Playground & Safety Turf
Impact-absorbing safety turf for playgrounds, schools, and play areas throughout Lakeland, FL.
Safe Play Surfaces for Kids
When kids play, falls happen. It's just part of being a kid. But the surface they land on makes all the difference between a quick bounce back and a trip to urgent care. At SharpPoint Lakeland Artificial Grass, we install playground safety turf designed specifically to cushion falls and prevent injuries.
Whether you're a parent creating a backyard play space, a school administrator upgrading playground surfaces, or a daycare owner looking for safer outdoor areas, our playground safety turf provides the protection kids need while eliminating the mud, maintenance, and mess of traditional playground materials.
Why Safety Turf Beats Other Options
Traditional playground surfaces have serious drawbacks. Wood chips scatter everywhere, need constant refilling, and can hide hazards. Rubber mulch retains heat and breaks down over time. Natural grass becomes a mud pit when it rains and wears bare under high traffic.
Playground safety turf solves all these problems:
- Impact-absorbing padding underneath that meets safety standards
- Consistent cushioning that won't shift or compact over time
- Clean surface that stays mud-free even after heavy rain
- Non-toxic materials safe for kids who put everything in their mouths
- ADA-accessible surface for wheelchairs and mobility devices
- Excellent drainage that dries quickly after storms
The turf stays cooler than rubber surfaces in Florida's summer heat, and unlike loose-fill materials, it won't track into your house or school building.
Custom Playground Installations
Every play area has different needs. We design safety turf systems based on the specific equipment and activities at your location. Higher structures need more cushioning. Active play zones require extra durability. We handle all of it.

- Backyard swing sets and play structures
- School playgrounds and recreational areas
- Daycare outdoor play spaces

For larger facilities, we often combine playground safety turf with sports turf areas to create multi-functional outdoor spaces. We can also integrate safety turf with residential landscaping for a seamless backyard design.
Meeting Safety Standards
Our playground installations meet ASTM safety standards for fall attenuation. We install padding systems rated for the specific fall heights at your playground, ensuring proper protection for the equipment you have. You get documentation showing compliance, which is important for schools and commercial facilities.
Perfect for Lakeland's Climate
Florida weather is tough on playground surfaces. Afternoon thunderstorms turn traditional playgrounds into unusable mud pits. Intense sun degrades materials quickly. High humidity promotes mold growth in organic materials like wood chips.
Safety turf handles all of it. The drainage system we install allows water to drain through immediately, so kids can play shortly after rain stops. The turf resists UV damage and stays vibrant despite constant sun exposure. Antimicrobial properties prevent mold and bacterial growth.
