Artificial Grass Playgrounds – Denver

Synthetic Grass Playgrounds outperform all others…

The major expense of any play area is the equipment.  But what we at Grass!365 Denver have noticed is how much time children spend around the outside of the equipment.  While they do travers and swing and bounce around, don’t forget about where they will spend most time on the playground and that is the surface.  And the very best surface hands down is Artificial Turf designed for Playgrounds that are certified for safety and installed by certified installers.

Following the guidelines from the equipment manufacturer about how large of a safety area to install along with what the fall height rating is needed for the surface, is just the beginning.  How the children use the space and what other activities from football games or kickball games or plenty of room for tag and other activities should be a consideration.  And after just a few months, many children do not even go on the equipment anymore.

Take all this into account with planning your artificial turf playground installation.  The size and use of the space needed for a great experience is normally a little larger than first anticipated.

Minimal maintenance for Artificial Grass Playgrounds

Let’s face it, here in Denver, not only do we live an outdoor active lifestyle, we also need our children outside and playing.  Stopping for maintenance or closing playgrounds for repairs is not ideal.  Other than removing any debris that may have fallen on the area, just an occasional brushing from your Denver Grass!365 expert turf installers is all that is needed.  Many schools and playground invest in a power broom so they can brush the surface from time to time with in house personnel.  Whatever  you choose, this process only takes an hour or so and normally does not need to be done more than once a quarter.   We are happy to help but you should not see us very often once your artificial grass playground is installed.

Year-Round Use

Grass!365 has been installing turf since the late 1990’s and has been serving the Denver area since 2008.  We have other locations in colder climates that get more snow and longer winter seasons.  With this said, we know snow melts faster on turf than many other surfaces.  Post snow storms, we know the sun will come out in just a few days in Denver and it will melt the snow from your playground quickly.  If not, you can always use a snow blower to remove any accumulation so children can get outside and play.  Year-round use of your playground surface is a key to fully enjoying the investment you have made.

Durable

Playgrounds from synthetic grass are made for high traffic.  They look great years down the road when other products like mulch and poured in place rubber shed and get dispersed.   One durable aspect that gets over looked is the fact the safety layer of the synthetic grass playground system is the padding that resides below the turf.  This padding is protected from the UV Rays of the Sun, from weather and covered with turf and infill.  This safety layer is so durable most padding manufactures indicate you can use their products for 2 generations of  turf.  Artificial Turf Playgrounds look great for years to come, but also perform from a safety perspective for a long long time.
