Artificial Grass
Artificial Grass Safety Surfacing
Artificial grass is a realistic-looking surfacing option that closely resembles natural turf.
Artificial Grass is safe for use beneath equipment with a Critical Fall Height (CFH) of up to 600mm. For higher-level equipment, a rubber shockpad layer can be added beneath the artificial grass for added protection.
Unlike many other synthetic grass options, this artificial grass does not require sand or rubber infill, helping to reduce both initial installation costs and ongoing maintenance. It’s an excellent choice for areas with heavy footfall where natural grass struggles to grow.

Artificial Grass Safety Surfacing for Playgrounds
Artificial grass safety surfacing is a realistic, durable alternative to natural turf, making it an excellent choice for playgrounds, schools, and outdoor play areas. It provides a clean, attractive finish while offering safety and performance benefits for children’s environments.
Can artificial grass be used under climbing frames?
Yes, artificial grass can be installed beneath climbing frames and playground equipment, provided the correct safety standards are met.
Artificial grass is suitable for use under equipment with a Critical Fall Height (CFH) of up to 600mm. For climbing frames or play equipment with a higher fall height, a rubber shockpad layer can be installed beneath the artificial grass to increase impact absorption and ensure compliance with playground safety regulations.
This makes artificial grass a flexible solution for both low-level and higher-risk play areas.
Why choose artificial grass for playgrounds?
Unlike many synthetic turf systems, this artificial grass does not require sand or rubber infill. This helps to:
-
Reduce initial installation costs
-
Lower ongoing maintenance requirements
-
Prevent infill migration and mess in children’s play areas
It is particularly effective in areas with heavy footfall, where natural grass often becomes muddy, uneven, or worn away.
