Synthetic turf for a better and safer play environment.

Not sure about installing traditional grass and mulch or a synthetic play surface? We’re here for you! We’re going to answer your top questions about turf for playgrounds. Discover some of the top benefits of artificial turf playgrounds.

IS ARTIFICIAL GRASS IDEAL FOR Las Vegas PLAYGROUNDS?

Because of its durable design, artificial grass makes the ideal choice for playgrounds and play areas. It will not only cut down on maintenance, but it’ll stay aesthetically pleasing year-in and year-out. No rain, snow, or sunshine will cause the turf to fade, providing you maximum return on investment possible.

More importantly, artificial turf on playgrounds meets the highest standards enforced by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association. Southwest Greens turf products are specially made to give you a safer surface with more shock absorption to reduce trips and falls.

DOES ARTIFICIAL TURF GET HOT?

Historically speaking, synthetic turf has a reputation of getting hot in the summer. However, because of R&D, there are ways to help keep your turf’s surface temperature cool. We call our solution, HydroChill®.

HydroChill® is straightforward optional component added to a turf’s infill providing an average reduction of 30°-50° and is naturally activated when hydrated by rainfall, dew, and irrigation. As the turf surface is heated by solar radiation, stored moisture is released by HydroChill® turf. Evaporation removes heat, leaving a cooler, more comfortable turf for the players.

HOW MUCH DOES A SYNTHETIC PLAYGROUND SURFACE COST?

We know that when you are shopping around, you’re looking for pricing, so you can plan accordingly. Because it’s a challenge to provide an exact price without the details of your current project, we can estimate that installing playground turf costs $15 to $30+ per square foot.

There are a lot of factors that go into determining a price. Here are some of the things that affect pricing:

• Base Materials
• Turf size
• Design
• Padding
• Site access & prep
• Features
• Installation costs

HOW LONG DOES ARTIFICIAL TURF LAST?

Some of our installations are 20 years old or older. Despite their age, they have maintained the vibrant green color and texture of regular grass.

Our UV-resistant artificial turf products last because they’re built to handle heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions, and temperature fluctuations for all-year use. All installations come complete with a one-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer's warranty covering fading.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ARTIFICIAL TURF?

Artificial turf installation is an investment, but one totally worth it. Here are some reasons to install artificial playground turf.

Safety First

A safety pad underlayment is installed under the turf to help ease trips and falls and cut down on injuries. The safety pad is very elastic and provides amazing shock absorption. Playground turf from Southwest Greens of Nevada is International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) Certified, so you can be assured our surfaces are held to the highest standards.

Enhanced Drainage Capabilities

The porous underlayment pad improves drainage vertically and laterally and also addresses water storage. Microban® antimicrobial protection means Southwest Greens Turf ensures a clean and well-drained play area safe for children of all ages to play on.

Durable And Long-Lasting

Our dedication to research and development lets us offer the highest quality and state-of-the-art materials on the market today. Our UV-resistant synthetic turf products last because they’re built to withstand heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions, and temperature fluctuations for all-year use.

Reduced Heat Retention

Southwest Green playground turf keeps your play area cooler in warmer conditions versus rubber playground materials. To take this cooling even further, we suggest our innovative HydroChill® solution — an optional add-in to the turf’s infill providing an average reduction of 30°-50°.

Water Conserving

Nationally, landscape irrigation is estimated to account for approximately a third of all residential water use, which totals almost 9 billion gallons a day. With water scarcity becoming more of a problem, it is crucial to reduce consumption wherever possible. Artificial turf eliminates the need to use so much water to maintain a safe, beautiful play space.

Reduce Pollution

With synthetic grass, you no longer have to apply fertilizers, weed-killing chemicals, and unhealthy products to repel pests. This will result in no water pollution and you’ll save money in the long run. Even better, you remove the downtime necessary to apply these chemicals, and more importantly, reduce the chemicals in a children’s play area.
