It may surprise you to know that artificial grass can benefit childrens' areas of play in a variety of ways. There are many childrens' play areas across the UK where children are unable to access the outdoors because of poorly maintained surfaces.
There are many childrens' nurseries, schools and gardens across the UK where outside spaces are muddy puddles preventing children from enjoying the outdoors. The installation of artificial grass at a number of childrens' nurseries across the UK by Hi-Tech Turf has improved outside areas so much that children are able to play outside all year round.
There are a number of advantages to artificial grass in such situations. When artificial grass is installed with rubber impact matting critical fall heights can be easily achieved making it ideal under play equipment such as swings, climbing frames and slides. Maintenance is reduced to almost nil following the installation, the only maintenance that need be carried out is brushing from time to time to remove debris such as leaves. As there are many different textures and pile heights of the grass this can also benefit children with disabilities. The shorter pile turfs make it easy for children confined to wheelchairs to move around on, while the installation of the varying types can be beneficial to those children who benefit from working with different textures. The varying colours available which include green, red, blue and yellow mean that interesting shapes and pictures can be created for the children.
Astro turf as it was originally known has developed considerably since the early days. The grass is extremely hard wearing and is now guaranteed for up to eight years and will be green and clean 365 days of the year. Take a look at some of Hi-Tech Turf's artificial grass play area installations to see the difference that can be made. With an artificial grass installation there will be no more muddy footprints following a play session outside.
