Synthetic turf has been the real talk of the town when it comes to playgrounds, residential and commercial areas, and sports facilities. It is low maintenance, cost-effective, and has high durability and versatility. However, questions have been raised about the safety of the fake grass. Is it more pro-injury than regular grass? Let’s put the turf to the test! 

Synthetic turf tends to be rubber granules or sand, which helps absorb impact and reduce the force of falls. This results in the risk of injuries such as concussions, sprains, and fractures declining. Artificial turf helps provide a stable and consistent playing surface for children, pets, and athletes. 

Natural grass can be rigid and uneven. Synthetic grass was designed to be uniform, flexible, and overall forgiving on the body when one takes a tumble. Landscaping turf also is designed to meet regular strict safety standard tests. It has to meet specific performance criteria, including traction, shock absorption, and ball bounce. If the artificial turf meets the set standards, the turf becomes a consistent playing surface that minimizes the risk of injuries.

Lastly, a synthetic lawn is free from harmful warehouse chemicals. No more direct exposure for your children and pets to various fertilizers and pesticides with a playground turf around. Safe landscaping is created for everyone to roam around without worrying about the risk of exposure.

Choosing synthetic turf is a safe and effective option for many different living environments. From booming stadiums to your quiet home backyard, artificial turf can create an enjoyable and safe playing space for everyone! Even though turf may tick all the boxes, make sure to have proper installation and regulation!
