Due to its porous construction, artificial grass quickly drains the water, unlike natural grass. However, as it does not retain stagnant water, it cannot serve as a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. As a result, artificial turf playgrounds are gaining in popularity.

When wet, natural grass can be dangerous, but artificial grass retains none of that quality. Instead, it increases traction, making it less likely that you will slip and fall. In addition, the ground is still secure for children to play on, even after the rain.

Although playgrounds are crucial to children’s development, they don’t always have secure flooring. In addition, natural grass doesn’t come without its own set of dangers, contrary to popular belief.

Find out why Luxury Turf artificial grass, rather than natural grass, is the better option for Scottsdale playgrounds.

 

Natural Grass Isn’t Safe for Playgrounds

Without the safety net that fake grass offers, other threats are lurking below the surface of natural grass.

Here are some other ways in which it threatens playground safety.

Children who are allergic to grass may experience symptoms in playgrounds with grass. In addition, puddles full of bacteria are common in playgrounds with grass flooring because water drains slowly into the soil.

Children’s shoes can cause the grass to become uneven, which increases the risk of a person tripping and falling.

Tall, natural grass can grow to a height of up to 10 inches, making it ideal for hiding rocks and sharp objects such as metal or broken glass.

 

Why Luxury Turf Fake Grass Playgrounds Are Safe

The American Society for Testing and Materials has verified the safety of high-quality artificial grass (ASTM).

This certification proves that the grass satisfies vertical, shock absorption, and attenuation of head impact standards commonly used in the industry. Having these safeguards in place is crucial for staying safe.

The base of artificial grass is cushioned for extra comfort. The padding on its surface reduces the severity of injuries like broken bones and concussions that can occur when children fall or slip on it.

This makes it perfect for use on playground structures like monkey bars and jungle gyms, which allow children to practice their climbing skills.

Playgrounds with natural grass attract unwanted pests, such as insects, rodents, snakes, and birds.

Playing in or near these poses a risk to children. In addition, insects and other pests are not attracted to artificial grass because it does not serve as a food source or a haven.

 

No Toxic Weedkillers or Allergens

Grass can be planted in a playground without worrying about pests, weeds, or the area’s aesthetic value.

It thrives in environments where artificial fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides are not used. Despite widespread belief, children are not at risk of exposure to these toxic chemicals.

Artificial grass does not collect allergens like natural grass, so it is a good option for people with grass allergies. In addition, kids who play on it won’t have to worry about developing allergies. But, of course, all of the nearby adults are in the same boat.
