Increase The Safety of Your Residential Playground With Synthetic Grass!
There are few places as fun or as wild as a residential playground. Children love to get outside to burn their energy by running, jumping, swinging, and playing games. No matter how hard you try to make their experience a fun and safe one, someone is always bound to fall or scrape a knee on the ground.
While parents and adult supervisors do their best to maximize protection for their kids, they can’t always be there to catch them as they fall. In these situations, it might be worth it to have the team at Synthetic Grass Masters install synthetic grass on your residential playground.
What Is Wrong With Natural Grass For Playgrounds?
Is there anything prettier than a well-manicured lawn on a beautiful spring day? If you own a home, probably not! While we love the aesthetic appeal of natural green grass, it doesn’t exactly benefit children in the ways that matter.
Here are just a few reasons to consider installing synthetic grass rather than natural grass.
- Safety – Natural grass is gorgeous but it is uneven, not cushioned, and dangerously slippery when it gets wet. Children are already chaotic and all it takes is one slip for an injury to happen.
- Poor Aesthetics – Natural grass becomes bare, dead, and hardened as it dies around the areas most frequently used by children. Bare patches of ground can quickly cause children to slip and fall, leading to potential injury.
- Allergens – Finally, natural grass exposes children to hazards including pollen allergies, toxic weeds, insects, and hidden holes in the ground. Professionally installed synthetic grass can go a long way toward minimizing these issues.
While ideal for our lawns and commercial properties, natural grass isn’t exactly the most inspiring choice for playgrounds and high-traffic areas with children.
What Is Synthetic Grass?
Simulating the look and feel of real grass, artificial grass from Synthetic Grass Masters can solve plenty of playground-related problems. As one of the most cost-effective and convenient alternative materials to grass, synthetic grass introduces a soft, easy-to-clean, and durable material that does not fade under the light of the sun.
Benefits of Synthetic Grass
- Safer Surface – Artificial grass is much more shock-absorbent than natural grass. Supported by padding, artificial grass creates a safer surface for children in the event that they fall, especially from height.
- Long Lasting Material – Synthetic grass will not fade under the light of the sun nor will it require constant watering and nutritional support. Synthetic grass is the perfect ‘hands off’ choice for busy playgrounds.
