Each one traces to a decision made before the rolls arrived. The crews who avoid them run the job as a chain of gates, each closing on something you can check.<\/p>\n<p>We sit on the factory side of this work, so the specs that come back to us tell a pattern. Crews who install artificial grass for playgrounds without rework treat every stage as an acceptance gate \u2014 something is measured, checked and signed before the next stage covers it up.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"survey\">Survey the Site: Fall Heights, Drainage and Access First<\/h2>\n<p>Walk the site with a tape and a clipboard before anyone prices a roll. Record the tallest accessible platform, the slide exit height and the highest point a child can reach from a handhold \u2014 those numbers drive every later stage. Mark the use zone with string line and pegs while the ground is still bare, because the layout is hardest to argue with once equipment footings exist. Contractors who install artificial grass for playgrounds without this sheet end up specifying the pad from memory.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-installation-prep-body-1.webp\" data-img-slot=\"799\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"person measuring the ground with a tape before installation\" class=\"wp-image-799\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-installation-prep-body-1.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-installation-prep-body-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-installation-prep-body-1-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-installation-prep-body-1-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>A tape survey on the stripped ground fixes fall heights and drainage before any material arrives.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Drainage belongs in the same survey. Water travels through the perforated backing, into the shock pad and down through the compacted aggregate base. Find the low point that receives it before the base goes in. Around a stand-alone climber, the CPSC handbook puts the use zone at a minimum of 6 feet in every direction from the equipment perimeter. Check access for base material deliveries and sweep for buried irrigation lines while you are at it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout-warning\">\n<p>Per the CPSC handbook, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpsc.gov\/s3fs-public\/325_PublicPlaygroundSafetyHandbook2025_7-30-25_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fall onto a shock-absorbing surface is less likely to cause a severe head injury than a fall onto a hard surface<\/a>. The same handbook adds that some moderate injuries may occur regardless of the surfacing material. That conditional is the anchor for every safety claim in this guide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Record fall heights against the equipment list before anything is bought, because the pad reads those numbers and the handover pack files them. CPSC guidance also treats any material impact-tested to ASTM F1292 as protective surfacing, so the survey sheet becomes the paper trail that ties the site to the standard.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"base\">Build the Base and Get the Levels Right<\/h2>\n<p>The base does two jobs at once: it carries compaction loads underfoot and it sets the drainage gradient the survey called for. Get the levels wrong and every stage that follows inherits the error \u2014 ripples, ponding, seams that open at the joints. When you install artificial grass for playgrounds, this is the one stage nobody admires at handover, which is exactly why it gets checked now.<\/p>\n<h3>Excavate and Shape the Sub-Grade<\/h3>\n<p>Strip sod, mulch and any old surfacing first. Excavation depth then follows the sub-grade: one professional flow sheet specifies 75-100mm, a US installer checklist runs 4-6 inches, and a Canadian guide lands at 3-5 inches. The ranges differ by ground and by who is writing the guide; what matters is choosing depth against your own soil, not copying a number. Shape a 1-2% grade away from buildings and equipment as you dig. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/prepare-ground-for-artificial-grass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the full ground-preparation walkthrough, including soil stripping and membrane choice<\/a>, our separate guide carries the detail this section compresses.<\/p>\n<h3>Compact in Lifts, Then Water-Test<\/h3>\n<p>Lay the sub-base in roughly 50mm lifts and compact each one to 90-95% before the next goes down; one vendor guide&#8217;s numbers, but the logic is universal. Under-compaction shows up later as settlement, and settlement reads as ripples underfoot and ponding after rain. Then water-test the finished grade with a hose before any roll arrives \u2014 water is the honest inspector. Watch it run to the low points and off the pad footprint.

So the pad is specified from the survey sheet, not from habit. Match it to the critical fall height of the highest item you recorded. One vendor guide lists pads of 20-50mm chosen by fall height, another lists 25-70mm, and a third matches thickness straight to the highest accessible play surface. The ranges disagree between sources; the discipline of specifying from the site&#8217;s tallest item does not.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-for-playground-surface.jpg\" data-img-slot=\"85\" width=\"1120\" height=\"680\" alt=\"playground swings standing on a padded artificial turf surface\" class=\"wp-image-85\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-for-playground-surface.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-for-playground-surface-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-for-playground-surface-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-for-playground-surface-768x466.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/><figcaption>Under swings it is the pad layer, not the grass pile, that carries the fall-height rating.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Remember that pile height changes feel, not impact attenuation \u2014 one installer puts two inches of turf on compacted stone at roughly the fall protection of a doormat. The pad under the turf is what the fall-height math reads. The standards treat the installed system the same way. <a href=\"https:\/\/store.astm.org\/f1292-18.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ASTM F1292&#8217;s installed surface performance test<\/a> verifies the system after installation, quantified through g-max and HIC scores.<\/p>\n<p>Before the pad order is placed, four questions close the selection:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the highest platform recorded on the survey sheet?<\/li>\n<li>Does the test file cover your site&#8217;s conditions, not just a lab sample?<\/li>\n<li>Is the pad continuous across the whole fall zone, with joints butted tight \u2014 no gaps, no height steps?<\/li>\n<li>Does coverage extend over the entire use zone, not just under the equipment?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jointing matters as much as thickness: small height differences between pad panels can shift tested performance, so butt them tight and tape them.

