Shock Pad
Shock pad is a type of underlay that is often used as a base for artificial grass in schools and nurseries. Made out of fused together polyethylene pieces, shock pad is a fall cushioning substrate. It has a spongy but firm feel which makes it perfect for use as an outdoor safety surface.

Used under and around play equipment in schools and nurseries, shock pad is used to deliver what’s called a ‘critical fall height’. A critical fall height is the greatest height of head first fall, from which a child, landing on a surface could be expected to avoid sustaining a critical head injury. Shock pad is used to meet these critical fall heights – typically between 1 – 2 meters.

Rubber edging
When it comes to kids, safety is always the most important consideration. Sometimes in a lay only situation (when you are installing on top of an existing surface like concrete) it is a good idea to include rubber edging in the installation.

This is a black sloping edging that alleviates the potential trip hazard of transitioning between the two surfaces. It is generally not needed when installing within a grass area because the ground is excavated in order that the grass will meet the surface of existing paving or concrete.

Maintenance
All artificial grasses need some level of maintenance, especially if they are going to be high traffic areas. Thankfully it is a very durable surface so this is far less than with natural grass. We recommend that excess leaves are removed and the grass is given a stiff brush in order to keep it looking tip top.

We use a power brusher to lift the pile and these can be bought online. Alternatively, give us a ring and we can arrange a maintenance visit. Our grasses are all non-infill grasses so that means we don’t add sand to the top. This saves from any yearly cost of sand removal and replacement.
