FusionTurf: Synthetic Artificial Grass for Playground & Play Areas

Yes, artificial turf can be used for residential lawns. In fact, many homeowners are turning to artificial turf as a low-maintenance, water-saving alternative to natural grass. Artificial turf looks and feels like real grass and comes in a variety of colors and textures to suit different preferences. It is also durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for areas where children and pets play. Additionally, artificial turf does not require mowing, fertilizing, or watering, which can save homeowners time and money on maintenance costs. While the upfront cost of artificial turf may be higher than natural grass, the long-term savings in water and maintenance costs can make it a cost-effective solution for homeowners.

If the artificial grass is in a relatively flat area with minimum traffic, your infill should last you years, if not a lifetime. Here are some factors to consider that might indicate the need to add more infill: 1. The artificial turf is on a slope that will allow rainwater to wash away infill. 2. If the turfed area has a lot of recurring debris (sticks, leaves, etc) that requires regular blowing or sweeping, some infill may get lost over time. 3. Heavy traffic can matte down the turf and carry away infill. If any or all of these 3 apply to your space, don't sweat it. Your local FusionTurf dealer is there to help. Your local dealer will be able to address not only if you need an infill replenishment, but also the correct amount to add.

One of the downfalls of turf is that it can get hot in direct sun, especially lower quality products. FusionTurf addresses this issue with heat reduction technology made into every blade as well as heat reducing infill that can decrease surface temperatures up to 50 degrees.

Yes, artificial turf is generally considered safe for children and pets. In fact, many schools, daycare centers, and playgrounds use artificial turf as a safe and durable surface for children to play on. Artificial turf is made with materials that are non-toxic and safe for human and animal contact. Additionally, many artificial turf products are designed with features that enhance safety, such as a softer surface layer and shock-absorbing padding. However, it is important to note that like any other outdoor surface, artificial turf can become hot in direct sunlight, so it is recommended to purchase and install the proper turf and infill for your application. It is also important to properly maintain and clean artificial turf to prevent the buildup of bacteria and other harmful substances.

Yes, artificial turf can be used in a playground. In fact, it has become an increasingly popular option for many playgrounds due to its increased safety, low maintenance, durability, and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic. Unlike natural grass, it does not create mud or uneven surfaces, which makes it safer for children to play on. Additionally, artificial turf is available in a range of colors, which can create a more visually appealing and stimulating playground environment. It is important to choose a high-quality product that has been designed specifically for this purpose, and to incorporate other safety features that reduce the risk of injury. With proper care and attention, artificial turf can provide a safe and visually appealing surface for children to play on.
