COLOURED ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION AT MOSS SIDE PRIMARY SCHOOL

At As Good As Grass, we were invited to Moss Side Primary School to replace an ageing rubber surface that had become slippery, moss-covered, and unsafe for pupils. The school wanted a safer alternative that was bright, low-maintenance, and suitable for all-weather play. Our Play Care Extreme artificial grass provided the perfect upgrade.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The school chose a vibrant blue-coloured artificial grass from our specialist education range, helping revitalise the space with a durable surface that’s safe underfoot. We installed approximately 200 linear metres of Play Care Extreme, including targeted areas designed to stop mud transfer from the adjacent field.

THE CHALLENGE

The existing rubber flooring had become dangerously slippery in wet weather, leading to slips and minor accidents. Moss growth made the problem worse, reducing grip and creating a maintenance burden for the school. They needed a solution that was safer, brighter, and reliable all year round.

OUR SOLUTION

We completed a surface-only installation using Play Care Extreme — a durable, non-abrasive grass designed specifically for busy school environments.

The school reviewed several colour options before choosing blue, creating a bright, engaging play space that pupils love.

To address the constant issue of mud transfer from the field, we added designated Play Care Extreme zones at key entry/exit points to provide a clean, safe transition area.

✅ 200 linear metres installed

✅ Replaced unsafe, slippery rubber surface

✅ Blue-coloured grass for a vibrant finish

✅ Play Care Extreme added to stop mud transfer

✅ Low-maintenance, all-weather surface

THE RESULTS

The upgrade dramatically improved safety and usability. The new surface offers better grip, better drainage, and zero moss retention — meaning pupils can enjoy the space every day without the slip hazards posed by the previous rubber flooring.

The vibrant blue colour has made the space more inviting, and the added Play Care Extreme pathways have eliminated the school’s long-standing “mud problem”.

✅ Safer surface with excellent grip

✅ No more moss, mess, or mud transfer

✅ Brighter, more engaging play environment

✅ Minimal maintenance required

“The difference has been huge — pupils are safer, the area looks fantastic, and the mud problem has finally gone.”
