Trulawn is the leading supplier of artificial grass to schools and nurseries in the UK. Whether you want to improve your entrance or update your play area, artificial grass can really make a difference to the use and appearance of school grounds and improve a pupil’s overall experience of school life. Have a read of some of the qualities that makes artificial grass a great choice for schools…
Encourages sport and activity…
Artificial grass is great for transforming playgrounds or pitches that have worn thin over too much use, or cannot sustain a healthy cover of grass because of weather related issues. Artificial grass is a durable alternative that will not wear out and is usable throughout the school year for a variety of sports and activities.
Softens hard areas…
Many schools and nurseries have trim trails, climbing frames and play equipment included within their playgrounds. The areas around this equipment can become hard from a lack of sunlight or from frequent use. Artificial grass can soften these areas, as well as provide a gentle space to land on. This is re-enforced by the optional addition of shock pad which is a fall cushioning substrate underlay. Shock pad reduces the amount of potential injury sustained through a trip or fall, which may be beneficial to areas with lots of equipment.
Stimulates creative play…
We also provide grasses in colours other than green. If you wanted to inspire some creative play, like turning the area into the seven seas or the surface of the moon, there are many colours on offer to make something a bit different. You could also add features like tunnels which add a whole new dimension to the outdoors. Whether you want them to stand out or have them in-keeping with the rest of the environment is up to you.
Provides a safe outdoors…
Parents often worry about allowing their small children outside, especially when the area is covered in concrete. Artificial grass provides a soft area that children can crawl around on and experience the outside world. It’s inevitable that kids will experience a few scrapes and grazes as they grow up, but it’s not the end of the world when there’s a lush covering of grass underfoot to cushion the fall.
Keep up with appearances…
It’s difficult to maintain a school ground; sometimes there just isn’t the budget to keep it looking tip-top. Artificial grass is a no hassle solution which stays green all year and won’t suffer under rain or sun. It requires very little maintenance, looks good and is great to play on.
