All-year-round use
When it rains (which is more often than not in the UK!) playing fields and outdoor areas often become ‘no-go’ zones for children due to slippery play equipment and muddy, waterlogged fields. The solution? Artificial grass. Artificial grass for children’s play areas allows the space to be used safely all year round, with no mud, no water and no-slip hazard.
Less Maintenance
As to artificial grass for play areas, the most obvious benefit to having the product in a school or playground is that it will save you on maintenance costs, providing an advantage over real turf. Once the artificial grass has been installed in the play area, there is little maintenance and it doesn’t require any special equipment to keep it looking fresh.
Some of the things that you will save on from installing artificial grass over real grass are:
- Cost of hiring a contractor to mow the grass
- Cost of materials to power and maintain the required equipment such as a lawnmower or edge trimmer
- Cost of lawn care products/treatments such as weedkiller, fertiliser and pesticides
- Cost of paying staff to maintain the grounds
Better for Allergies
The leading cause of allergies in the UK is grass. Mowing the lawn releases pollen into the air which is a trigger for hayfever. By using artificial grass for children’s play areas, there will be less chance of pollen in the air for children to breathe in, reducing the effects of hayfever.
