As parents, we too want the playground grass our children run and play on to be safe enough to allow for falls without the fear of injury. SYNLawn Tampa has answered the call by creating a Playground System that offers a soft, cushioned landing for children; allowing them to be kids while giving their parents peace of mind.

BEST RATED PRODUCTS FOR PLAYGROUND APPLICATIONS FOR TAMPA, FL

When it comes to your kids, nothing is more important than their safety. When it comes to selecting the perfect play set, safety is your number one concern. After selecting your kids’ playset, consider the playground surface underneath. Most injuries on playgrounds occur as the result of a fall on surfaces that are abrasive, hard or just plain unsafe. That’s where the SYNLawn Playground System comes in.

We’ve developed the safest, most consistent playground surface anywhere. Our play system is designed for all types of playground equipment and protects children from falls in accordance with IPEMA standards and CSA approved fall attenuation.

Features Overview

There are many options available for playground surfaces. Mulch, pea gravel, rubber or even another artificial grass product have all been used for playgrounds. None of those can even compare to the SYNLawn Playground System. Traditional options fall short when it comes to consistent safety protection. Surfaces constructed of mulch, gravel or sand tend to be less safe as time goes by. High foot traffic areas such as those circling the merry-go-rounds, under the swings or at the landing of a slide tend to displace the material exposing the hard ground underneath.

Rubber surface playgrounds

We do that too! We often combine artificial playground grass with rubber “Pour-in-Place” to create a safe and clean play area offering complete protection for kids at play. The SYNLawn Playground System is the only playground surface system providing consistent safety standards for high traffic areas, in any weather, at any height, and under all types of play equipment. All this plus the look of beautiful green grass. While safety is our number one concern, there are many advantages to using SYNLawn synthetic grass for playground projects.

Installation Options

Playground equipment comes in many forms and is used in many types of playgrounds. The SYNLawn Playground System is comprehensive, versatile system that allows for ANY type of play equipment. We don’t install one product the same for every piece of equipment.

Areas of high-use are possible candidates for the TrampleZone™ replaceable products. The HIC requirements are necessary for building the right surface to protect against possible head injury to a child. The rest is up to you. We have the largest selection of synthetic grass products to choose from. Simply select the grass you like best or one suited to your region and we’ll take care of building your perfect playground.
