Commercial Playground Turf Install with Fall Protection in North Denver

This was a commercial playground job in North-East Denver, and the goal was simple - make it safe, make it look great, and make sure it holds up. We installed artificial turf over a fall protection system designed specifically for playground use. Not every turf job is the same, and this one required some extra steps to get right.

Here's what most people don't think about when they picture turf on a playground - the surface underneath matters just as much as what's on top. Before any turf went down, we laid out a perforated fall protection pad across the entire play area. That underlayer is what gives you the cushion kids need when they take a tumble off the equipment. It's IPEMA-certified and rated for fall heights up to 8 feet, which is the kind of spec you need when you're outfitting a space that's going to see real, daily use.

The drainage on this system is also worth mentioning. The perforated design of the fall protection pad allows water to pass straight through, so you're not dealing with puddles or soggy ground after rain. That's a big deal for a commercial space where you want the playground accessible as much as possible.

Once the turf went over the top, everything came together cleanly. The finished surface is soft underfoot, consistent edge to edge, and looks sharp against the playground equipment. It's the kind of install that works hard without drawing attention to itself - which is exactly how it should be.

Commercial properties, HOAs, schools, daycares - if you've got a playground that needs a safer, lower-maintenance surface, this is the kind of build that delivers on every front. No mud, no bare patches, no ongoing maintenance headaches. Just a clean, durable surface that keeps kids safer while they play.
