How long does artificial playground grass last in school environments?

High-quality playground artificial grass typically lasts 10-15 years in educational settings with proper installation and minimal maintenance, even under heavy daily use from students.

Is artificial playground grass safe for children?

Yes, modern playground artificial grass is specifically designed with safety features including impact-absorbing infill, non-toxic materials, and surfaces that meet or exceed playground safety standards.

What maintenance is required for school playground artificial grass?

Maintenance is minimal and includes periodic brushing to maintain fiber orientation, occasional rinsing, and removal of debris. No mowing, watering, or chemical treatments are needed.

Can artificial grass handle extreme weather conditions?

Playground artificial grass is engineered to withstand all weather conditions including heavy rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations, with excellent drainage preventing water accumulation.

How does artificial playground grass compare to natural grass for schools?

Artificial grass eliminates muddy conditions, provides consistent playing surfaces year-round, requires no irrigation or chemical treatments, and offers better durability under heavy student traffic.

Playground Grass Installation for Fort Wayne Schools

Project Overview

ForeverLawn Northeast Indiana completed a comprehensive playground transformation across the Fort Wayne Community Schools district, installing premium artificial grass in 21 designated play areas. Each playground area spans approximately 840 square feet, creating over 17,500 square feet of safe, consistent play surfaces throughout the district. This large-scale project addresses the need for durable, low-maintenance playground surfaces that can withstand heavy student use while maintaining their appearance year-round.

Our Approach

Our team implemented a systematic installation process across all 21 school locations, ensuring consistent quality and timing to minimize disruption to school activities. We coordinated closely with FWCS administrators to schedule installations during optimal timeframes for each school. The project utilized our specialized artificial grass for playgrounds designed specifically for high-traffic educational environments. Our Fort Wayne installation team completed each area with precision grading, proper drainage, and safety-certified infill materials.

Key Highlights

The installation features playground-grade artificial grass with enhanced safety padding and superior drainage capabilities, meeting all safety standards for educational facilities. Each of the 21 areas received identical treatment ensuring uniform appearance and performance across the entire school district. The synthetic surfaces eliminate mud, dust, and maintenance concerns while providing consistent traction and cushioning for student activities. This district-wide upgrade represents one of the largest educational playground transformations in the Fort Wayne area.
