22 Sep It’s Not Just Grass, It’s A Playground
Many people especially children love the feeling of running and playing on grass. It’s soft underfoot and being outdoors supports both physical and mental well-being. However, natural grass in high-traffic areas like schoolyards and playgrounds tends to wear out quickly, leaving bare patches and uneven surfaces.
That’s where artificial grass comes in as the perfect solution.
For schools and play areas, artificial turf offers a range of benefits that make it a smart and sustainable choice.
Low Wear and Tear
Artificial grass is highly durable and requires minimal upkeep. Unlike natural grass, which becomes patchy and worn in high-traffic areas, synthetic turf maintains its neat, consistent appearance. A simple brush with a firm bristle broom is usually enough to refresh the fibers and keep the surface looking clean and well-groomed.
Soft and Safe
Safety is the top priority when designing playgrounds for children. At Signature Turf, we take that responsibility seriously by creating play areas that are both fun and safe. Compared to natural soil or grass, artificial turf provides a softer surface, reducing the risk of injury from slips or falls.
For playgrounds with climbing frames or other equipment, we offer the option to install shock pads underneath the turf. Our ProGame Shock Pads are easy to integrate and effectively absorb impact, meeting both Australian and European fall height standards. This ensures a safe and comfortable play environment for children of all ages.
Safe for Children — Even If They Chew It
Young children often explore the world with their mouths, which is why safety is key. The fibers used in Signature Turf artificial grass are non-toxic and guaranteed safe, so there’s no need to worry if little ones decide to take a bite.
Clean Clothes, No Mud
Natural grass turns messy fast especially after rain leading to muddy clothes and slippery surfaces. Synthetic turf avoids all that. It stays clean and dry, even after a downpour, keeping your play area (and the kids) looking fresh and tidy.
Softer, Safer Surfaces
For playgrounds and schools, we recommend Signature 30 or any of our long-bladed turf varieties. These products offer a softer feel underfoot and better cushioning during falls. The longer fibers help absorb impact, reducing the risk of bruises and scrapes an ideal solution for active kids.
