Playground FAQs

How Much Does Playground Turf Cost?

Pricing for playground systems depends on the materials used. Typically installation runs about $10 per sq. ft. The rise in price stems from the need for a more traffic-resistant material and antibacterial infill. 

If the homeowner selects to add a padding system for a provided safety barrier, that can run anywhere between $2.5 - $5 per sq. ft. Also, we always recommend a nail-free application in areas used by children. This will typically add $2 per sq. ft. Yes, we know playground turf can get a little pricy, but who can put a price tag on their children's safety?

Does Playground Turf Have High Safety Standards?

Sure. Safety standards have strict specifications and limitations. Manufacturers design systems that meet and exceed those requirements to ensure customer satisfaction. We walk you through the entire process to help you select a solution that fits your request and meets your budget.

Is Artificial Grass Beneficial For Playgrounds?

Yes! It could be argued that artificial turf is safer than natural grass for a few reasons:

• No Mud
  Let's face it, most kids love to get down and dirty. Installing artificial grass on playgrounds is an excellent and efficient way to remove dirt from their play area. Also, kids are known to put random stuff in their mouths. The cleanliness and lack of bugs are ideal conditions for children.

• Easy Cleaning
  With children, come messes. Opt for artificial turf and easily hose off any light spills!

• Added Padding
  With the soft pad installed under the surface of turf on playgrounds, the surface becomes much safer for play. 

Can I Place a Swing Set on Artificial Grass?

Yes! The weight of the swing set or playset will cause the grass to lay flat after a period of time. If you want to keep your turf in the best condition, we recommend regularly moving the playground sets or having the grass professionally brushed periodically.
