For playgrounds and daycare spaces, safety surfacing is a top priority. That’s where padding underneath the turf comes in. This specialized shock pad layer is installed between the base surface and the turf itself, providing:
- Added fall protection to meet or exceed ASTM and IPEMA safety standards.
- A softer landing zone for running, jumping, and occasional tumbles.
- Enhanced comfort for toddlers crawling or playing on their hands and knees.
Padded underlayment is especially important in areas with playground equipment, slides, and climbing structures, where falls are more likely to occur. Combined with artificial grass, it creates a surface that’s not only safe but also comfortable year-round.
