Is Artificial Turf Safe for Children’s Play Areas? You Bet It Is!
Today’s artificial turf is so close to natural grass that many people cannot tell the difference – even when touching it. As a result, it has significantly increased in popularity in the past few years but this has led some parents to wonder: Is artificial turf safe for children? Not only is it safe but it could be safer than the natural grass they’re playing on now.

Your Child Will Not be Exposed to Pesticides, Fertilizers, and Other Toxic Substances
The materials that make up fake grass are non-toxic and safe for kids. Can you say the same about whatever is covering your current grass? If you use pesticides, fertilizers, or anything else to keep your lawn free from pests, bugs, and weeds, then your grass may not be as safe for your kids as you think it is.
Artificial Grass is an Allergen-Friendly Option
If your child – or anyone in your family – suffer from allergies then artificial grass is a must. It is made from non-toxic materials that do not contain pollen or other allergy-causing substances. Artificial grass is not friendly to bugs either, so your child will be less likely to be bitten by a tic, stung by a bee, or otherwise injured by pests that often live in grass.
There is Less of a Chance of Tripping and Falling
Many people wonder: Isn’t the ground under the artificial grass hard? The answer is no. We include padding that makes it soft and comfortable. In fact, your child may be in less danger because water drains so well on artificial grass. As a result, there are no holes and dips that can be caused by puddles when it rains and kids don’t have to worry about slippery, wet grass.
