Playground Grass FAQ
How much does playground surfacing cost?
For many schools, daycares, and city parks, staying within budget on a playground design is the top priority. But oftentimes the most inexpensive solution is not the safest one. We have put together a comparison of how much the most popular playground surfacing materials cost to help put things into perspective.
What is the safest playground surface?
A truly safe playground surface must meet ASTM 1292 fall specifications and ASTM 1951 ADA accessibility guidelines. Some surfaces go beyond these requirements to manufacture antimicrobial protection and antistatic technology into the surface.
Playground Grass synthetic turf:
Not only meets, but exceeds ASTM 1292 fall specifications.- Meets ASTM 1951 ADA accessibility specifications.
- Has AlphaSan® antimicrobial protection built into the blades to help foster a cleaner, safer play surface.
- Features XStatic™ antistatic technology that inhibits the buildup of static electricity on the turf, which can be found on playgrounds.
What are the most common playground surfacing types?
From loose-fill surfacing to unitary options like turf or tiles, here are some of the most commonly used types of playground surfacing:
- Synthetic turf
- Wood chips/mulch
- Poured rubber
- Pea gravel
- Sand
- Engineered wood fiber (EWF)
- Rubber mats/tiles
What is the best ground cover for playgrounds?
Playground Grass synthetic turf is one of the only surfacing solutions out there that stacks up in nearly all aspects, from safety to maintenance to appearance. Not only does it meet and exceed ASTM fall height specifications and is ADA compliant, but it provides an extremely natural, realistic appearance.
Is artificial grass safe for playgrounds?
The materials we use to make Playground Grass synthetic turf are non-toxic to humans and animals. Although synthetic turf has been under scrutiny for using potentially harmful crumb rubber infill, it has been ruled safe to play on. Our products specifically have undergone extensive testing and are determined to be safe. You can find links to tests and other articles on safety here.
In fact, Playground Grass synthetic turf excels when it comes to safety for children! Here are some fast facts about our Playground Grass products:
- They meet or exceed established testing standards with regard to heavy metals in turf, according to CPSC, ASTM and the State of California standards.
- They meet the ASTM 1292 fall specifications as well as the ASTM 1951 ADA accessibility specifications.
- Our network of dealers complete an IPEMA-certified training program to ensure that our products are installed in the proper way.
- AlphaSan® antimicrobial technology, which is used on items such as water coolers, shopping carts, and nursing stations at hospitals, is manufactured into the blades of select Playground Grass products to foster a clean, sanitary environment.
- XStatic™ antistatic technology is incorporated into the blades to help reduce static buildup on the playground. This important development helps playground users who rely on electronic devices such as cochlear implants enjoy a safer play experience.
Is artificial grass good for kids?
The short answer is YES, artificial grass is great for kids. Artificial turf not only meets safety requirements, but exceeds them. A safe, lush, inviting surface like Playground Grass synthetic turf may help give kids the confidence to step outside their comfort zone and be a little more brave knowing that they’re not likely to fall on sharp wood chips or hard concrete.
Plus, Playground Grass Ultra comes in many different colors, and kids really love the colorful designs that our dealers create for playgrounds. These creative designs can be inspiring and energizing for kids, encouraging them to think outside the box and enjoy the bright, vibrant world around them.
Our turf is especially great for kids with disabilities who often love the feel of grass but tend to rip it out or try to eat it. Synthetic turf gives them that same feel of natural grass, but it’s more durable and long lasting.
How long does playground surfacing last?
When you invest in a playground, you want to be sure it provides maximum safety for as long as possible. Playground Grass™ products last longer than most safety surfacing you’ll find, and they come backed by our 15-year warranty.
Why is artificial grass the best surfacing solution for a Playground?
Playground Grass synthetic turf is the best surfacing solution for playgrounds because it’s a well-rounded product that has so many benefits to offer. Not only does it look great, just like natural grass, but it also has the added benefits of XStatic™ antistatic technology, AlphaSan® antimicrobial technology, and not to mention versatility! Our turf is an ideal surfacing solution even for those challenging landscapes that span hills and patches of trees.
Our synthetic turf is ideal for playgrounds because it is:
- Attractive
- Versatile
- Long-Lasting
- Low-Maintenance
- Sand
- Engineered wood fiber (EWF)
- Rubber mats/tiles
What playground surfaces are ADA compliant?
The safety of Playground Grass synthetic turf has been verified through IPEMA certified testing facilities. Our products meet the ASTM 1292 fall specifications, as well as the ASTM 1951 ADA accessibility specifications. We also monitor and meet all the CPSC (consumer product safety commission) standards and recommendations for playground surfaces. Testing certificates are available upon request.

Enhance free play with Funserts™!
When you’re planning a new playground design, start with the surface and build ideas from there. Because everyone interacts with the play surface, it’s the most important element to consider on a playground. You can pack yours full of the best equipment, but if kids can’t comfortably sit, roll, tumble, traverse, and even fall (safely) on the surface, it will limit their ability to play freely.
We’ve designed our synthetic grass and various design elements to all work together to create playgrounds that kids don’t forget—and want to return to again and again. Our colorful Funserts (synthetic grass designs like hopscotch, tic-tac-toe, alphabet paths and more) can be inserted into the playground surface to create interactive educational play elements.
We’re uncovering new possibilities for playgrounds.
Interactive
With designs right on the play surface, kids can interact with Funserts just as they do with play equipment. Get their feet and their minds moving with built-in games and guided pathways.
Creative
Bright, vibrant colors and fun designs encourage kids’ creativity and innovation. With Funserts, it’s no longer just a playground, it’s an adventure waiting to happen!
Unique
Funserts elevate any playground design and allow you to keep up with the latest design trends. Instead of just another “standard” playground, make yours stand out!
