Having a thick and plush style of artificial turf in a playground area can keep your kids feeling comfortable as they play, and it can give you peace of mind about how safe they'll be if they ever fall. The Play Time artificial grass for playground surface option features 2.25-inch foam underlayment that works to provide a 9-foot ASTM fall height rating. Create a beautiful playground turf surface that will stay green throughout the year.
Playground Turf Padding
This GrassTex playground grass turf padding product works great in any area where children will be playing, running, and probably falling at some point. The artificial grass for playgrounds consists of a backing made of dual-layered woven polypropylene with a SilverBack Polyurethane coating. The 2.25-inch foam playground turf padding is installed underneath the artificial grass turf as a base to create a padded playground surface.
This thick playground turf padding foam underlayment is the key component that gives our artificial grass for playgrounds its high level of softness. As a fall protection soft turf, it's certified to a 9-foot fall height rating, which makes it an ideal option for use around playground equipment. In fact, this artificial grass for playgrounds was designed as the next generation of padded playground surfaces.
Atop the backing is a playground artificial grass that consists of a polyethylene yarn polymer that measures 1.25 inches in thickness. With such a long yarn in this fall protection soft grass turf, you'll receive a realistic look. Our Play Time Playground Turf works as a sharp-looking landscaping product too that offers an olive green thatch, resulting in a plush body and natural look.
The combination of the long yarn in the top layer and the thick foam pad base layer creates a safe and resilient padded playground turf material. The fiber top layer acts as a weed barrier.
The rolls of turf are available in 15 foot wide sections that are custom cut to the length you need. The 2.25-inch foam padding comes in rectangle-shaped mat pieces that measure 4x5 feet.
ChargeGuard Feature
Play Time Turf features ChargeGuard, which reduces static discharge. ChargeGuard is built into the blades of synthetic grass, giving them resistance to static electricity buildup, which is important in playgrounds where equipment could have a static buildup.

Many people will have a contractor install artificial turf, but some people choose to do the installation themselves. If you have questions about installation, please call our representatives. You may be interested in our blog about how to care for and maintain artificial grass.

A: This can be installed over concrete, cement, asphalt, or crush compacted stone. It should not be installed over sand.
Q: Can this be installed over grass?
A: No, this system needs 3-4 inches of crushed stone compacted base for proper drainage.
Q: How fast is the grass damaged by the sun? Would this grass survive a daily sun wave of 100 degrees and up? Will the grass flatten or melt?
A: The artificial grass turf is designed for long-term outdoor use in all climates and is not affected by the heat of the sun.
Q: How does it hold up to dog urine?
A: This turf will allow for moisture to flow through. For recommendations on pet turf, please contact one of our sales representatives.
Q: What is the best playground surface material?
A: This playground turf meets an eight foot fall height requirement. It would be a very safe choice for a playground.
Q: What do you use to finish the edges of the turf?
A: The turf/padding is generally installed within a 4x4 inch wooden curb system or you can bury/backfill the outside edge of the turf with dirt.
Q: Is the turf glued to the padding?
A: The 4x5 foam padding is loosely laid beneath the turf. It is not glued.
Q: I am running an outdoor circus school from May to October in Ottawa, Ontario. I would be putting this down over the natural grass, taking it back off at the end of the season, and replanting natural grass after we are gone. I understand that usually, this is not the best way to install it, but is it still doable? Though the ground is mainly flat, the ground will not be leveled off perfectly, and we won't put gravel under it. Is it possible to just roll this onto the slightly uneven grass or ground directly? We would do fitness-class-style activities on it. Is it cushy enough to do somersaults and cartwheels on it? If we take it out at the end of the season, can we store it after a good hose down? How long does it stay wet after it rains?
A: This playground turf needs to be installed permanently over a hard or flat base. Not grass/dirt. We do not currently offer temporary playground turf. Cleaning, maintenance, and installation instructions can be located on this product page toward the bottom.
Q: Can this be installed onto pea gravel?
A: A compacted base of ¼-inch minus crushed stone/stone dust is recommended. Pea gravel may not compact well.
Q: Can you crush my desert landscape yard and add turf over that?
A: While we sell the artificial turf, we do not offer installation services. We recommend contacting a contractor to see if your desert yard would be a suitable surface for crushing a turf base.

We are super happy with the PlayTime turf with 2'' pad. The kids love to play on this surface. We're glad that we went this route instead of rubber tiles.
