Play Systems
Safety Matters
We want to make sure your children are safe when they finally get to play on your transformed yard. To make sure they are, here are some things we recommend and consider during artificial grass installations where a play structure may be installed. Interested in more information about artificial grass and safety? We've got a whole blog post about it here.
Cleanliness
Different options for keeping your lawn clean​
1. Surface level - Turf Rake or Power Broom
2. Deep Cleaning - Turf Clean Enzymatic cleanser
Critical Fall Height
Factors:
1. Face weight of the turf
2. Infill per square foot
3. Thickness of a shock pad (if needed)
Critical Fall Height or CFH is a system for designed to measure the fall height vs. the amount of cushion in the space bellow to minimize the risk of sustaining a brain injury. This is essential especially when factoring in things like the height of a play set or tree house you might have or buy. When considering CFH theres three things to take into account the face weight of the grass, the amount of infill used per square foot, and the thickness of the shock pad. Our estimators can take that into account during the estimate.
​
To prevent this from happening we will add infill, padding or recommend an artificial grass with a higher face weight. these factors work together to weaken the blow of a fall.

Surface level cleaning: If you're looking for something more intensive than a plastic rake, we do sell power brooms that will lift the blades of turf back up.
Typically we recommend using an enzymatic cleanser for the deeper clean. An easy to use hose attachment makes this practical for regular use. The Enzymes in the cleanser break down build up and pathogens. Then water rinses it away through thoughtfully placed drainage. Interested? Ask us about Turf Clean!
