Playground & School Turf in Houston, TX

IPEMA-certified fall attenuation turf for schools, daycares, and home playgrounds.

Playground turf is engineered differently from lawn or pet turf. The defining spec is fall attenuation — how much shock the surface absorbs in a critical fall. We install systems certified to ASTM F1292 with shock pads sized to the rated fall height of your playground equipment, typically 4 to 12 feet.

Our standard playground build uses a compacted base, a closed-cell foam shock pad rated for the fall height, and IPEMA-certified turf bonded to the pad. The surface is ADA-accessible (wheelchair friendly), drains through the backing, and stays cool enough to use through Houston summers when paired with the right infill or a heat-reflective fiber.

We work with schools, daycares, churches, municipal parks, and homeowners on residential play sets. All installs come with documentation of the certified fall height rating for your insurance carrier or licensing body.

Playground & School Turf — Common Questions

Answers to the questions Houston homeowners and property managers ask us most.

What fall heights can your playground turf handle?
We spec shock pads for fall heights from 4 ft up to 12 ft per ASTM F1292. The pad thickness is selected based on your tallest piece of play equipment.
Does playground turf get too hot in Houston summers?
Surface temperature is mostly driven by direct sun exposure. We offer heat-reflective fibers and lighter infill colors that keep surface temps 15–25°F cooler than standard black-infill turf. Partial shade or sail shades help further.
