Playground Transformation: Shawgrass & C&C Turf at All Saints Episcopal School

Shawgrass, a prominent provider of synthetic turf solutions, has recently revitalized the playground of All Saints Episcopal School located in Fort Worth, Texas. The project included the installation of their exclusive Imagination Creativity turf system across more than 12,000 square feet, specifically tailored to foster engaging play experiences for young children. The collaboration with CC Turf, a trusted installation partner, ensured a seamless and efficient renovation.

Meeting High Standards for Safety

This installation was not only about aesthetics; it was grounded in safety and durability. The team at Shawgrass selected the Imagination Creativity turf in conjunction with a 2-inch Brock ShockPad. This combination achieves an outstanding 8-foot Critical Fall Height (CFH) rating, which is crucial for playground safety and minimizes potential injury risks during play. Additionally, the use of Envirofill, enhanced with Microban® technology, offers a further layer of health assurance by preventing bacterial growth in this highly frequented playground setting.

Cesar Carlos, the VP of Operations at CC Turf, emphasized the project's intention: “Our goal was to deliver a clean, cushioned, and long-lasting surface that not only meets safety standards, but enhances the everyday experience for students.” His praise extended to the Shawgrass team, indicating their professionalism and expertise played a significant role in selecting the ideal materials for this transformative project.

Project Details

The sizeable renovation included the installation of:

• - 12,000+ square feet of Shawgrass Imagination Creativity synthetic turf.
• - 20 pallets of Brock ShockPad for exceptional shock absorption.
• - 500+ bags of infill material to ensure optimal performance.
• - Over 100 tons of #57 Limestone Gravel and 70+ tons of Decomposed Granite for effective substrate preparation and drainage.

An essential challenge during this renovation was the removal of the outdated Poured-In-Place (PIP) rubber surface, previously embedded with crumb rubber infill. The complexity of this task required methodical execution, but the CC Turf team successfully advanced to install a modern synthetic turf system able to withstand rigorous use, further enhancing the allure of outdoor play.

Carlos noted the ongoing promise offered by the new system: “This new system will support the creativity, curiosity, and energy of All Saints students for years to come. It's a reliable, weather-resistant solution that aligns with the school's commitment to nurturing a vibrant and active community.”

A New Standard for Play Spaces

The culmination of this endeavor is a playground that not only looks inviting but has been professionally designed to elevate the outdoor experience for students, staff, and the community. Through their extensive expertise, CC Turf has proven themselves a reliable partner, having dedicated over 20 years to delivering excellence in both commercial and residential turf solutions.

With their unwavering commitment to quality and customer service, the CC Turf team has once again showcased their capability with this featured playground project. Adam Van Buren, Shawgrass Territory Manager, endorsed the Imagination Creativity turf as the optimal choice for playgrounds, proudly stating that it is certified by IPEMA and ADA to ensure leading safety standards and enduring durability.
