What’s in a Professional Playground Turf System in Orlando and Central Florida?

Our Process

1

Consultation &
Site Assessment

Every project begins with a detailed site visit. We review the existing ground conditions, measure equipment fall zones, and evaluate drainage needs. This allows us to design a system that meets both safety requirements and long-term durability standards.

2

Custom Design
& Proposal

We provide a tailored plan that outlines the artificial turf system, safety surfacing, infill options, and drainage solutions. Our proposals include fall-height ratings, material details, and clear pricing so you know exactly what to expect.

3

Site Preparation & Base Installation

The foundation is the most important step. We excavate and grade the site, then install a compacted 3/8” minus aggregate base. This ensures excellent drainage, stability, and prevents future settling or puddling. This is a standard artificial grass drainage system but many other systems exist so we can deliver the best drainage system for your synthetic turf needs.

4

Shock Pad & Safety
Layer Installation

Unlike regular artificial turf lawns, your project may require fall-height protection, we can add a shock pad layer under the artificial turf. These pads are engineered to absorb impact and are carefully selected based on the height of the playground equipment being installed.

5

Artificial
Grass Placement

Our professional crew rolls out and secures premium playground turf, ensuring it’s tight, wrinkle-free, and properly aligned. Seams are bonded with industrial-grade adhesives and seam tape for a clean, long-lasting finish.

6

Infill Application
& Grooming

Infill is carefully applied to support the turf fibers, add cushioning, and improve safety. Options include silica sand, antimicrobial infill, or cooling products designed to keep surface temperatures down in the Orlando and Central Florida sun. Once applied, we groom and brush the turf for a natural look and proper performance.

7

Edging &
Containment

To keep everything secure, we install edging materials such as composite bender board, or pvc board. This step locks the turf system in place, artificial turf is secure to the boards and prevents migration of the aggregate base or infill.

8

Final Walkthrough
& Quality Check

Before completion, we perform a thorough inspection with you to ensure every detail is correct—from drainage function to seam quality. We explain maintenance needs and provide warranty information for peace of mind.

9

Ongoing Support
& Maintenance

Our relationship doesn’t end at the installation. We offer maintenance guidance and, for commercial projects, can provide ongoing service packages to keep your artificial playground turf in peak condition for years to come.
