Why many homes, playgrounds and entertaining areas across the country are turning to Artificial Turf?

Traditional grass/turf is difficult to maintain and can prove expensive in repairs and ongoing maintenance tasks like mowing, patching and other repairs.

A SmartGrass, artificial turf surface is far cleaner, safer and far more comfortable, forgiving and more aesthetically pleasing than a natural grass surface, particularly a natural turf surface which is badly worn and in need of repair.

Let’s look at the key benefits more closely.

Comfort.

Kids like nothing more than to run around and roll around, often barefooted. SmartGrass products utilize a blade system which is soft and gentle on the skin. It has a much more comfortable feel underfoot than conventional grass, particularly when the grass is worn and patchy. When installed, it is also more springy and comfortable underfoot than natural turf.

Safety.

Many people are mistaken in thinking that a synthetic grass blade might be like nylon and cut/burn or scrape the skin when your child takes a tumble on the grass. Nothing could be further from the truth. These grass blades are designed to be safe and not cause cuts or abrasions. Since many sporting facilities utilize SmartGrass, it’s critical that the artificial turf surfaces are safe and durable. Also, for playground areas we recommend an under-surface which is more forgiving, so falling on an artificial turf play area actually provides a cushioning effect superior to that of natural grass.

Artificial turf products are also free from chemicals, including lead. If you consider a natural lawn in the context of it being a play area for kids, then you have chemical fertilizers, weedkillers and pesticides which are in continual contact with the skin. These chemicals are absorbed by clothing and remain in contact with the skin long after your child has finished playing outdoors. With an artificial lawn you do not have to worry about your child’s safety in this regard. Also, synthetic turf is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-microbial, it is impervious to molds and fungi which can cause allergy problems in susceptible children.

Durability.

Artificial turf is the perfect surface for playgrounds and play areas. It is a high-durability surface designed specifically for frequent use in harsh environments. The surface will not wear in the way that a natural lawn wears, it will not become patchy and muddy.

SmartGrass artificial lawn products are designed with longevity in mind. The initial investment is higher than a natural lawn however the pay-back will be realized each year as you see the benefits of eliminated maintenance costs, so it’s important that this financial pay-back continues over many years. That’s why these products typically have an active life of up to 25 years, depending on the degree of use and type of use.

All in all artificial turf makes far more practical and financial sense than traditional grass. If the area is in your yard, and visible from your property, then it also makes complete aesthetic sense too, since you won’t be looking at a muddy battlefield through your windows!

These playground surfaces have proven so popular that many parks and municipalities have chosen to install them, along with schools, colleges and Universities.

With lower operational costs, improved drainage, improved safety and durability, it makes complete sense to install an artificial play surface in a home, high-traffic park or public playground.

Installation.

The route you take will generally be determined by the sq ft of the area to be turfed, the complexity of the surface to be turfed, and your own attitude towards DIY projects in general. If you’re a keen DIY’er then in most instances, installing an artificial turf playground area should be an acceptable challenge for you.

If you decide to go it alone then we can help you plan out the project and make sure that everything runs smoothly. Obviously, ground preparation is key to a successful installation, which includes overcoming any issues surrounding drainage. A poorly planned or executed installation can result in problems down the line.
