Synthetic Turf Can Help Keep Your Kids Safe & Clean

Synthetic turf continues to gain parental approval and overall popularity due to its ability to keep kids safe and clean. Synthetic grass grants an equal opportunity play experience, whether your children have a multitude of allergies or are extremely accident-prone. Homeowners with families are excited about the ways that synthetic turf is offering a safer, cleaner and less abrasive play experience than ever before.

Here are some ways that synthetic turf is working to keep your kids safe and clean!

Unmatched Durability

Homeowners, schools, and recreational departments continue to install synthetic turf foundations because of its unmatched durability. Synthetic turf is durable in any type of weather and its ability to sustain continuous foot traffic is unparalleled. Synthetic turf is long lasting without appearing weathered or torn. Your kids will not experience uneven terrain or divots due to excessive play – in fact, you won’t even notice turf has been played on.

Reduction of Allergies

Kids who experience allergies or upper respiratory problems can have a hard time enjoying outdoor play. Natural grass is full of allergens and pollen that can trigger a child’s allergies to act up. In comparison, synthetic turf playgrounds produce no pollen. Synthetic turf allows kids to play more safe and clean while still running and jumping and rolling around. The only pollen that kids can come in contact with is that from existing trees near your home or playground.

Level Footing

One of the biggest dangers to children on a natural playground is uneven terrain. Uneven terrain is caused by eroding land or heavy foot traffic. Accident-prone children have a way of ending up with sprained ankles, bruises, and scrapes due to divots and uneven ground. Synthetic turf will not falter, nor will dips and divots be a factor. Synthetic turf has a constant height and will not wear away or erode due to certain weather, giving your kids level footing and safer play.

Easier on Clothing

There’s something about childhood that makes kids love rolling around on the grass and getting their clothes stained. Although fun for the kids, parents are the ones left getting the stains out. Stained clothes will no longer be an issue with synthetic turf. Lawns and playgrounds that have been resurfaced with synthetic turf contain no chlorophyll to stain clothes and the texture of the synthetic fibers will not damage most types of cloth; This will result in clothes that last longer and fewer stains than ever before.

No Mud

Parents are familiar with cleaning muddy clothes after a big rainstorm and there’s nothing messier than kids playing in the mud. Synthetic turf does not have a foundation that consists of soils and dirt, therefore no matter how much rain; it will not result in mud. Kids can still enjoy playing in the yard, but it will be a more clean experience for both them and their parents.

Optimal Draining

When natural grass gets wet it can get ugly. Games are canceled, mud puddles appear, and flooding can ensue. Kids can get messy and dirty and they can also get hurt.

Synthetic turf is equipped with optimal drainage capabilities that help to eliminate puddles and standing water. It also lessens the injuries that can result from a slippery, soaked ground. Synthetic turf dries quickly, allowing kids to get back to their activities without the mess and without injury.

Reducing Bacteria Growth

Synthetic turf contains anti-microbial agents that work to fend off bacteria and viruses that attempt to thrive in it. It’s always working to lessen the exposure that your kids are subjected to while in the yard or on a busy playground.

Whether it’s the front yard or a rec field, parents want their kids to play on a safe foundation. The clean part is more to the advantage of the parent, especially on laundry day. But even so, a clean and safe environment is the goal. The benefits of artificial turf are endless, but providing a safer and cleaner environment for our kids is the most important of all. Synthetic turf provides that environment because it is continuously working to lessen the injury rate and keep your kids and home cleaner after playing outside.
