How does artificial playground turf improve safety compared to traditional surfaces?

Artificial playground turf provides superior impact protection through specialized shock-absorption technology and padding systems, significantly reducing injury risks from falls during active play compared to hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt.

Can playground artificial turf withstand Indiana's harsh winter conditions?

Yes, our Playground Grass Academy synthetic turf is engineered to perform consistently through extreme weather conditions, including freezing temperatures, snow, and ice, maintaining its safety features and appearance year-round.

What maintenance is required for artificial playground turf?

Playground artificial turf requires minimal maintenance, typically involving periodic brushing to maintain fiber alignment, occasional rinsing to remove debris, and annual professional inspections to ensure optimal safety performance.

How long does artificial playground turf installation typically take?

Most playground artificial turf installations are completed within 3-5 days, depending on the project size and site conditions. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to school activities and ensure proper curing time.

Is artificial playground turf environmentally safe for children?

Yes, our playground synthetic turf uses environmentally friendly materials that are non-toxic and safe for children. The turf also eliminates the need for harmful pesticides, fertilizers, and excessive water usage required by natural grass.

Safe, Durable Playground Surfaces: Transform Children's Play Environments

Project Overview

ForeverLawn Northeast Indiana completed a comprehensive playground transformation at a Fort Wayne elementary school, addressing critical safety concerns with traditional hard surfaces. The project involved installing specialized Playground Grass Academy synthetic turf across 2,500 square feet of active play areas. The school administration sought a durable, low-maintenance solution that would provide superior impact protection for children while maintaining consistent performance through Indiana’s challenging weather conditions.

Our Approach

Our installation team began with thorough site preparation, ensuring proper drainage and base stabilization for optimal performance. The specialized artificial grass for playgrounds features advanced shock-absorption technology specifically engineered for high-impact play activities. We coordinated the installation during school breaks to minimize disruption, completing the project with precision grading and seamless turf integration. Our comprehensive artificial grass services included detailed safety testing to ensure compliance with playground safety standards.

Key Highlights

The completed installation provides exceptional impact protection with specialized padding underneath the synthetic surface, significantly reducing injury risks during active play. The weather-resistant turf maintains consistent performance through Fort Wayne’s harsh winters and hot summers, eliminating concerns about muddy or frozen play areas. The vibrant green appearance enhances the school’s outdoor aesthetics while requiring minimal maintenance compared to traditional surfaces. Advanced drainage systems ensure quick water removal, allowing children to return to play shortly after rain events.
