Our Process

Installing playground turf in Athens, Georgia involves careful planning to meet critical fall height requirements and ensure long-term durability and safety. We don't cut corners when it comes to protecting children.

  1. Safety Assessment & Design: We evaluate existing equipment, fall heights, and desired play areas.
  2. Sub-Base Preparation: Creating a stable, free-draining base layer.
  3. Shock Pad Installation: Laying specialized shock-absorbent padding calibrated to specific fall heights.
  4. Turf Laying & Securing: Carefully unrolling, cutting, and seaming the durable playground turf.
  5. Infill Application: Using non-toxic, child-safe infill for stability and added cushioning.
  6. Perimeter Edging: Installing secure, child-safe edging to contain the turf.
  7. Final Safety Check: Thorough inspection to ensure all safety standards are met.


Prioritizing Child Safety with SoftFall Turf

Our playground turf systems are engineered with multiple layers of protection. The most crucial component is the shock-absorbing underpad, which provides critical fall attenuation, significantly reducing the risk of injury from falls. This advanced system is designed to meet or exceed ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) safety standards for various fall heights, giving you complete confidence in your play surface.


What Are the Key Safety Features?

Our playground turf boasts several vital safety features. Beyond the fall-rated shock padding, the turf itself is non-abrasive, lead-free, and non-toxic. It provides a consistent, even surface, eliminating trip hazards common with wood chips or gravel. Plus, its excellent drainage prevents muddy, slippery areas after rain, further reducing accident risks for kids playing near the University of Georgia campus.


Is Playground Turf Suitable for Schools and Daycares?

Absolutely. Playground artificial turf is an ideal choice for schools, daycares, community centers, and public parks. It offers a clean, low-maintenance, and consistently safe play surface that looks inviting year-round. It also eliminates issues like tracked-in mulch, provides ADA compliance, and can contribute to a healthier environment by reducing airborne allergens and pests.


Beyond Playgrounds: Sport Courts & Activity Zones

The versatility of our impact-absorbing turf extends beyond traditional playgrounds. We can also install safe, high-performance surfaces for multi-sport courts, outdoor fitness areas, or youth activity zones. Imagine a durable, cushioned surface for soccer, basketball, or even just general running and playing, offering a superior alternative to hard asphalt or concrete in areas like Normaltown or Five Points.


Ensuring Long-Term Durability & Cleanliness

Playground turf is built to withstand heavy use and the elements. It resists fading, tearing, and compaction, maintaining its safety and aesthetic appeal for many years. Cleaning is simple: hose down to remove debris, and for tougher spots, a mild detergent and water. This ensures a hygienic play environment that’s always ready for the next adventure.
