Trail Trail – Artificial Grass for Tracks, Trails & Play Areas

Schools and nurseries need outdoor spaces that can cope with lots of daily use while remaining safe and tidy. The durable construction helps the surface stay looking good even with regular play and activity.

This surface can be used to create trails, activity areas or colourful play zones within a playground. Because it is available in several colours, it can also be used creatively to mark different areas, guide children along play trails or add visual interest to outdoor play spaces. Who said school outdoor areas were boring?

The shorter pile height of around 14mm helps create a neat and stable surface. This makes it particularly suitable for busy areas where children are running, walking and playing throughout the day, as the shorter fibres are better able to cope with regular movement. The dense structure also helps reduce movement, ensuring there are no slips or falls due to moving ground.

One of the main benefits of our Trail grass is that it requires very little maintenance. Unlike natural grass, there is no need for mowing, watering or fertilising, making it a practical solution for busy schools and public spaces. Just ensure that you regularly rinse any dirt which helps ensures the grass can properly drain while keeping its fresh, pristine look.

Both surfaces are commonly used in playgrounds, but they offer different advantages. Wood chippings have a natural look but can easily become displaced and untidy, especially with regular use, and often need topping up to keep the surface even. They can also become muddy in wet weather which might be a child’s idea of a fun time, it’s not for the one who has to clean up after them. A durable artificial grass surface on the other hand provides a more consistent finish that stays in place and is easier to maintain. For schools, nurseries and community play areas where a tidy, reliable surface is important, it can be a very practical and stress-free option.
