Enhanced Safety for Patients, Residents, and Staff
Safety is paramount in hospitals, rehab centers, and senior living facilities. ATS turf systems are engineered to create reliable, low-risk outdoor surfaces.
- Lead-Free & Non-Toxic: All ATS turf meets or exceeds EPA standards for heavy metals, providing a safe, non-toxic environment for vulnerable populations.
- PFAS-Safe Models: Turf options such as 50T, 69TS, 80TS, and ProPLAY Plus 90s are certified PFAS-safe.
- Antimicrobial Protection: When paired with Envirofill infill, turf surfaces gain antimicrobial defense and odor control—critical for healthcare settings where hygiene is essential. Envirofill also reduces surface heat by up to 25%.
- Slip-Resistant & Soft Underfoot: Turf blades offer a forgiving, low-slip surface that enhances safety around courtyards, patios, and therapy areas.
- Accessibility: Turf systems provide smooth, stable ground that supports ADA-compliant design, improving accessibility for wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility aids.
Durable Surfaces with Minimal Upkeep
Healthcare facilities, from doctors’ offices and dental practices to outpatient centers, rehab clinics, hospitals, and senior living communities, need reliable landscapes that stay presentable with little effort. ATS turf is engineered to perform in these high-demand environments while reducing ongoing maintenance.
- Built to Last: Made from high-quality polyethylene yarn with UV stabilizers, ATS turf resists fading, matting, and wear even in high-traffic or extreme weather conditions.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Eliminates mowing, watering, fertilizing, edging, and pest control—freeing up budgets and staff time for patient-focused priorities.
- Extended Lifespan: With minimal upkeep, ATS turf provides a 15–20 year life expectancy, far outlasting natural grass in public-use environments.
- High Capacity Use: Turf accommodates 8–12 times more activity than natural grass, ensuring courtyards, therapy gardens, and common areas stay beautiful and functional.
Clean, Dry, and Hygienic Outdoor Spaces
In medical settings, maintaining clean and safe environments extends beyond the building itself. ATS turf integrates TURBOFLO™ drainage technology, allowing up to 30 inches of water per hour to pass through the backing. This prevents puddling and ensures outdoor spaces remain usable shortly after rain.
- Antimicrobial Infill: Pairing turf with Envirofill infill provides antimicrobial protection, odor control, and cooler surface temperatures—critical for courtyards, therapy gardens, and areas where residents or visitors gather.
- Odor Resistance: Non-absorbing polyethylene fibers and fast-drain backing prevent lingering odors from spills, waste, or moisture.
- Easy to Clean: Dust, pollen, and leaves can be rinsed away with a hose. Solid waste is removed easily, and spills can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
- Consistently Hygienic Surface: Unlike natural grass, which can harbor pests and allergens, ATS turf provides a clean, controlled surface year-round.
Warranty Protection and Long-Term Value
Healthcare administrators and facility managers need investments that last. ATS backs its turf with warranties designed for peace of mind and proven financial return.
- 15-Year Standard Warranty on core models including 50T, 69TS, 80TS, and ProPLAY Plus 90s
- Optional 10-Year Extended Warranty for additional protection
- Manufacturer-Backed Guarantees covering durability, fiber integrity, and color retention over time
Proven ROI:
While artificial turf requires upfront investment, most facilities see it pay for itself in 3–5 years through reduced groundskeeping labor, lower water bills, and decreased equipment maintenance. Typical healthcare installations save 15,000–50,000 gallons of water annually per average lawn—aligning with sustainability goals while lowering operating costs.