Two craft points decide most of it: direction and seam placement. Both are planned on paper before the first roll drops.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-roll-closeup.jpg\" data-img-slot=\"102\" width=\"1120\" height=\"680\" alt=\"roll of artificial grass showing the pile side and the black backing\" class=\"wp-image-102\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-roll-closeup.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-roll-closeup-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-roll-closeup-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artificial-grass-roll-closeup-768x466.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/><figcaption>One artificial grass roll with pile and backing visible: roll width and backing type decide how seams will run.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Roll Direction and Relax Time<\/h3>\n<p>Unroll and let the turf relax for 30-60 minutes before aligning, then acclimate it for a few hours before any cutting. Every roll must run the same grain direction \u2014 mixed directions read as two different surfaces under the same slide. Roll width shapes the seam count: 2m rolls suit compact areas, 4m covers most layouts, and 5m spans large spaces with almost no seams, in our own line&#8217;s sizing. Which is why crews planning to install artificial grass for playgrounds on open fields start from the widest roll the access route can carry.<\/p>\n<h3>Seam Away from Slide Exits<\/h3>\n<p>Plan seam positions while the rolls are still on the drawing, and keep them off the play lines \u2014 slide exits, swing landings and the sprint paths between equipment. One guide&#8217;s rule is blunt: seams belong away from high-traffic zones. At the joint, seam tape and two-part polyurethane adhesive do the work. One guide cites a 9:1 mix ratio and a 12-24 hour cure before traffic. Trim the joining edges one-long-one-short so the seam line disappears into the pile instead of reading as a rule-straight stripe.<\/p>\n<h3>Cut Tight Around Posts and Footings<\/h3>\n<p>Equipment posts and slide footings need precise cutouts, and the pad underneath must stay continuous through the fall zone even where the turf is cut. Two anchoring approaches exist per one European guide: fix equipment posts to firm ground before turf goes down, or set foundation slabs under the surface where digging is not possible. Mark both on the survey sheet so the cutouts are planned, not discovered.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"edges\">Fix the Edges for Wheelchairs, Wellies and Weed Whackers<\/h2>\n<p>Edges are one system: the perimeter restraint, the nail pattern and the transition to whatever surface meets the turf. A restraint such as bender board locks the perimeter so the turf cannot creep or lift. Nail patterns vary by source. One guide specifies 4-6 inch spacing, another 5-6 inch nails on 4-6 inch centers, and a third 6-12 inches along seams and edges. Match the pattern to your base and backing rather than averaging the sources.<\/p>\n<p>Transitions carry the accessibility case: where an accessible route is required, ASTM F1951 is the governing specification, aligned with the ADA Standards. Keep every edge flush, with no lip to catch a caster or a wellie. A raised edge survives handover until the first wheelchair meets it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout-tip\">\n<p>Before handover, walk the whole perimeter: no lifted edges, no step at transitions, no scattered turf outside the restraint. Three minutes of walking saves a callback visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-box\" style=\"background-color:#1a2b3c;border-radius:6px;padding:30px;margin:35px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#ffffff;margin-top:0;\">Planning a Playground Build This Season?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#ffffff;line-height:1.7;\">Roll width, pile height and turf spec are made to order at our line \u2014 send the equipment list and fall heights, and we will size the rolls to match.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/artificial-grass-for-playground\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background-color:#1a5c2e;color:#ffffff;padding:12px 24px;border-radius:4px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;\">Get Playground Turf Solutions<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"handover\">Infill, Hygiene and the Handover Walkthrough<\/h2>\n<p>Infill, hygiene and the final walkthrough close out install artificial grass for playgrounds work. Two infill routes cover most builds. One route spreads coated sand to stabilize blades \u2014 one Florida installer specifies coated sand or zeolite for children&#8217;s areas and avoids crumb rubber there entirely. The other route runs non-infill, with the pad and pile doing all the work. Whichever route you choose, the turf model drives it: our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/best-artificial-grass-for-playgrounds-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choosing the turf model and pad pairing before you order<\/a> walks that pairing decision.<\/p>\n<p>Hygiene maintenance is simple but scheduled: one guide recommends a weekly rinse and warns against bleach and solvents, which shorten fiber life. Groom the surface so blades stand upright after top-ups or heavy play weeks. None of this is heavy equipment work \u2014 a consistent routine keeps the surface reading as new through the seasons.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>Acceptance item<\/th>\n<th>Pass criterion<\/th>\n<th>Checked how<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Seams<\/td>\n<td>No open seam and no height step at any joint, per the seam craft above<\/td>\n<td>Hand-brush each joint, then eye-check against raking light<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Edges<\/td>\n<td>No lift anywhere; flush transition at every restraint and route<\/td>\n<td>Perimeter walk with a hand on each edge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Drainage<\/td>\n<td>Hose water runs through backing, pad and base to the survey&#8217;s low points; no ponding<\/td>\n<td>Hose test from the far corner<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shock pad<\/td>\n<td>Continuous across the fall zone with tight joints; test file matches the tallest platform on record<\/td>\n<td>Documents checked against the survey sheet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infill<\/td>\n<td>Even spread; blades stand upright after grooming, per your turf model&#8217;s route<\/td>\n<td>Groom pass, then a hand spot-check<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Documents<\/td>\n<td>Product spec, impact test file and maintenance sheet filed as one pack \u2014 our spec pack plus your lab&#8217;s reports<\/td>\n<td>Pack cross-checked and handed over<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Run the table on the day of handover, with the client&#8217;s representative present if the contract allows.
