Is artificial playground turf safe for children?
Yes. Our playground turf systems include shock‑absorbing padding, non‑toxic materials, and meet CSA and ASTM fall‑safety standards.
Does playground turf get hot in the summer?
Playground turf stays cooler than rubber surfacing and poured‑in‑place materials. Our cooling‑tech infill reduces surface heat by up to 15–20%.
How long does playground turf last?
With proper installation and maintenance, playground turf typically lasts 12–15 years, even in high‑traffic areas.
Is playground turf good for daycares and schools?
Yes. It provides a clean, low‑maintenance, fall‑safe surface ideal for daycares, schools, and public playgrounds.
Can playground turf handle Canadian winters?
Absolutely. Our turf systems are designed for freeze‑thaw cycles, drainage, and year‑round durability in Toronto’s climate.
Does playground turf require maintenance?
Maintenance is minimal: occasional brushing, debris removal, and infill top‑ups keep the surface safe and looking new.
What safety padding is used under playground turf?
We use certified shock‑pad systems designed to meet CSA and ASTM fall‑height requirements, ensuring safe impact absorption for playgrounds.
Is playground turf better than rubber surfacing?
Yes. Turf stays cooler, drains better, looks more natural, and provides softer impact absorption compared to poured‑in‑place rubber.
Does playground turf drain well after rain?
Playground turf drains extremely well thanks to permeable backing and engineered base construction, keeping surfaces usable quickly after rainfall.
Can playground turf be installed on uneven ground?
Yes. We grade and prepare the base to ensure proper drainage, fall‑safety compliance, and a smooth, even play surface.
Is playground turf suitable for high‑traffic areas?
Absolutely. Our turf systems are designed for heavy use in schools, parks, and public playgrounds, maintaining durability and appearance over time.
