This grass surface conforms with the regulations relating to landscaping around children’s play equipment and are certified as soft fall. This means that the surface is soft and impact absorbing, reducing the chance of injuries if children fall from play equipment.
Synthetic grass is a perfect solution for schools to combat dusty playgrounds caused by drought conditions or mud baths caused by heavy rains. Which also means children return home cleaner than normal! (Happy parents!)
In terms of maintenance, no mowing or water is required. In fact, you will be surprised how real it looks and how good it feels underfoot.
We know these playground areas get a lot of foot traffic, which often natural grass struggles to cope with. Combine this with our Queensland sunshine and summer storms means these areas often can get quite muddy and unusable for some time.

Safe for kids
The artificial grasses Turf Green supply and install in playground areas are completely safe for kids. They are made from the highest quality materials; we only make products that we would be happy to let our kids play on. The grasses are non-toxic and don’t contain any nasties.
Studies show that falling contributes up to 80% of all playground injuries. We can’t stop kids from being kids but as playground owners, we can improve the safety of their playground with soft fall artificial turf.
Turf Green are replacing traditional commercial playground surfacing like rubber tiles and wood chips all over South East Queensland, and for good reason. Our synthetic turf playground products are safer, cleaner, and softer than these surfaces. At the same time, our grasses are extremely durable, yet non-abrasive, providing longevity and a comfortable commercial playing surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does artificial grass use dangerous chemicals?
Reputable Australian suppliers provide non-toxic, lead-free, and heavy-metal-free turf. It is often used in childcare centres because it doesn’t attract pests and is hypoallergenic, reducing hay fever triggers.
Does it get too hot for kids to play on?
It can get warmer than natural grass. Many modern Australian products feature heat-reduction technology to reflect sunlight. Installing shade sails or lightly spraying the area with water can help keep surfaces cool on extreme days.
Can I install playground turf myself?
While DIY is possible, professional installation is recommended for playgrounds to ensure a stable foundation, seamless joints, and correct safety underlay placement.
What is the cost for playgrounds?
Installation costs in Australia vary significantly based on site preparation, turf type and quality. Costs include both labour for installation and the per-square-metre cost of the turf.
