Playground Grass

A year-round “green” area is a great asset to any playground. Artificial grass helps to brighten up the environment and is key for encouraging outdoor play.

Our artificial grass surface can provide all the benefits of grass but with lower maintenance needs and reduced mess, this is especially important for high-use areas that are prone to water-logging. Artificial grass can also be a more cost-effective solution for waterlogged ground as it eliminates the need for constant planting of new grass seeds, saving you money in the long run.

Our playground grass looks great in urban and rural surroundings and can revitalise worn and uninviting playgrounds.

What are the features of artificial playground grass?

With its realistic appearance, our playground grass surfacing offers multiple features and benefits which help it stand out compared to regular grass turf:

Quality installation by our own highly experienced operatives
Porous and free draining – no pooling or splashing
Minimal maintenance to provide long term cost savings
An excellent all year round all weather surface
No mess – no wasted time clearing mud and dirt brought inside during wet weather
Can form a playground safety surface

These benefits make artificial grass a fantastic alternative to consider when designing, upgrading or maintaining your playground environment.

How Much Does

Artificial Grass Cost?

There are many variables which will affect the price of artificial grass:

Size of area
Critical fall height (this determines the depth of the shock pad below the grass)
Access to the area
Pattern work and graphics

As an example, if we say that approximately 100m2 of artificial grass were to be laid, the cost would be between £40 – £60 /m2 + VAT.

These figures exclude any necessary ground preparation works, size, access and ground conditions so it is always best to contact us for a free site visit so that we may offer a more accurate figure.

Artificial Grass Installation

Artificial grass is the ideal all weather outdoor recreation safety surface. It looks incredibly realistic and is soft to the touch, ideal for children of all ages.

Its application can be seen across many commercial locations. Whilst Redlynch has specialised in the outdoor leisure industry over the last 25 years, other industries we have worked on include retail, housing development and local authorities. Whilst these projects are often another outdoor leisure space, different commercial locations will have their own specific needs and requirements from our work.

Often the best place for artificial grass is for the awkward grass areas which often turn to dust or mud, especially around trees. A free-draining sub-base, however, is essential to be certain that the surface will not flood or suffer from settlement.

Whilst more costly in the first instance, the sub base will ensure the artificial grass remains usable all year round. It will also extend the lift of the surface.

Technical Overview

Artificial Grass Maintenance

In terms of required maintenance for artificial grass, there are a few actions you can take before needing to call out a specialist team such as Redlynch Leisure. The first and arguably most important would be to check the grass for debris that may be present and hidden amongst the grass. Identifying and removing debris mitigates potential risks such as injury.

The next thing you can do is simply give the artificial grass a rinse with a hose, this may also help remove small pieces of debris you may have previously missed. Avoid the use of power washes if you have opted to have infill within your artificial grass. Alongside the rinse, you may also use a weak detergent and hard brush to help remove anything you may have missed. This can also help you remove airborne plant seeds that may have landed on your artificial lawn.

Avoid high temperatures. Even though it is artificial and tougher than real grass, it is still susceptible to intense heat. Therefore to maximise the lifespan and quality of your artificial grass, it is best to avoid reflective materials and sources of heat such as BBQ’s.

We appreciate the amount of artificial grass you have may bit too much to maintain by your business, which is why you can speak to the friendly team at Redlynch Leisure to schedule our safety surfacing maintenance service.

How long does artificial grass last

The lifespan of artificial gras can vary one a few factors. Typically it can last for upwards of 12+ years. More often than not however, those 12 years will be for some artificial grass that has been installed into a low traffic area such as a back garden. You can expect the life span to drop when in regular use such as in a park, school playground or for sports.

BPC found Redlynch to be extremely approachable, professional and flexible throughout the whole process. And in comparison to other vendors, BPC's view was that they were able to offer considerable "playability" from their range at good value.

BPC would not hesitate to recommend Redlynch.
