Application Solutions
Safety-rated turf for playgrounds and recreational areas. Shock-absorbing, non-toxic, priced at $8–40/m². Factory-direct from Relyir since 2006.
Safety Meets Durability
Playground surfaces face the most demanding combination of requirements in any turf application: they must cushion falls, withstand constant abrasion, resist UV degradation, drain quickly and stay clean — all while being safe for direct skin contact by children.
An optional foam shock pad beneath the turf increases impact absorption around play equipment. The pad thickness is matched to the critical fall height of the equipment — taller structures need thicker pads. This system approach addresses the safety standard that playground specifiers need to meet.
Relyir playground turf uses virgin PE and PP materials — non-toxic, lead-free and manufactured from food-grade-quality plastics. The raw materials comply with NEN EN71-3 safety standards for toys. No recycled content of unknown origin is used in the fiber or backing.
Playgrounds benefit from bright, engaging colors that define activity zones and stimulate children’s imagination. Relyir offers colored turf, custom logos, patterned designs and multi-color installations that turn a play surface into an interactive environment.
Product Range
A playground surface is a safety system first and a ground cover second. Our playground models — 5 mm high-wear turf through 50 mm open-play lawn — are specified to pair with a foam shock pad calculated to the equipment’s fall height, then built dense enough to take daily crawling, sliding and dragging.

Playground Surface Design
A playground surface is more than a ground cover — it is a safety system. The critical fall height of play equipment determines the level of impact absorption the surface must provide. A climbing frame with a 2-meter platform requires a different surface specification than a ground-level sandpit.
Relyir addresses this by pairing the turf with an optional foam shock pad. The pad thickness is calculated based on the equipment’s critical fall height, and the turf-p pad combination is tested as a system. For projects requiring compliance with specific playground safety standards, we provide the product specifications and work with your testing laboratory through the verification process.
Beyond safety, the surface needs to handle extreme wear. Children run, slide, crawl and drag equipment across the same high-traffic zones every day. Dense, short-pile turf resists abrasion and fiber pull-out in these zones, while mid-pile models serve open play areas where the wear is more distributed.
Color transforms a playground from a flat green surface into an engaging environment. Relyir’s colored turf range allows designers to create game courts, hopscotch patterns, road networks, ocean themes and brand-specific designs directly in the surface — no paint, no stickers, no maintenance.
For schools and municipalities, the investment in synthetic playground turf eliminates the ongoing costs of replacing loose-fill materials (rubber mulch, wood chips, sand) that scatter, compact and require annual top-up. The synthetic surface stays in place, drains after rain and needs only periodic brushing to maintain.
Factory Direct from Jiangsu
Relyir has manufactured artificial grass in Jiangsu since 2006. Playground turf is produced on the same lines as our sports and landscaping products, with the same virgin material standards and quality controls.
All eight production stages are managed in-house. The automated sports turf line, commissioned in 2015, lifted production capacity by 150%. Playground orders — whether for a single backyard swing set or a 2,000 m² school play area — receive the same material quality and production standards.
Custom playground designs — colored zones, logos, game patterns — are integrated at the factory using multi-color tufting and CNC cutting. The export team has shipped to more than 500 customers across 50+ countries since 2009.
Every order is produced to specification — pile height, density, blade shape and color, backing composition and roll dimensions are all configured to your project requirements.
Playground Installation
Playground installation follows the same base-preparation principles as other turf applications, with the addition of shock pad placement around equipment fall zones.
Excavate to the required depth and build a compacted aggregate base with drainage. Playground bases need to be especially level to prevent trip hazards at seam points and equipment transitions.
Lay foam shock pad sheets in areas beneath and surrounding play equipment. Pad thickness is matched to the critical fall height of the equipment. The pad is secured to the base with adhesive.
Install turf over the base and shock pad. Seam panels with adhesive and tape. Cut around equipment footings, ensuring clean transitions between the turf and play structures.
Apply sand infill, brush fibers upright, and inspect the entire surface for trip hazards, exposed seams or loose edges. Verify that fall zone padding coverage is complete.
Playground turf maintenance focuses on hygiene and surface integrity. Regular brushing keeps fibers upright and infill distributed. Periodic rinsing removes dirt, food residue and organic matter. Inspect seams and edges quarterly for any lifting that could create trip hazards.
The non-porous synthetic surface does not harbor bacteria the way loose-fill materials can. Unlike rubber mulch or wood chips, there is no material to scatter, ingest or track into buildings.
Playground turf is a safety surfacing first: its protective value comes from the shock pad underneath, with industry guides pairing pad thickness to equipment fall height — thicker pads are specified as play structure heights rise, with systems tested to ASTM fall-impact guidelines. The turf itself supplies the clean, splinter-free, all-weather surface; the pad supplies the certified impact attenuation. Together they let parks replace loose-fill mulch that scatters, compacts and hides hazards.
Through the shock pad layer under the turf, sized to your equipment’s fall height and tested against ASTM impact guidelines. The turf alone is not the safety layer — specify pad and carpet as one system.
Yes. Relyir playground turf uses virgin PE and PP materials — non-toxic, lead-free and compliant with NEN EN71-3 safety standards for toys. No recycled content of unknown origin is used. The fibers are soft on skin and the surface drains liquids quickly.
The critical fall height depends on the shock pad thickness and turf specification. By matching pad thickness to your equipment height, the surface system can be designed to meet the fall height requirements of your project. We provide specifications for your testing laboratory to verify.
Playground turf pricing ranges from $7–$60 per square meter depending on model and specifications. While the initial investment is higher than loose-fill materials, synthetic turf eliminates annual top-up, scatter cleanup and replacement costs. Most playground installations recover their cost within 5–7 years.
Yes. We manufacture colored turf in over a dozen colors and can tuft game patterns, logos, hopscotch grids, road networks and custom designs directly into the surface. The design is permanent — not painted — and lasts the full lifespan of the turf.
Synthetic turf absorbs more heat than natural grass in direct sunlight. For playgrounds in hot climates, lighter-colored fibers, shorter pile heights and occasional water spray during peak heat help manage surface temperature. Shade structures over play equipment also reduce heat buildup on the surface below.
Yes. Samples are free of charge — you only cover the shipping. Standard swatches are 20 × 20 cm and we typically send three to four models per project so you can compare pile heights and colors side by side. Standard samples ship via DHL or FedEx within 4–6 days; custom-matched samples add 10–15 days of production.
Yes. Choose between two options: delivered to your destination port, with export customs clearance in China, international ocean freight and cargo insurance included in one all-inclusive cost; or delivered to a Chinese port if you prefer to work with your own freight forwarder. Other delivery arrangements can be accommodated on request.
Orders range from single rolls for smaller installations to full container loads for large developments. Roll sizes of 2 m, 4 m and 5 m widths (25 m length) cover most layouts, and custom dimensions are produced to order. Volume pricing applies as order size increases.
Send your playground dimensions, equipment heights and design requirements. Our team replies with turf and shock pad specifications, safety documentation and factory-direct pricing within 12 hours — typically 30–50% below international equivalents..
