Playgrounds are some of the most heavily used spaces in any community. Natural grass rarely holds up to daily wear and tear, leaving mud, bald patches, and uneven ground that can create safety concerns. That’s why schools, parks, daycares, and families are choosing playground turf installation in Fort Worth. At DFW Turf Pros, owner Marc Freidberg and his team install synthetic turf systems designed to provide a safe, durable, and clean play environment for kids of all ages.
Artificial turf is quickly becoming the standard for modern play areas. The benefits are clear:
Safety first – cushioned underlayment reduces fall impact
Clean surfaces – no mud, no dirt, no mess
All-weather use – turf drains quickly and dries fast after rain
Durability – withstands high foot traffic without wearing down
Year-round green look – no patchy or brown grass
For parents and facility managers, this means less maintenance and more peace of mind.
Not all turf is the same. At DFW Turf Pros, we use playground systems that meet or exceed national safety standards. Features include:
Shock-absorbing pads under the turf for fall protection
Lead-free, non-toxic materials safe for children
Antimicrobial technology to limit bacteria growth
Cool infill options to keep surface temperatures comfortable in Texas summers
These features ensure that playground turf is both child-friendly and long-lasting.
Proper installation is critical for both safety and durability. Our team follows a step-by-step process:
Remove existing grass or surface material
Prepare and grade the base with crushed stone for drainage
Install a shock-absorbing pad layer if required
Roll out and seam the playground turf
Secure edges and borders for stability
Add infill for cushioning, support, and cooling
Groom the turf for a natural finish
This method produces a consistent, level play surface that stands up to daily use.
We install turf across a variety of locations in Fort Worth, including:
Backyards with playsets and swing sets
Schools looking for safe, low-maintenance grounds
Daycare centers with heavy daily use
Public parks that serve large numbers of children
Community centers needing multi-use play areas
Each installation is customized to the space, ensuring maximum safety and durability.
On average, playground turf costs between $8 and $15 per square foot installed. The final price depends on the type of turf, whether safety padding is included, and the overall size of the project. While the upfront investment is higher than natural grass, the long-term savings from reduced maintenance and water use quickly offset the cost.
