How to Choose the best Artificial Grass for Playgrounds
As you explore the different playground turf options available, consider the following factors to help you choose the right product for your needs.
Pile height: The pile height of the turf can affect how the turf appears and how it feels underfoot. Shorter piles are often preferred for golf courses, while a taller pile makes for increased comfort and cushion.
Tiles versus rolls: Playground turf for backyard use is available in both tile and roll forms. Each form offers its own advantages. Tiles are more convenient and easier to move and install. Rolls cover larger areas more quickly, but are also heavier so you will need multiple people to help with transportation and installation.
Indoor versus outdoor use: Different products are suitable for different uses. Consider whether you'll be using the turf indoors or outdoors. You may find that different installation methods are needed for each option.
Fall height ratings: Some turf even offers fall height ratings. This is particularly valuable for playground turf, since it means that the turf can help to minimize the chance of injury when a child falls from a particular height.
Installation method: Be sure to familiarize yourself with the installation method for each product you're considering. Some products need to be paired with fill for added cushion and stability.
Cost and budget: We offer playground turf at a variety of different price points. Be sure to factor in the cost of the product, as well as the cost of any fill needed as well as the installation cost when determining the overall cost of the project.
