You can get a good G-max without a shock pad, but you may want to consider our new shock pads in residential landscaping for three fundamental reasons:
Shock pads help to prevent and to reduce injuries and traumas. While required for athletes and children, homeowners may love to feel smooth and delicate surface under their feet as well.
Infill can migrate on the turf surface. It happens more often in heavy traffic areas. Shock pads reduce the amount of infill (and subsequent infill "splash") by lowering the height of the fiber pile and increasing the density of the pile itself. The concept of having shock pads inside infill itself had changed due to low shock-attenuation levels and extensive maintenance. Today, most business owners regard shock pads like just like an extra insurance.

These are fantastic! We used them to create a playground surface in our backyard under a swing set. They provide excellent protection against falls and allow the kids to use bikes or scooters, unlike alternatives such as mulch or wood chips. Plus, there's no mud like with grass! After a year or so, we now have some minimal buckling in areas where roots have grown in, but it's very minor. We're so pleased we went this direction. It's worth the investment to not have to deal with mud or messy mulch or chips. So glad we did it!

We've got a variety of swings in our backyard. The grass doesn't seem to grow beneath them. To solve this we placed mats under the swings, for cushioning. To hide the dirt and mud. These mats are durable easy to set up and have made a difference. It was a task to level the ground under the mat, which has been great for preventing dirt and mud build up and making swinging more enjoyable for my kids. I'm really happy, with this product! I ended up ordering more to place under all our swing areas.
