaces.
• •Superior Drainage: No puddles or mud. Kids can play 20 minutes after rain.
• •ADA Compliant: Smooth, wheelchair-accessible surface that meets accessibility requirements.
• •Splinter and Allergen Free: No wood chips, no grass pollen, no insects. Just clean, safe play surface.

Perfect for Every Play Space

We install playground turf in all kinds of locations. Schools love it because it eliminates mud tracked into buildings and reduces playground maintenance. Daycares appreciate the safety features and year-round usability. Parks departments choose it for durability under heavy use.

Residential customers install it under swing sets, around trampolines, and in play yards. HOAs use it in common areas and tot lots. Church playgrounds, apartment complexes, and special needs facilities all benefit from the safety and cleanliness of professional playground turf. Anywhere kids play, this turf makes sense.

Beyond Safety: The Complete Benefits

Safety is the main reason people choose playground turf, but the benefits go way beyond that. The surface stays clean and mud-free, so kids don't track dirt everywhere. Maintenance drops to almost nothing compared to natural grass or wood chips that need constant replenishing.

Playground turf also looks great year-round, which matters for schools and commercial facilities. Parents see a well-maintained playground and feel confident about the facility. The turf lasts 15-20 years with minimal upkeep, making it extremely cost-effective over time. Many facilities report that switching to safety turf was one of their best decisions.
