Artificial Grass For Primary Schools

STM designs and installs interactive, educative playground surfaces for primary schools.

What Are EPIC Primary School Playgrounds?

For over 15 years, Synthetic Turf Management has proudly delivered our EPIC (Educational Play in Colour) system to customers across the UK. This cost-effective, safe surfacing solution is designed to overlay existing tarmac or be built from scratch on natural grass. With EPIC, you can create vibrant, themed play areas tailored to your needs, complete with colourful designs and markings that inspire imaginative play.


What Are the Benefits of the EPIC System?

The EPIC system stands out for its versatility. It can be installed as a brand-new surface or seamlessly integrated into existing play areas, including undulating landscapes, around mounds, or even over tunnels.

Key benefits include:

  • Durability: Made from 18mm thick, sand-dressed artificial turf, EPIC is hard-wearing yet soft to the touch, making it suitable for wheelchairs, children’s bikes, and daily wear and tear.
  • Customisation: Available in 8 vibrant colours, from classic green to magenta pink, allowing for endless creative possibilities.
  • Safety: Slip-resistant and designed to create a clean, safe environment, EPIC includes a specially designed shock pad with critical fall height protection of up to 2.0 metres, making it ideal for play equipment of various heights.
  • Longevity: Built to withstand heavy use while maintaining its visual appeal.

Can We Have Themed Designs?

Absolutely! All EPIC surfaces are custom-designed by our in-house team, allowing customers to select their preferred colours and incorporate creative elements like butterflies, animals, or games such as snakes and ladders. These designs are precision inlaid by our expert installation team to bring your vision to life.

With EPIC, you can transform any play area into an engaging, imaginative, and safe space for children to explore and enjoy.

STM work nationwide in developing sport and play surfaces for schools. We understand that every primary school we work with has different needs and ideas. That’s why every synthetic turf playground we design is tailored to that specific school. From play areas to reading zones, to traditional playground game markings to sports markings we deliver a product that is durable, usable, and great fun for kids.

Trail ‘n’ Play is a great way of using synthetic turf around play equipment – a clean and safe alternative to muddy grass or wood chippings.

Having worked in partnership with many schools, as well as the Youth Sports Trust, we are proud of the difference we make to playgrounds across the UK.

Schools are frequently looking for the most suitable surface for sports, MUGAs (Multi Use Games Area) and safe play areas. Synthetic Turf Management works with primary schools to provide artificial grass surfaces (commonly known as astro turf) that meet the very demanding school environment; durability is key for heavy use during curriculum and extra curricular time.

Artificial turf is a great way of optimising the space you have in your school. Synthetic turf technology has been advancing for several years, meaning that it is now possible to create MUGAs (Multi Use Games Areas) that are totally tailored a specific schools’ needs. Different sports require different kinds of turf, which is why a MUGA synthetic turf area is great for maximising space. One MUGAs can have the right turfs and pitch markings for various different sports, such as tennis, netball, rounders and football. Tailored pitch markings can also provide areas for team games and general P.E. practices.
