Playground & Safety Turf
Create safe, soft play areas that protect children from falls while staying clean and mud-free all year.
Safer Play Spaces for Kids
Every parent worries about their kids getting hurt during play. Scrapes from concrete, bruises from hard-packed dirt, and trips over uneven ground are all too common. Playground safety turf changes that by providing a cushioned surface that absorbs impacts and protects children during falls.
At CrestWorks Winston-Salem Artificial Grass, we install playground turf for homes, schools, daycares, parks, and community centers across Winston-Salem, NC. Your kids get a soft, safe place to play, and you get peace of mind knowing they are protected from serious injuries.
Why Safety Turf is Essential for Play Areas
Traditional playground surfaces like concrete, asphalt, or hard-packed dirt offer almost no cushioning when kids fall. Wood chips and mulch seem safer but scatter easily, expose hard ground underneath, and attract insects. Playground safety turf solves these problems with a permanently cushioned surface that stays in place.
Our professional artificial turf installation includes specialized padding beneath the surface to meet fall safety standards. This extra protection significantly reduces the risk of head injuries, broken bones, and other serious accidents.
Benefits of Playground Safety Turf
- •Impact Absorption: Cushioned underlayment protects kids from falls up to 10 feet
- •No Splinters or Stickers: Soft, smooth surface is gentle on knees, hands, and bare feet
- •Clean Play Area: No mud, dirt, or dust tracked inside after playtime
- •ADA Accessible: Smooth surface allows wheelchairs and walkers to navigate easily
- •Pest-Free Environment: No wood chips means fewer ants, spiders, and other bugs
- •Non-Toxic Materials: Made from child-safe, lead-free synthetic fibers
- •Drains Quickly: Kids can play right after rain without puddles or mud
Perfect for Every Play Space
We install playground turf under swing sets, around slides and climbing structures, beneath trampolines, and throughout entire play areas. Whether you are a parent upgrading your backyard or a school administrator improving outdoor facilities, we customize each installation to meet your specific needs.
Many families combine playground turf with residential artificial grass to create complete outdoor living spaces. Schools and daycares often add commercial turf to other areas for consistent, low-maintenance landscaping throughout the property.
Meeting Safety Standards
Playground safety turf is engineered to meet ASTM standards for fall height ratings. We install the appropriate underlayment thickness based on the height of your play equipment. This ensures your play area provides proper protection and meets insurance requirements for commercial installations.
The turf itself is designed to stay cooler in direct sunlight compared to rubber surfaces, and it does not break down or need constant replenishment like wood chips. Your play area looks great and performs reliably for years with minimal maintenance.
