What Could Your School Grounds Look Like with Sport and Playground Surfacing?

14th June 2016

Whether you are a head teacher, caretaker, teacher, TA or any other person in a school right now we would like you to take a peek out of the window. What can you say about it? Are you proud of your school grounds? Or do you think it could do with a much needed revamp… well if so you are in the right place! Here at Synthetic Turf Management we supply and install bespoke sport and playground surfacing with high quality British manufactured turf. 

Before we go into the benefits of artificial turf for your sport and playground surfacing needs, we thought we would give you an idea on what is considered unattractive, dull and a possible safety hazard…

Trying to make the most of your school grounds when it looks like this one can be difficult. Concrete surfacing can take a long time to dry out after heavy rain which will prevent pupils from learning in the outdoor environment.

Practising sports skills such as dribbling could be very difficult on such a hard surface and could cause frequent injury
