We run a daycare, and the Lawn Pads under our artificial turf have been a fantastic addition. They provide a cushioned surface that reduces the impact of falls, giving us peace of mind when the kids are playing. The pads were easy to install, and they don’t affect the drainage of the turf. They’ve been in place for over a year and still provide the same level of cushioning as when they were new. Highly recommend for anyone installing turf in play areas.
For artificial grass installations, both lawn pads and shockpads will provide the cushions to make the turf feel great. However, shockpad is thin and will only provide minimum cushioning with no fall ratings, lawn pads are thick which can not only provide cushioning but also fall ratings. For an example, a 1-1/4” thick lawn pad’s fall rating is 5’, in another word it will be safe to fall from 5’. Combinations of different lawn pads can provide different fall ratings. In general, the lawn pads cost more than shockpads. To learn more about our shockpad or lawn pad products, please feel free to call us at 877 796 8873 or email us at [email protected], thank you!
Read Answer: Lawn pads or shock pads?
Theoretically yes! In most cases, you can easily feel the fluffiness while walking on the tall blade turf. All our tall blade artificial grass is typically with higher faceweight which is also densier so the cushioning feel is very obvious. To achieve ultimate cushioning and fall rating, it is always recommended to use lawn pads underneath the turf. If you Al have other other questions, please give us a call at 877 796 8873 or email us at [email protected], thank you.

When it comes to use lawn pads for artificial grass, the thickness of the lawn pads matters the most. In general, the main purposes for lawn pads are for cushions and fall ratings. Al lost all public facilities such are playgrounds and etc., there will be certain fall ratings requirements, from 5’ to 20’ which means kids won’t be hurt when falling onto the surface from such height. The lawn pads with thickness of between 3/4” and 2-1/4” will satisfy such requirements with single layer or stacked layers. For just cushioning purpose, any thickness of lawn pad will serve the purpose well, the general rule is the thicker the lawn pad, the more of cushions. By all said above, it is almost irrelevant for what kind of artificial grass you will choose, it is more of what thickness of the pads you will select to make the difference.

All our artificial grass designed and manufactured to be toxic free and kid friendly. Even though at the hand feel some turf might be a bit stiffer compared with others, but my experience is that once they are installed and in a warm day, all fibers will become soft enough to be pleasant for kids to play on.

Yes, for most of artificial grass installations, lawn pads are optional except for public playground projects which are designed to have certain fall ratings: such safety requirements are generally incorporated in a turf project design, and lawn pads must be used per design.
