At Sunshine Turf, we pride ourselves on providing top-quality synthetic grass solutions that prioritize safety, durability, and excellence in workmanship. From providing detailed drawings and delivering estimates within 24 hours to collaborating closely on design elements, we ensure that your vision for the playground is realized. Moreover, we offer mock-up designs for your review, create custom surface designs that harmonize with the park's theme and playground equipment, and seamlessly integrate mounds and berms at specified elevations. In this blog post, we'll explore Sunshine Turf's offerings for your playground projects, focusing on safety standards, workmanship, and our range of products.
Safety Standards: When it comes to playground surfaces, safety is non-negotiable. At Sunshine Turf, we adhere to the highest safety standards in the industry. Our entire system, from the construction of the playground surface base to the infill in the synthetic grass, is meticulously designed and installed to ensure maximum safety for children. Our commitment to safety is evident in our rigorous testing and certifications:
ASTM F 1292 Testing: Our synthetic grass systems have passed ASTM F 1292 testing for up to a 15-foot Critical Fall Height, providing exceptional impact attenuation and reducing the risk of injuries from falls.
ASTM F 1951-14 Testing: Our surfaces meet the Accessibility standards outlined in ASTM F 1951-14, ensuring accessibility for children of all abilities.
ASTM F 1551 Water Permeability: Our synthetic grass surfaces exhibit excellent water permeability, preventing water accumulation and promoting quick drainage.
In addition to meeting these standards, all materials used in our synthetic grass systems are non-toxic, lead-free, and free from harmful chemicals, making them safe for children to play on.
Workmanship: At Sunshine Turf, we believe that the quality of our workmanship is just as important as the quality of our products. Our crew leads have years of exclusive experience in installing artificial turf, with the least experienced lead boasting 6 years of experience and the most experienced lead boasting 10 years. Our entire crew is highly trained and skilled in synthetic grass installation techniques.
We stand behind the quality of our workmanship by offering a 15-year warranty on all work performed by Sunshine Turf. This warranty far exceeds the industry standard of 1 to 3 years and reflects our commitment to excellence. In the rare event of an issue with the turf surface resulting from our workmanship, we promptly return to repair it at no cost to you. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is unwavering.

Designing playgrounds involves careful consideration of safety, durability, and aesthetics. At Sunshine Turf, we understand the importance of creating playground surfaces that not only look beautiful but also prioritize the well-being of children. Our synthetic grass solutions are engineered with advanced technology to offer unmatched durability, cooling properties, and antimicrobial protection.
Durable Blade Structure: Sunshine Turf utilizes cutting-edge technology to create a more durable blade structure for our synthetic grass. Our blades are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and intense play, ensuring long-lasting performance without compromising safety or comfort.
Wave Blade Shape for Lush Appearance: One of the key features of Sunshine Turf's synthetic grass is its wave blade shape, which helps maintain a lush and natural appearance over time. Unlike traditional turf that may flatten and lose its vibrancy, our wave blade technology ensures that the blades stand up straight, providing a consistently plush surface for children to enjoy.
Evaporative Cooling Technology: We understand that playground surfaces can become uncomfortably hot, especially in warm climates like Florida. That's why we incorporate evaporative cooling technology into every project. Reducing synthetic turf surface temperatures by up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit without compromising performance, this eco-friendly solution utilizes hydration from irrigation, rainfall, or humidity to continuously keep the turf cooler, safer, and more playable.
Antimicrobial Protection with BacShield: Ensuring a clean and hygienic playground environment is essential for children's health and well-being. Sunshine Turf's synthetic grass is infused with BacShield, an antimicrobial agent that prevents the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. BacShield is sustainable, renewable, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable, making it the optimum choice for maintaining a healthy and long-lasting synthetic turf system.
Comprehensive Support and Warranty: At Sunshine Turf, we go above and beyond to support our clients throughout every step of the playground design and installation process. We provide detailed drawings, 24-hour estimate turnaround times, and collaborate on design elements to ensure the playground meets your vision. Additionally, we offer mock-up designs for review, custom surface designs to match the theme of the park and playground equipment, and the incorporation of mounds and berms at set elevations.
When it comes to creating safe, durable, and visually appealing playground surfaces, Sunshine Turf sets the standard. Our innovative synthetic grass solutions are backed by advanced technology, antimicrobial protection, and comprehensive support services. With a 15-year product warranty and workmanship guarantee, you can trust Sunshine Turf to deliver superior results that enhance the quality and enjoyment of playgrounds for years to come.
