Playground & Safety Turf

Safer Play Spaces for Kids

When kids are playing, falls happen. That's just part of being a kid. But the surface they land on makes all the difference. At PureGround Canton Artificial Grass, we install playground safety turf that's designed specifically to cushion falls and prevent injuries. It's softer than natural grass, cleaner than mulch, and way safer than concrete or hard-packed dirt.

Our playground turf meets safety standards for fall protection and provides cushioning that helps prevent scrapes, bruises, and more serious injuries. Parents throughout Canton, OH trust our installations for backyard play areas, daycare centers, schools, and community playgrounds. Your kids get a comfortable, clean place to play, and you get peace of mind knowing they're safer.

Benefits of Playground Safety Turf

Here's why playground artificial grass is the smart choice for play areas:

• Cushioned surface that absorbs impact and reduces injuries from falls
• Clean play area with no mud, dirt, or grass stains on clothes
• Non-toxic materials that are completely safe for children
• Year-round usability that doesn't turn into a mud pit when it rains
• ADA accessible surface that works for kids with mobility challenges
• Low maintenance compared to wood chips or mulch that need constant refilling
• Excellent drainage that dries quickly after rain so kids can play sooner

Safety Standards and Fall Protection

ASTM Safety Compliance

Our playground turf meets ASTM F1292 standards for impact attenuation. This means it's been tested and certified to provide proper cushioning for falls from playground equipment. The padding layer underneath the turf absorbs impact, reducing the risk of serious injuries. We customize the padding thickness based on the height of your play equipment to meet the exact safety requirements.

Critical Fall Height Protection

Different play structures require different levels of protection. A slide might need padding for falls from 6 feet, while a climbing structure might need protection for 10-foot falls. We calculate the critical fall height for your specific equipment and install the right combination of padding and turf to keep kids safe. This is the same level of safety planning used in professional playgrounds and schools.

Non-Toxic and Child-Safe

Every material we use is non-toxic and safe for children. The turf fibers won't irritate skin, the backing contains no harmful chemicals, and the infill is child-safe. Kids can play barefoot, do cartwheels, and spend all day on the turf without any health concerns. It's actually cleaner than natural grass because you eliminate exposure to pesticides and fertilizers. Learn more about our residential turf installations for full yard transformations.

Perfect for Multiple Applications

Backyard Play Areas

Create a dedicated play space for your kids that's safe, clean, and fun. We install safety turf under swing sets, around trampolines, beneath climbing structures, and anywhere else kids play. It looks great, performs beautifully, and gives you peace of mind every time the kids go outside.

Daycare Centers and Preschools

Commercial daycare facilities need surfaces that can handle dozens of kids playing every single day. Our playground turf is durable enough for heavy use while still providing the cushioning and safety that young children need. It stays clean, drains perfectly, and requires minimal maintenance. If you also need pet turf for facility dogs, we can install both systems.

Schools and Community Parks

Public playgrounds need to be safe for all children and accessible to kids with disabilities. Our safety turf provides a level, cushioned surface that wheelchairs and walkers can navigate easily. It meets ADA accessibility requirements while providing the fall protection that schools and municipalities need to reduce liability.
