Schools and Universities

Schools and universities across Chicago prefer athletic fields with artificial turf as a more practical and sustainable alternative to natural grass. Synthetic turf has low maintenance costs, and even with heavy utilization, the turf remains green and usable.

Benefits

Durable, All-Day Play Surface

Synlawn turf withstands heavy usage—PE classes, recess, sports practices, campus events—without wearing down. It stays lush and safe through continuous use, avoiding mud, bare spots, and interruptions due to weather.

Enhanced Safety & Injury Prevention

Featuring shock-absorbing padding beneath the surface, the turf reduces impact from falls, helping prevent injuries during sports or playground activities—giving schools confidence in their athletic and play zones.

Budget-Friendly & Minimal Upkeep

Say goodbye to mowing, irrigation, fertilization, and patch repairs. Synthetic turf cuts maintenance costs and labor demands, allowing school facilities teams to focus resources elsewhere—without sacrificing campus appearance.

Versatility for Learning & Community Events

Lightweight, quick-draining, and low-odor, this turf supports everything from team sports and outdoor classrooms to graduation ceremonies and community fairs. It ensures multi-use flexibility and showcase-ready grounds all year round.

Put Safety First: SYNLawn Delivers Unmatched Fire Protection

On school grounds and university campuses, safety is non-negotiable. SYNLawn’s ASTM E108 Class A fire rating—earned through eight rigorous fire safety tests—makes it a smart choice for rooftops, playgrounds, and outdoor student areas, providing reliable protection in high-traffic environments.

Prioritize Cleanliness: SYNLawn’s Super Yarn Delivers Triple Protection

Educational spaces require turf that’s safe, clean, and tough. Super Yarn™ combines three key technologies: Sanitized® for antimicrobial defense, DualChill™ to keep surfaces cooler in the sun, and StatBlock™ to reduce static. The result is a hygienic, comfortable surface that supports active learning, sports, and student life all year round.

Year-Round Green Spaces for Sports and Athletic Events

Chicagoland’s cold, windy, and wet winter weather conditions are not ideal for maintaining natural grass. With artificial grass, schools can avoid the need for downtime and postponing events while the grass grows back. Switching to synthetic turf solutions from SYNLawn ensures extended playing seasons complete with a low risk of injuries from impacts. 

Suitable for All School and University Events

Sports fields for soccer, football, lacrosse, and athletics can all be organized using SYNLawn. Holding school events and building open lawns for activities at any time of the year can be quickly done with artificial turf.

Eco-Friendly and Low-Maintenance

Schools and universities can avoid the cost of high water bills while encouraging eco-friendly practices. Synthetic grass does not need watering or using chemical pesticides, weed killers, and fertilizers to keep them healthy. That’s how schools avoid the possibility of toxins leaching into the ground and damaging the soil. Further, artificial turf does not need oil and fuel-powered equipment for maintenance which makes it far more eco-friendly as compared to natural grass.
