You love watching the kids laugh and play on your beautiful school playground, but overseeing the maintenance and replacement of the grounds makes you see it in an entirely different way. After a month of school being back in, you might be painfully aware of how deteriorated your playground has become. You immediately get to work on planning its replacement over the next break, and your first call is to us here at SYNLawn of Northeast Ohio, having heard of our excellent reputation and superior products.
What are the benefits of installing artificial playground turf?
Now you’re wondering why you should think about installing synthetic playground surfaces under the play equipment. The reasons are tantalizing, and we dare you to argue that it isn’t hugely beneficial to the safety of the kids, as well as to your district’s bottom line.
Artificial turf is low maintenance, whereas natural grass requires a great deal of upkeep, such as weekly mowing, weeding, and edging. Additionally, the kids can’t go outside for recess on natural grass right after it rains because of the puddles. However, SYNLawn playground surfaces have an outstanding drain rate that don’t let water stand enough to form puddles.
Speaking of weeding, applying pesticides and fertilizers isn’t very good for both the environment and the children. Think about the kids and adults with allergies, too. Studies show that grass allergies affect 10-30% of children and adults, and synthetic turf eliminates those issues. It allows you to reduce your carbon footprint. You are also more eco-friendly because you won’t have to worry about watering it, saving on water consumption.
How does artificial turf improve playground safety?
You may have tried things that claim to keep kids safe, like rubber mulch or sand; however, no material comes close to what SYNLawn’s Playground System can offer. Adults shouldn’t have to be on guard every time a child plays outside. It’s essential for their development, and it benefits them to be able to play freely. That’s why we’ve researched and come up with a system that creates a safe and happy atmosphere without risk of scrapes and fall injuries. It’s the perfect design for schools and municipalities.
Every inch of our playground turf has an eco-friendly foam padding installed underneath it that won’t be displaced even in the busiest areas. We are IPEMA certified and ASTM tested, meaning it’s proven to protect children from impact falls from up to 10 feet high. The surface is non-abrasive, meaning that a simple fall won’t turn into tears and a week of healing. You also won’t have to send kids home with grass stains on their clothes. It’s a win-win for everyone!
One of the best ways that it saves you money is that it’s resistant to weather issues. We want you to understand the drain rate. It will drain up to 30 inches of water per hour per square yard. In contrast, wood chips can stay wet for days after it rains. Additionally, grass and rubber surfaces can get extremely hot to the touch, making it difficult to play on, but our turf was designed to withstand even the hottest day without the color fading or being too hot to play on.
One of its best features is that we offer easily replaceable TrampleZones, giving us the ability to replace only a high-traffic area that may have been damaged instead of the entire playground. Plus, it looks so natural! You’ll have a consistently well-manicured area without all the work.
One more playground surface option…
You mean we have more than synthetic grass for playgrounds? Yes, we do! We also have PIP (Poured-In-Place) playground surfacing. We mix it and pour it on site, because it’s fully customizable. We create a seamless, durable surface that decreases the likelihood of head injuries if a child falls from play equipment. It’s ADA compliant and wheelchair-friendly, so everyone can be included. You can create designs with your school mascot and colors or make simple designs for elementary children, like dinosaurs and stars. Its only limit is your imagination.
We’ve shown you how SYNLawn playground surfaces can keep your kids safer and reduce their risk of injury when they’re just trying to enjoy themselves. Recess is the best time of day for many children. They play hard to release their pent-up energy, and it’s up to you to keep them safe. We can help make your job easier while saving you money in the long run with our low maintenance, padded playground turf that boasts a high drain rate, and a non-allergenic, non-abrasive surface.
