General
When installed properly, synthetic turf can last up to 20 years. And that’s with very little maintenance. Opting for synthetic over real grass ensures you have a clean, neat, and tidy play surface all year round.
Synthetic turf offers several benefits to both residential and commercial properties, including:
- Minimal maintenance. No more mowing, watering, edge-trimming, weeding or top dressing, which means you can eliminate lawn maintenance time and/or costs.
- Durable. If it’s installed properly, synthetic turf is ideal for high-traffic areas. It won’t lift or buckle, and you won’t have to deal with mud, dirt, and puddles.
- Conserves water. We all know how important it is to cut down on our water usage, and synthetic turf doesn’t require watering. Synthetic turf can reduce your water consumption by 40 litres per square metre per year.
- Looks amazing. A good quality artificial turf product that is installed well looks and feels just like a well-maintained natural lawn. And it stays green, lush and weed free all year round, no matter what the weather.
Wet pour rubber surfaces offer several benefits for playgrounds:
- Our wet pour rubber surfaces are specifically designed to provide a safe, cushioned area around elevated play equipment as well as in sports and play areas – significantly reducing the risk of injuries.
- Our wet pour rubber is 100% made from recycled materials, so it’s an environmentally friendly choice for playground surfacing.
- With a wide range of colours and designs available, you can easily create custom designs and artwork to make your playground more engaging and distinctive. Wet pour rubber can even be moulded into a wide range of 3D shapes, providing opportunities for 3D art, sculptures and interactive features.
On average, wet pour rubber can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years (or longer) when installed by a professional. Minimal maintenance is required, which we will advise you of upon handover.
The cost to design and construct depends on several factors, including the size of your outdoor space, the type of site preparation required, and the product you choose. Reach out to our team for a fast, accurate quote.
Every Impact Playgrounds project follows our proven three-step process:
- Initial concept and product selection: We consult with you to understand your vision, create an initial concept design and choose the right products for you.
- Detailed design: We design the perfect playground for your needs, with an emphasis on safety, durability and fun!
- Expert construction: We install your surface and equipment quickly and with minimal disruption – all the while ensuring the total safety of residents, staff, children and visitors.
Definitely not. With more than 20 years of experience working on live sites surrounded by children, parents, educators and other stakeholders, we know how to build a playground quickly, with minimal disruption and to the highest standards of safety.
While we try to keep disruption to a minimum, there will be some level of disruption to services. Wherever possible, we stage works so children always have access to an outdoor play space. We also ensure that parking spaces are kept as free as possible, especially during dropoff and pickup times so that busy parents aren’t inconvenienced.
Absolutely. We follow the highest safety standards to ensure that all children, parents, educators and other stakeholders are totally safe while we’re on site. All onsite tradespeople are required to have passed Working With Children checks, and we have specific emergency stop work procedures in place in the extremely unlikely event of a child entering a live work site.
Sure! Just visit our Project Showcase page for more information.
We provide a comprehensive maintenance guide as part of the handover at the completion of each project. If followed correctly, this will improve the longevity of your play area. We are always available to discuss any specific maintenance questions. Note: all school and childcare projects receive one year of complimentary maintenance support.
Our only goal is to put smiles on faces – both yours and those of the kids in your care. That’s why we introduced our Happiness Guarantee: if you’re not delighted with any aspect of our service, we’ll fix it for free.
We certainly can. While it’s easier to build a playground while students are on vacation, we are well accustomed to constructing playgrounds while normal term time school activities take place. With more than 20 years of experience working on live sites surrounded by children, parents, educators and other stakeholders, we know how to build a playground quickly, with minimal disruption and to the highest standards of safety.
