Lawns for Families with Kids

A yard for tag, soccer and sprinklers needs to be soft, safe and tough enough to take a beating all summer.

Kids turn yards into stadiums, camps and water parks. They run the same paths, drag toys across the ground and skid to a stop in the same spot. A lawn for a family with kids has to be forgiving to knees and elbows and tough enough to recover from a long summer of play.

We look at what the kids do and design around it. A thick Bermuda or fescue lawn handles open play. A padded turf area under the swing set and slide keeps the muddy spot from forming and cushions falls. Drainage matters, because wet clay makes slippery slopes and tracked-in mud. We also talk about safe products, since children play on grass and want to roll in it, and we choose and schedule treatments with that in mind.
