Play mounds, green again and built to last.

The playground at United World College is built around sculpted mounds with a tube slide and crawl tunnels running through them. Years of climbing had worn the old turf on those 3D forms back to bare concrete. We re-clad the mounds in premium Namgrass, contoured tight over every curve, so the play landscape looks freshly grassed and takes the daily crowd in its stride.

The result

Sculpted mounds, crisply re-turfed.

Premium Namgrass hugs every slope and tunnel mouth, giving the play mounds a clean, even green that stands up to constant climbing, sliding and crawling.

The brief

Re-skin the play mounds, tight to the curves.

The mounds are a favourite feature, but the turf covering their steep, curved faces had worn thin and lifted at the edges, exposing the concrete beneath. Stripped back, they were grey and unwelcoming.

Re-turfing a compound-curved 3D form is exacting work. Premium Namgrass was cut and fitted tight over every slope and around each tunnel mouth, so the surface reads as one smooth green skin with no lifting seams for little hands to catch.

  • Worn turf stripped from the mounds and slide run-outs.
  • Premium Namgrass contoured tight over the curved 3D forms.
  • Neatly finished around the tunnel mouths and the tube-slide exits.
  • Seams kept flush and secure, safe for constant climbing and sliding.
Around the playground

From worn concrete to a green play landscape.

Slides, tunnels and mounds tie together in one continuous green surface, a world away from the tired, lifting turf they replaced.

Why artificial grass on play mounds

Green that takes a daily beating.

Grips curved forms

Cut and fitted to compound 3D curves, the turf lies smooth over mounds and slopes where rolled sod or loose fill would never stay put.

Takes constant climbing

Where the old turf wore through under daily play, Namgrass keeps its pile and colour through years of scrambling, sliding and crawling.

Safe, soft and quick-drying

A soft surface over the mounds with flush, secure seams, and it drains fast so play carries on soon after rain.
