CREATE AN OAKLAND BACKYARD WHERE CHILDREN CAN REALLY PLAY
A backyard should invite children outside instead of becoming an area parents constantly need to protect and repair. Kid-Friendly Turf in Oakland, CA can create a dependable surface for running, games, family activities, and everyday outdoor play. Unlike natural lawn, synthetic turf does not develop the same bare spots when children repeatedly use one section. It also eliminates mowing and reduces the mud and loose dirt that children can carry back into the house. After rainfall, families can return to the yard once the surface has properly drained. Better Than Real Artificial Grass works with residential yards as well as larger recreational environments throughout the East Bay. See how we approach local projects on our Artificial Grass Installation Oakland, CA page.
PLAYGROUND TURF REQUIRES MORE THAN A SOFT GREEN SURFACE
Softness is important, but a successful children’s play area begins underneath the visible turf. Proper excavation, grading, drainage, compacted base preparation, secure seams, infill, and professional finishing all contribute to the performance of the completed space. For playground applications, additional cushioning can also be incorporated when appropriate. A shock-attenuation pad beneath the turf can provide another layer of protection for active play environments. Product selection should also consider traffic levels, drainage, durability, and the age and activities of the children using the area. Better Than Real Artificial Grass has experience with residential playgrounds, schools, daycare centers, and other active spaces.

MATERIALS FOR CHILDREN DESERVE EXTRA ATTENTION
Parents naturally want to know more about products installed where their children crawl, sit, run, and play. For that reason, Better Than Real Artificial Grass believes product information should be available for customers to review. We offer premium, kid-friendly turf solutions and publish laboratory testing information for our artificial grass, including lead and PFAS testing. Artificial turf also eliminates the routine fertilizers, insecticides, and pesticides associated with maintaining a traditional lawn. For appropriate projects, eco-friendly infill options such as Envirofill can also become part of the complete system. Rather than making broad promises, we focus on quality materials, professional preparation, and responsible installation practices. Oakland families, schools, and property managers can review additional information on our Certified Tests page.

SAVE WATER WHILE CREATING A MULTIPURPOSE FAMILY YARD
Oakland families do not have to choose between an attractive landscape and a yard designed for active children. Premium synthetic turf can create a green surface for playground equipment, games, sports practice, pets, birthday parties, and everyday family recreation. At the same time, artificial grass requires no routine lawn irrigation, helping reduce landscape water consumption in California. It also eliminates mowing and reseeding while maintaining a consistent appearance throughout the year. Excellent drainage helps the surface recover from wet weather, while UV-resistant fibers are designed for prolonged outdoor exposure. A single backyard can therefore serve several purposes instead of dedicating valuable space to a fragile natural lawn. Families planning more active recreation areas can also explore our Artificial Grass Sports Fields Installation solutions.
