Installing playground turf whether it be at a school, playground, or your own backyard is an excellent addition. It can also be a little overwhelming to explore all of...
Opting for quality materials with an additional backing layer underneath the turf provides clients with added protection, better water absorption, and overall expands the life of your installation. Below we'll walk through the different types of backing our featured products offer, and when they're used.
