Shock Pad and Fall-Protection Turf
A shock-absorbing pad under the turf adds cushion and consistency where people fall, run and train. We choose the pad and base for your use, install them flat and joined, and finish with turf that sits tight on top.

Questions
Common questions
How thick should the pad be?
It depends on the equipment height and use. We recommend a thickness and refer you to the maker's guidance for fall heights.
Does the pad change how the turf looks?
No. The turf sits on top and looks the same, but feels softer underfoot.
Can a pad go over concrete?
Yes, with the right adhesive or underlayment and a drainage plan.
