Are you a school in South East Queensland who is contemplating installing artificial grass for your outside areas? If so it is important to consider the benefits of a synthetic playing surface for your sports fields.
Creating play areas that are safe for children is vital when it comes to designing and bringing to life your outdoor recreational spaces. That is why we have compiled a list of benefits synthetic grass has for your learning environment.
Lowers The Risk Of Injury
Children haven’t yet developed the same spatial awareness that adults have and therefore tend to be more accident prone. Having a soft surface to absorb the impact when an accident does occur will lower the risk of a serious injury.
Recreational areas such as playing fields including football pitches and hockey pitches can be dangerous. When installed correctly the synthetic lawn is a stable surface for children to enjoy. To avoid broken bones and concussions artificial turf is the optimum choice over natural grass.
Lower Overall Cost
For example if you install hockey fields with synthetic turf in your grounds you will only have to cover the cost of the initial installation. The only maintenance is washing your hockey surface to keep it clean and dust free.
There is less maintenance when it comes to artificial turf and no need to hire a professional gardener to maintain your grounds. This prevents high maintenance costs in the long run and your school playgrounds will look pristine year round.
Natural lawn can create plenty of mess and with more mess means higher costs involved. This can include grass and mud stains on clothing, which will not occur with artificial grass. For a lower cost and cleaner option choosing synthetic turf is the optimum choice for educational institutions.
Perfect Defence Against Allergies
Artificial grass is hypoallergenic meaning that it is a great choice especially for areas that have plenty of children with potential allergies. All of the allergy causing things such as pollen, insects and dust that are found on natural grass no longer cause irritation when synthetic turf is installed.
Artificial grass also reduces that chance of children being stung or bitten by insects as they prefer to inhabit natural turf. Therefore allergies and insects should not interfere with the daily outdoor schooling or Kindergarten activities.
It’s Got The Look
Another fantastic benefit of artificial turf is that it will completely transform your outdoor area. It will make your playing spaces appear luscious and green. It has a beautiful aesthetic and is very easy on the eye.
There is also no need to wait lengthy periods of time for your grass to look great, as it will look perfect straight after installation. Not only does synthetic turf look the part but it is also incredibly durable and can handle heavy foot traffic. In comparison natural grass can begin to look limp and take time to recover after events.
