How does TurboScape install surfacing?
Our experienced crew installs surfaces quickly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption by first preparing the site, including grading and leveling. We then compact a base layer before applying the material using a state-of-the-art revolutionary blowing system that reduces projects from weeks and days into hours while reducing labor costs and project timelines.
What types of playground surfacing are offered?
To meet specific needs, such as safety, esthetics, and durability, TurboScape provides different playground surfacing options, including colored loose-fill rubber playground mulch and engineered wood fiber (EWF).
What are the maintenance requirements for playground surfacing?
Maintenance is minimal but essential for longevity. It includes inspections for shifting or wear, cleaning debris and leaves, and checking for proper draining and moisture build-up.
What kind of maintenance is required for erosion control?
For erosion control, we proudly offer compost-based solutions, such as FilterMedia™ and Growing Media custom-installed within mesh FilterSoxx™, which effectively secures loose organic materials and is an environmentally beneficial alternative to straw bales and silt fences. Regular checks are needed, which may demand installing additional material to reinforce worn areas.
Are the surfacing materials weather-resistant?
Yes, but it depends on the material. For example, the colored rubber mulch we use for playground surfaces is weather-resistant, waterproof, and will not melt, making it suitable for the sun-drenched environments of Southern California.
How does TurboScape address drainage concerns?
After assessing your location and requirements, we can recommend the correct materials to use if drainage is a particular concern. For example, our industry-certified Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) has natural drainage properties that help prevent puddles. After rain, the surface remains dry, encouraging immediate play.
How durable is the playground surfacing?
Our premium playground chips are made of durable high-quality materials that are non-toxic and non-allergenic. They protect kids from falls and injuries, including those with disabilities.
What safety standards does TurboScape meet?
We comply with several safety standards and regulations to ensure safety and quality.
- ASTM F1292, which establishes minimum impact requirements for playground materials to reduce severe head injuries from falls; ASTM F2075, which covers the use of EWF as a playground surface; and ASTM F1951, which determines accessibility for wheelchair users.
- Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Guidelines.
- International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) Certification. Our EWF is IPEMA-certified.
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Local, state, and federal regulations for playground safety are abided when in San Diego, Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino Counties.
