The residents of Bloomfield hosted bake sales, car washes and other forms of fundraising for three years to give Friendship Play Park a new play surface.<\/p> <p>\u201cThe park originally had poured-in place rubber surfacing which had expanded and cracked over the years due to the weather in Pennsylvania,\u201d said Steve Cianflone, owner of Sunshine Surfacing, a local artificial grass installation company. \u201cArtificial grass is a great alternative because it looks great and stays in place no matter the weather, all 365 days a year.\u201d Cianflone used\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sgwflorida.com\/orlando\/products\/everlast-products\/tacoma-series\/\">Everlast Tacoma Light<\/a>\u00a0found exclusively through Synthetic Grass Warehouse (SGW) because of its durability and plush appearance. The 4200 sq. ft. artificial grass conversion with was installed over the span of four days with three different teams. \u201cWe had a glue team, an install team and a cut and seaming team,\u201d Cianflone said. \u201cThere were 130 inserts that needed to be cut around on the 10-yr-old play structure.\u201d<\/p> <p>Sunshine Surfacing has been installing artificial turf for over 10 years, with nearly 85 percent of their business being playgrounds. Cianflone said that he has encountered parents that have voiced safety concerns when it comes to artificial grass installation. \u201cI explain that it isn\u2019t the turf \u2013 it\u2019s the infill, in particular rubber infill that is made from used tires which contain petroleum,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have never used that type of infill \u2013 it\u2019s just common sense.\u201d He says there are many infill alternatives including the silica sand they use. He also suggests that parents ask to see the lead free certificates before an artificial grass installation provided by companies like Synthetic Grass Warehouse and to find an experienced installer. \u201cWe\u2019ve done over three thousand installs in Pennsylvania alone,\u201d he said. \u201cOur jobs come from word of mouth and we are very proud of that.\u201d Visit sunshinesurfacing.com or like their page on Facebook for additional project information.<\/p> <p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3704\" src=\"https:\/\/sgwflorida.com\/orlando\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/sunshine-turf.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p> <div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-span-no fusion-has-button-gradient special_anim-btn\" style=\"--button_accent_color:#000000;--button_accent_hover_color:#ffffff;--button_border_hover_color:#000000;--button_border_width-top:1px;--button_border_width-right:1px;--button_border_width-bottom:1px;--button_border_width-left:1px;--button_gradient_top_color:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_top_color_hover:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color_hover:rgba(0,0,0,0);--button_text_transform:uppercase;--button_font_size:20px;--button_padding-top:16px;--button_padding-right:30px;--button_padding-bottom:16px;--button_padding-left:30px;--button_margin-top:30px;--button_margin-right:12px;\" target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/syntheticgrasswarehouse.com\/company\/blog\/install-of-the-month\/install-of-the-month-photo-submission\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-icon-divider button-icon-divider-left\"><i class=\"fa-angle-double-right fas awb-button__icon awb-button__icon--default\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default fusion-button-text-left\">Submit Your Photos<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One community in Pennsylvania came together to give their community  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-install-of-the-month"],"acf":{"ask_jw_page_link":"","global_photo_sets":"","section_1":{"header":"","textblock":""},"section_2":{"textblock":""},"section_3":{"header":"","textblock":""},"section_4":{"textblock":""},"section_5":{"header":"","textblock":""},"warranty":{"textblock":""},"section_6":{"header":"","textblock":""},"video_link":"","transcript":"","video_link_proof":"","transcript_proof":""},"origin_id":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
