In addition, FieldTurf Signature Series is a superior solution for driving range landing zones, allowing you to increase range revenue while significantly reducing maintenance costs.
FieldTurf Playground is a high quality, competitively priced product line designed specifically for children's play areas. Whether it is to be placed beneath playground equipment or simply for a running play zone, the ASTM and ADA compliant product is adaptable to achieve the best suited functionality even at varying fall heights. At FieldTurf Tarkett, safety is of primary importance. Our line of sports surfacing products are designed and engineered with the safety of athletes and end users in mind. With FieldTurf Playground, we are expanding this mindset to all areas where athletes and children might play.
The same qualities that make FieldTurf an outstanding surface for sports fields and golf courses makes it ideal for home or commercial landscaping. With thousands of residential and commercial landscaping installations, it has proven to be extremely well suited for areas where natural grass is difficult to grow or where upkeep is impractical due to water restrictions or other environmental factors. And its durability makes it the sensible choice for high-traffic areas without the need for mowing, irrigation, thatching, weeding or control of insects and disease. FieldTurf also has the ability to design and produce corporate logos for commercial installations.
With FieldTurf's dedication to engineering and providing effective solutions for specific applications, it has become possible to have a pet and a beautiful lawn. Thousands of institutions have FieldTurf at their dog facilities, kennels, or pet care facilities. FieldTurf provides a lawn that is clean, low maintenance, safe from pet abuse and available 365 days a year. With a FieldTurf synthetic lawn, homeowners, pets, and kennel owners can have a beautiful area everyday, without the hassles and expense of maintaining a natural lawn. Pets love it because it is soft and it looks and feels just like real grass. Less time is spent cleaning pets since FieldTurf eliminates muddy paws and filth. The sand and rubber infill is non-toxic to pets and enables liquids to drain right through the surface.
