Trampoline on the Lawn: How to Protect Your Lawn from Damage

A trampoline in the yard is a lot of fun, but it can take a heavy toll on the lawn beneath it. With a few simple steps, you can significantly reduce pressure marks, bare patches, and soil compaction.

1. Move the trampoline around regularly

To prevent the lawn from being permanently damaged in one spot, you should move the trampoline to a different location regularly. This will distribute the wear more evenly across the area.

Be sure to carry or pull the trampoline carefully to avoid creating shear forces that could damage the turf. Of course, this assumes that the lawn is already well-established and stable.

2. Reduce the load on the feet

The most severe damage is usually caused by localized stress on the support feet.

• Place rounded plates or suitable supports under the feet

• This results in a better distribution of weight

• The ground becomes less compacted, and your feet don't sink in

This way, the lawn stays much healthier, even with frequent use.
