When it comes to our kids, safety is our top priority. While there are many options available for playground surfaces such as mulch, pea gravel, or rubber; artificial grass for playgrounds exceeds them all. The other options fall short when it comes to consistent safety protection. Individualized surfaces like mulch, gravel, or sand tend to thin out over time due to kids running through it and tracking it all over the yard. It can get quite messy. As these materials become displaced the ground becomes exposed leaving you with an unsafe surface for your kids and you’ll end up having to purchase more.
Rubber surfaces for playgrounds start off with a lot of protection. However, in the summer, the rubber gets really hot and in the winter, it gets hard and brittle which will compromise the integrity of the protection it offers. Artificial grass for playgrounds is the only playground surface that provides consistent safety for all types of playground equipment. The best part is, artificial turf is super easy to maintain and adds beautiful vibrant color to any playground setup.
