Frequently Asked Questions

How does playground turf compare to rubber mulch or wood chips?

Playground turf offers several advantages: consistent safety performance without replenishment, accessibility for wheelchairs, cleaner play environment, and better aesthetics. While initial cost is higher, long-term maintenance costs are typically lower than loose-fill materials.

What fall height protection does playground turf provide?

By varying the thickness of shock padding beneath the turf, systems can be configured to protect falls from various heights—typically up to 12 feet depending on specific product combinations. We design each installation based on your equipment specifications.

Is playground turf safe in hot weather?

Like all outdoor surfaces, playground turf can become warm in direct sun. We recommend lighter-colored products, shade structures, and scheduling active play during cooler parts of the day during Fort Worth summers. Surface temperatures can be monitored for safety.

How long does playground turf last?

Quality playground turf installations typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. High-traffic areas may show wear sooner, but the overall system remains safe and functional for many years of active use.

Can playground turf be installed indoors?

Yes, playground turf can be installed indoors with appropriate subfloor preparation and drainage solutions. Many indoor play facilities use turf to create engaging, safe play environments.
