I grew up running around and playing in the front yard of my parent's house. I had a lot of fun and made a lot of great memories there as a kid. Now that I have my own home and my own children, it has always been a dream of mine to have my kids enjoy our front lawn just as much as I did growing up. Problem is, I had no idea how much effort it took in keeping natural grass clean and safe for kids! My husband and I don't always have time to cut the grass, treat it, pull out the weeds, water it, etc. And then I noticed our next-door neighbors lawn, which always seemed to have perfectly maintained grass, and I had no idea why. Turns out, he had artificial grass installed years ago and has never looked back. We didn't even notice it wasn't real grass! We were definitely skeptical at first, not knowing how much it would cost and how long it would take, but after talking to the reps from Global Syn-Turf, my husband and I felt it was the right decision. Synthetic turf really saved us a lot of stress and money actually, and we haven't looked back since. My kids can finally enjoy the front lawn just like I did.
It will be perfectly fine for you to place garden furnitures, kids toys or trampoline on the artificial grass. Just like putting furnitures on your carpet inside your house, the only thing you need to be aware of is that once you remove these furnitures in the future, you will see the pressing marks on the artificial turf surface which is very normal.

If I understand you fully, I assume you are considering to put a loose piece of artificial grass on top of paver stones? You absolutely can. Here are my recommendations: you won't want to have a too small of piece as it might have tripping hazards along the edges if the kids playing on and off the turf, you will need a big enough piece for the play area so kids can stay within the turf without running on and off the turf. As we all know how active kids can be, a simple solution to attach a piece of turf onto a solid surface such as pavers is to use velcro along the edges of the turf or double sided tape to prevent any tripping hazards.

It is definitely not a good idea to have kids outside when the temperature is at 100 degrees or higher, regardless on the artificial grass or not. I will assume your question is more of hypothetical for which the answer would be no. The ground surface and the artificial turf’s temperature can be much higher than 100 degrees if the air temperature is at 100 degree. In such hot days, with the help of Tcool infills and spray water, you can bring the turf’s temperature down by as much as 50 degrees which should be bearable for kids to be on it. However, again, it might not be a good idea to have the kid outside in such heat to start with.

It is always a good idea to use shock pad under the grass, for kids or not for kids. The shock pad is about 1/4" thick and comes in a roll of 5'x200', they are relatively easy to install, and to be joined with duck tapes. One of the tricks of installing a shock pad is to always leave 6 inches of gaps along the perimeters to allow it to expand and contract during temperature changes.

Absolutely. Artificial grass will be a much better option for playgrounds. Playgrounds get used a lot and I will suggest you to discuss with us when selecting your product, my recommendation is always to go with artificial grass that is lower pile and more durable. More importantly, artificial grass surface needs to have meet certain fall ratings or in the industry's term: GMax. In order to achieve to certain fall ratings, you need to install padding underneath the grass: The pads come in different thicknesses, each thickness offers its own fall rating capacities. For an example, if you want to have a fall rating of 5' which means falling onto the surface from 5' won't get people hurt, the thickness of the pads needs to be 1-1/4", the higher the fall, the thicker of the pads needed.
