Playground & Safety Turf

The Safest Surface for Kids to Play

When kids play, falls happen. Our playground safety turf in St. Charles is specifically designed to cushion impacts and reduce injury risk while providing a clean, mud-free surface that drains quickly after rain. Schools, daycares, parks, and homeowners trust our safety turf to protect children during active play.

Safety turf is different from regular artificial grass. We use thicker padding underneath and longer, softer fibers on top to create a cushioned surface that meets or exceeds playground safety standards. Your kids get maximum protection without sacrificing the fun of outdoor play.

Why Parents and Schools Choose Safety Turf

Playground turf offers benefits that traditional playground surfaces like wood chips, mulch, or natural grass simply cannot match:

• •Impact Protection: Cushioned layers absorb falls and reduce injury severity compared to hard surfaces
• •Always Clean: No mud, no wood chips in shoes, and no tracking dirt inside
• •Excellent Drainage: Surface stays playable immediately after rain, unlike natural grass that gets soggy
• •No Splinters or Allergens: Safer than wood chips and better for kids with grass allergies
• •ADA Accessible: Creates smooth pathways for wheelchairs and walkers
• •Minimal Maintenance: No replenishing mulch, no mowing, no bare spots to repair

Perfect for Every Play Environment

We install playground safety turf for residential homes, schools, daycares, churches, parks, and community centers throughout St. Charles. Each application gets the right level of padding based on equipment height and expected use. Swing set areas need more cushioning than open play spaces, and we design each installation accordingly.

For homeowners, safety turf creates a dedicated play zone where kids can run, jump, and play without parents worrying about injuries or mess. Many families combine playground turf with our pet-friendly turf systems to create a backyard that works for both kids and dogs.

Schools and daycares appreciate how safety turf reduces maintenance costs and provides a consistent, safe surface year-round. The turf handles heavy use from dozens of kids every day without wearing out or developing dangerous bare spots. Our commercial turf installations follow the same high standards we use for playground surfaces.

Meeting Safety Standards You Can Trust

We take playground safety seriously. Our installations meet ASTM F1292 impact attenuation standards, which measure how well a surface protects against fall injuries. We calculate the critical fall height for your equipment and install the appropriate thickness of shock-absorbing pad underneath the turf.
