Playground & Play Area Turf in Tucson, AZ

Pad thickness is matched to the highest fall point on the equipment, generally thicker under taller slides and swing sets than under a sandbox-height structure.

It gets warm in direct sun like any turf, but play-grade infill and lighter color options cut surface temperature compared to standard lawn turf.

The old surface, whether mulch, rubber mulch, or dead grass, needs to come out first so the shock pad sits on a stable, level base.

With UV-stabilized fibers and proper base prep, a residential play turf surface typically holds up for many years of daily kid traffic before fibers show wear.

Infill settles over time with heavy use, so a top-off every few years keeps the cushioning and blade stand-up working right.

We scope play areas for both backyards and small commercial facilities, adjusting base and infill to expected traffic volume.
