Testimonials
I can thoroughly recommend the professionalism, quality and easy process to change over our multipurpose turf. Andrew and the entire team were friendly, accommodating, prompt and detail oriented. The job was completed very quickly despite rain, and I would highly recommend! I also loved the product is Australian made.
Doncaster Primary School
Croydon Hills Primary School has used Easy Turf for two projects in the last six months. Firstly, for a synthetic sports field, and the near completed under surface to our Ninja Warrior playground. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of surfaces and their service. The team organised their own trades for specific work and seamlessly worked in with our trades and staff. Nothing was too hard for Andrew as we worked together through any variations or issues. Check out their work on Google maps as they update or pop out for a site visit.
Highly recommend!

Ormond Primary School
“In collaboration with Easy Turf, we were able to design each aspect of the project to suit our requirements. The addition of this facility to our school has dramatically changed the dynamic of our PE classes, helping to engage students of all ages in practical classes in an outdoor environment. We no longer have insufficient sporting surfaces to play on, but a much safer playing environment for our students to learn on.”
Mark Spitiri
“We have used Easy Turf for a number of projects both large and small and have found the team to be easy to work with, professional and very competent in their trade. Both the products used and the workmanship are of a high standard surpassed only by their after sales service. All the projects come in on price along with the quality and timing. I have no reservations in recommending Andrew and the team.”

Frequently Asked Questions For Education Facilities
Is artificial turf safe for school playgrounds?
Yes, artificial turf is a fantastic option for school playgrounds. It creates a soft, clean, and inviting space where kids can run, play, and explore with confidence. Modern playground turf systems include cushioned underlays that help absorb impact from falls, while the surface stays even, mud-free, and usable all year round. Many schools and early learning centres love artificial turf because it looks great, is low maintenance, and keeps play areas safer and more enjoyable for students every day.
What is the best artificial turf for schools and playgrounds?
Every school space has different needs, so the right turf depends on how the area is used. Playground zones are best with soft, cushioned turf to support safe play. High-traffic sports or PE areas require durable turf that can handle running, jumping, and constant activity. Thoughtful planning ensures your school yard is not only practical and long-lasting, but also a space where students can thrive.
Do schools need soft fall under artificial turf?
Soft fall under artificial turf isn’t always required, but it’s highly recommended in areas where children play or climb. Playground zones, climbing frames, and casual activity spaces benefit from a cushioned surface it helps reduce impact from falls and keeps kids safe while they play. In sports fields, running tracks, or high-traffic zones, soft fall isn’t usually necessary, as these areas need a tougher turf designed for durability and performance. By matching the surface to how students actually use each space, schools can create areas that are both safe and long-lasting
How long does artificial turf last in high-traffic school areas?
Artificial turf in high-traffic school areas is designed to be tough and long-lasting. With quality materials and proper installation, it can handle years of running, jumping, and daily activity without losing its look or performance. Exact lifespan depends on factors like the level of use, maintenance, and climate, but well-planned turf can provide a durable, low-maintenance solution for playgrounds, sports fields, and PE zones keeping your school yard looking great day after day.
Is artificial turf suitable for multi-sport school fields?

With careful planning, a multi-sport turf field can be a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution for your school.
What maintenance is required for artificial turf at schools?

High-traffic areas may need extra attention to stay even and safe. That’s why we recommend having Easy Turf Australia come in for a professional maintenance service every 6–12 months.
