Playground & Recreation Artificial Turf

Traditional playground surfaces like wood chips, gravel, and rubber mulch are messy, high-maintenance, and lose their impact-absorption over time. Wasatch Turf Pros specializes in high-performance playground turf systems engineered for maximum safety and durability. Combining soft, non-abrasive fibers with professional-grade shock pads, we create "Fall-Safe" environments that meet strict ASTM F1292 standards. Whether it’s a backyard swing set in Lehi or a community play area in Eagle Mountain, we provide the cleanest, safest surface for Utah’s children.

ASTM-Certified Fall Protection. ADA Accessible. 100% Clean.

When it comes to play areas, "good enough" isn't an option. At Wasatch Turf Pros, we build playground systems that prioritize child safety without sacrificing the beauty of your landscape. Our multi-layer recreation systems are designed to handle heavy foot traffic while providing a cushioned landing for every tumble.

🛡️ The "Safety-First" Advantage: Why Turf Wins

  • ASTM F1292 Fall Protection: We don't guess on safety. When paired with our specialized shock-absorbing foam pads, our turf meets the critical fall-attenuation standards required for public parks. A 2-inch pad provides certified protection for falls up to 10 feet.

  • Soft-Touch Polyethylene Fibers: Unlike abrasive natural grass or splinter-prone wood chips, our fibers are engineered to be gentle on skin. This significantly reduces "turf burn," skinned knees, and scrapes during active play.

  • Pure & Chemical-Free: Eliminate exposure to the fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides required by natural lawns. Our turf features a permanent antimicrobial treatment to prevent bacteria and mold growth where children crawl and play.

  • All-Weather Accessibility: Our systems are ADA compliant, providing a firm, stable surface for wheelchairs and walkers. Plus, with a 30"/hr drainage rate, the playground is ready for use minutes after a Utah rainstorm—no mud pits, no puddles.

🛠️ The Wasatch Play-Safe Process

The "Safety" in a playground happens beneath the green. We follow a rigorous engineering protocol for every recreation project.

  1. Fall Height Analysis: We measure the highest point of your play equipment (slides, swings, trampolines) to determine the exact shock-pad thickness required for that zone.

  2. Structural Site Prep: We excavate existing bark, gravel, or sod to a depth of 4–6 inches to ensure a perfectly level and compacted foundation.

  3. Shock-Absorbing Pad Installation: We install closed-cell foam pads beneath the turf. This layer is the "engine" of your safety system, providing consistent impact absorption that doesn't "migrate" like mulch or gravel.

  4. Nylon-Reinforced Seaming: Playground turf takes more abuse than a standard lawn. We use industrial-grade adhesives and reinforced seaming to ensure the surface stays intact during high-energy play.

  5. Kiln-Dried Sand Infill: We use non-toxic, rounded kiln-dried sand to weigh down the turf and keep fibers upright. It’s clean, safe, and doesn't create the "dust" associated with standard silica.

  6. Safety Certification Walkthrough: We verify pad coverage under every "impact zone" with you before signing off on the project.
