Natural grass can be bumpy and uneven, especially when exposed to heavy wear and tear, harsh weather conditions, or hole-digging pests. Holes, divots, and excess debris can cause a trip hazard for persons with physical disabilities, causing great harm.
Thankfully, artificial grass makes these physical hazards a thing of the past. Synthetic grass is designed to be consistently flat and supported by solid infill and turf backing, resulting in increased mobility and a safe outdoor environment. Persons with physical disabilities can work with the installation experts at Grizzly Turf to decide on an artificial turf product with a short pile length to maximize accessibility.
SYNTHETIC TURF SUITABLE FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS
If a wheelchair user sees a natural grass surface, they will not travel smoothly across to get to their desired point. Soft terrain and wet ground can pose a grave threat to the wheelchair user’s safety, and play areas with bark hinder parents who use wheelchairs from playing with their children.
Artificial turf is built to withstand all weather conditions, meaning wheelchair users will feel safe as they travel across the synthetic grass landscape. The outstanding drainage found in Grizzly Turf’s artificial grass products reduces the amount of water natural grass would otherwise retain; this results in wheelchair users not worrying about dips and slips!
