Safe Play Grounds with Soft Lawn™ Products by STI
It has been an exciting venture – transforming sand or tire shredded play areas into aesthetically pleasing, safe play areas for our children. The parents are ecstatic – no black marks on the children or their clothes – no more sand or mulch to clean out of their shoes at night. One private school that STI installed “Soft Lawn” Grass for was accustomed to lining the children up every day after play and they did a stomping, shaking routine to get the mulch off their socks and clothes before they went back into the school.
“Safe Play Yards” and PlayGround surface installations are performed with compliance consideration of the Consumer Protection Safety Board recommendations for playground surfaces. These requirements – with emphasis on safety include “a safety cushion” under the STI surface to reduce injury from falls around climber and slide equipment; creating “fall zones”. This “safety cushion” extends a minimum of 6 feet in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment.
Further according to the U S Consumer Products Commission eight out of ten surfaces in use today were found to be too hard and that 75% of all playground injuries were a result of falls and that protective surfacing under and around play equipment is a critical factor on playgrounds.
Some advantages, in addition to minimal maintenance, of installing our “Soft Lawn” products in your yard, playground area or school yard are:

- No mowing, insecticides or chemicals

The same quality product is used for our school, play yard and lawn applications which resembles real grass. The surface is infilled to increase stability , creating a weighted surface which looks beautiful year around. It can be cleaned with a leaf blower or rake. The fibers are water resistant and our technicians are trained to install your new yard with proper seaming and drainage.
Synthetic grass lawns have never been more affordable and realistic. Our “Soft Lawn” surface and installation technique is used for areas where grass is hard to grow due to lack of sun or over-damp conditions. Under trees where natural grasses suffer from a lack of sunlight, or high traffic areas such as golf cart paths, subways along a driveway can be beautified with artificial turf . You can say farewell to the high expense of mowing, fertilizing and watering ! Similarly the meridians in Villages and in private clubs are a perfect site for “Soft Lawn” – just put a soaker in where your trees or flowers are – no weeds, no fertilizer and no mowing of the surrounding area.
More golf facilities are installing areas of artificial turf – along cart paths and in areas where it is hard to grow natural grass. They are installing artificial grasses as it allows excellent drainage, is cost effective and requires little maintenance.
