Natural grass can be dangerous when wet, but that's not true of artificial turf. Instead, it makes the surface stickier, making you less likely to slip and fall. So even after it rains, the ground is still a safe place for children to play.
Artificial turf, unlike natural grass, drains water quickly because it is made of holes. But because it doesn't hold water, it can't be used as a place for germs and bacteria to grow. Because of this, playgrounds with fake grass are using it more often.
Find out why Luxury Turf artificial turf, rather than natural grass, is the better option for Queen Creek playgrounds.
All-Natural Grass Playgrounds Pose a Health Risk to Children
If you don't have fake grass to protect you, other dangers are hiding beneath the surface of natural grass.
Here are some more ways it makes playgrounds less safe.
- If a child is allergic to grass, they might get sick in a playground with grass. Also, playgrounds with grass floors often have puddles full of bacteria because water drains slowly into the soil.
- Children's shoes can make the grass uneven, which makes it more likely that someone will trip and fall.
- Natural grass can grow up to 10 inches tall, which makes it a great place to hide rocks and sharp things like metal or broken glass.
Reasons Why Playgrounds With Artificial Grass, or Luxury Turf, Are Risk-Free
The American Society has checked the safety of high-quality artificial turf for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
This certification shows that the grass meets industry standards for vertical, shock absorption, and reduced head impact force. Putting these safety measures in place is necessary if you want to stay safe.
The base of artificial grass is padded to make it more comfortable. The padding on its surface makes it less likely that kids will break bones or get concussions if they fall or slip on it.
This makes it perfect for playground equipment like monkey bars and jungle gyms, which give kids a chance to practice climbing.
Pests like insects, rodents, snakes, and birds hang out in playgrounds with natural grass.
Children could get hurt if they played in or near these. Also, insects and other pests don't like artificial turf because it doesn't offer them food or a safe place to live.
No Toxic Weedkillers or Allergens With Fake Grass
Playground grass can be planted without concern for invasive pests, unwanted weeds, or the area's aesthetic appeal.
It does best in areas with little to no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides. As a result, contrary to widespread belief, children are not at risk of exposure to these toxic chemicals.
People with grass allergies can benefit from switching to artificial turf because it does not attract allergens like natural grass. Also, parents need not worry about their children developing allergies if they let them play on it. The adults around you are, of course, in the same situation.
