Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation. Yaki means to heat with fire, and sugi is cypress.[1][2] It is referred to in the West as burnt timber cladding and also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板) which uses the same kanji characters but an incorrect pronunciation. The ban character means "plank". By slightly charring the surface of the wood without combusting the whole piece, the wood becomes water-proof through the carbonisation and is thus more durable.[3][4] It also protects against insects, as well as making the wood fire retardant.[5] - Wikipedia

Short Line Elementary School installed 3,660 square feet of Playground Grass® Ultra in 2016 on their new kindergarten playground and have enjoyed the cleanliness ever since. Every time it rains they are reminded of the convenience of a drainable surface that doesn’t get muddy and dirty. When the school added new playground equipment in 2017, ForeverLawn of Ohio returned to install more of the artificial grass they have loved so much the past couple of years—Playground Grass® Ultra.
