Playground Turf Surface Solutions

We help more kids play with the creation of our commercial and residential playground turf surfaces, which focus on the safety of children, environmental impacts of the materials used, and cost containment. Playground turf helps increase kid’s playtime, which is essential to optimum child development. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the chance to play is so essential to optimal child development and wellness, that it has been formally recognized as a right of every child by the United Nations.

A Safer Solution to Playgrounds

Safety is always the number one concern when it comes to selecting the perfect play set for your children. After selecting your kids’ play set, it is important to consider the playground surface underneath. Most injuries on playgrounds are the result of a fall on surfaces that are abrasive, hard, or just plain unsafe. That is why safety always comes first with our SoftLawn® Playground turf surface, which exceeds national safety standards and is ASTM certified. Our playground turf is fully ADA/ABA compliant and consistent with all U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission requirements.

Commercial Playground Turf

We continually enhance our Commercial Playground configuration, complete with fall zones and exceptional HIC ratings with all components being biodegradable and/or recyclable and lead-free. Like most antimicrobial products, our playground surfaces do not support stain or odor causing bacteria, mold, or mildew.  Plus facility owners and parents alike never again have to worry about exposure or contact with harsh chemicals found in the pesticides and fertilizers used to treat regular grass. We also offer an infill product that combines the shock absorption performance of crumb rubber and the ballast performance of raw sand, while minimizing health and environmental concerns and reducing surface temperatures by 20° – 30° F.

Certified Playground Turf Installers

With Certified Playground Installers and a Playground Safety inspector on our team, you can be assured every detail of your synthetic playground will be safe and ready for action. In addition, childhood motor and sensory development is stimulated by the attractive appearance of our synthetic turf playgrounds. Unlike mulch or shredded rubber, the durable grassy surface is green, inviting and lush. STI of Chicago’s colorful line of “Nature’s Friends,” such as a bright yellow bee and a vibrant multicolored butterfly which can be inset in any play area, add interest, fun and beauty. Pre-designed, synthetic Hopscotch games are now being inset at larger facilities enhancing structured game use, and we also offer customized logos.
