Playground & Safety Turf

Safer Play Surfaces for Kids

When kids are playing, falls happen. That's just part of childhood. But the surface they fall on makes all the difference. Traditional playground surfaces like wood chips, gravel, or packed dirt can cause injuries and require constant maintenance. Our playground safety turf gives you a cleaner, safer alternative that cushions falls and stays in great condition for years.

We install playground safety turf for schools, daycare centers, churches, parks, and residential play areas throughout Bloomington. This isn't regular artificial grass. It's specially engineered with extra padding underneath to meet safety standards for fall protection. Your kids can run, climb, and play with an added layer of protection beneath their feet.

How Playground Turf Protects Kids

Safety turf systems work differently than regular artificial grass. They include multiple layers designed specifically to absorb impact and reduce injury risk. Here's what goes into every playground turf installation we do:

• Impact-Absorbing Pad - A thick foam layer underneath the turf that cushions falls from playground equipment
• Proper Base Preparation - Level, compacted foundation that ensures consistent cushioning across the entire surface
• Certified Fall Height Ratings - We install systems that meet ASTM standards for different equipment heights
• Excellent Drainage - Rain and spills drain through quickly so the playground stays usable year-round
• Non-Toxic Materials - Everything we use is safe for children, with no harmful chemicals or materials
• Splinter-Free Surface - Unlike wood chips, our turf won't cause splinters or scrapes

We work with playground equipment manufacturers to ensure your turf installation meets or exceeds safety requirements for your specific setup. Whether you have swings, slides, climbing structures, or all of the above, we'll design the right system.

Perfect for Schools and Daycare Centers

Schools and childcare facilities in Bloomington face unique challenges with outdoor play areas. You need surfaces that can handle hundreds of kids daily while meeting strict safety standards and staying within budget. Playground safety turf solves all of these problems at once.

Traditional surfaces like mulch need regular replacement. Gravel spreads everywhere and creates maintenance headaches. Grass turns into mud with heavy use. Our commercial-grade playground turf eliminates these issues while providing superior safety and cleanliness.

We've installed playground turf for numerous Bloomington area schools and daycares. Every project includes coordination with administrators, compliance documentation for safety inspections, and flexible scheduling to minimize disruption. We can work during summer break, weekends, or school holidays to get your playground ready without affecting daily operations.

Great for Backyard Playsets Too

You don't need a commercial facility to benefit from playground safety turf. Many Bloomington families install it around backyard playsets and swing sets. It's especially popular with parents who have kids with special needs or mobility challenges, as the even surface is easier to navigate than traditional options.

Residential playground turf installations are typically smaller and faster than commercial projects. We can usually complete a backyard playset area in one or two days. You'll have a safe, clean play surface that requires almost no maintenance and stays looking great for 15 to 20 years.

Combining playground turf with residential artificial grass for the rest of your yard creates a completely low-maintenance outdoor space. No more mowing, no muddy patches, and a consistent look throughout your property.
