Welcome to the Palm Beach County Safety Surfacing Team

Synthetic turf is often used on baseball, soccer, and football fields all around the United States, but it is also a trendy choice for dog parks and playgrounds in your state. Artificial turf, also known as playground turf, is made up of sand infill materials and artificial grass blades to provide the illusion of natural grass while providing much more cushioning. Additionally, synthetic turf may also be used as a playground pad. Our turf systems are wear and tear-resistant, with fall height ratings of up to 8 feet.

Synthetic grass blades are fitted to a surface and coated with our premium material, which holds the blades straight and gives them a more realistic appearance. The system is spread over a rubber lining system that offers fall absorption as children fall off play area equipment onto the ground, as it feels like carpeting. Based on the height of the play area floor equipment from which children will slip, we apply extra layers of foam padding. Water easily flows through the grass, which is usually laid on a 4” compacted material foundation, allowing your children to return to the playground right after heavy rainfalls. The sub-base is usually made of porous crushed stone. A thorough examination is required to decide if added drainage is required.

Cleaning artificial turf is simple, requiring only clearing the large particles from the soil. Additional rubber matting may be applied to keep the pile from being removed if the surface is matting due to wear and tear usage around high foot traffic areas, such as under swings, ramps, and slide exits. Otherwise, grass matting occurs over time and can be quickly corrected by sweeping the blades back up and applying more silica-free powder.

Rubber mulch is rapidly gaining traction as a sustainable option for industrial and residential playgrounds, as well as a landscaping substitute. When opposed to conventional playground materials, rubber mulch has a number of advantages. It lasts longer than wood chips or dirt in a playground. It is a perfect playground surface because the vivid, colorful colors do not disappear and can provide fall safety up to 12 feet.

Rubber mulch is also an excellent landscaping material. It effectively suppresses weed growth while allowing water and fertilizer to penetrate the soil. It also protects your garden from common garden pests without rotting, dying, or fading. Unlike standard mulch, which floats or blows away in flooding and high winds, rubber mulch does last longer. Rubber mulch is a great way to add color to your trees, shrubs, and flowers while still complimenting your natural landscaping.

Eco-friendly Surfacing Solution Is Perfect For Many Applications.

Aside from landscaping and playgrounds, bonded rubber mulch has a wide range of applications. Rubber mulch is often commonly used in equestrian arenas to reduce dust and have a stable surface. The springy rubber mulch relieves joint and bone pressure on the horses while also increasing the riders’ fall safety. Rubber mulch is also used as a protected and reliable backstop at indoor and outdoor shooting ranges. The rubber mulch absorbs the bullet’s shock and dampens the noise, greatly decreasing the number of ricochets.

Rubber mulch is also beneficial to training centers. Rubber mulch is being used by the military, police academy, ropes courses, and climbing walls. Fewer accidents are caused by the high impact attenuation and shock absorbency ratings. Rubber mulch, unlike conventional wood chips, does not deteriorate, ensuring long-lasting, slip-resistant footing.
