Turf padding is placed under your artificial lawn to absorb shock. It keeps the ground soft and safe and comes in sheets of foam. These sheets can absorb a lot of shock on impact, adding safety and resilience to your artificial turf surface. Turf padding will not move, but infill can shift over time. Heavy foot traffic or play can move the infill because it can pile up or wear down where there is a stress point. Installing turf padding in addition to infill is the safest way to go.
Watersavers Turf has several types of turf padding, ideal for playgrounds and sports fields.

Turf Padding Reduces Injuries
A better “critical fall height” score means that there is less chance of serious injury. When you plan a synthetic turf field, you want to install a high-quality, durable lawn pad. Our lawn padding stays in place, absorbs shock, and adds safety to high traffic areas. Adding shock or lawn pads in addition to infill is what we recommend for sports and play areas.
