Oxford, Mississippi, Welcomes New Synthetic Grass Installation at Roundabout Oxford RV & Water Resort
Roundabout Oxford RV & Water Resort in Oxford, Mississippi, has recently unveiled a significant enhancement to its facilities with the installation of 18,000 square feet of state-of-the-art synthetic grass. Partnering with CLS Outdoor Services, the resort has transformed its water park area, creating a vibrant and family-friendly environment aimed at attracting visitors this summer.
Installation Details
The synthetic grass, known as Riviera Pro, is a product from Synthetic Grass Warehouse and has been specifically chosen for its multifaceted benefits. With a dual coloring of vibrant field green and lime green blade tones, along with added tan and green thatch, the installation not only improves the visual appeal of the space but also provides a durable surface ideal for both children and adults.
The pile height of the Riviera Pro grass is 1.75 inches, and it features a face weight of 70 ounces, making it suitable for moderate to heavy foot traffic. This is particularly important in a water park setting where high levels of daily activity are anticipated. The grass blade’s “M” shape and robust polyurethane backing further contribute to its longevity, ensuring that it can withstand repeated use.
Safety and Practical Benefits
Safety is a top priority for Roundabout Oxford RV & Water Resort, which is why the Riviera Pro grass is equipped with various beneficial features. The product is non-toxic and lead-free, ensuring a safe play environment for children. Notably, its drainage capability exceeds 30 inches of rain per hour per square yard, making it an efficient option for managing water runoff, an essential feature for a facility designed around water activities.
Moreover, Riviera Pro is durable thanks to its incorporation of UV inhibitors that combat color fading due to sunlight exposure. This attribute is vital, given Mississippi’s sunny climate and the need for outdoor spaces to maintain their aesthetic appeal throughout the seasons.
Challenges and Completion
Despite facing challenges during installation due to wet winter weather—which impacted sub-base compaction—CLS Outdoor Services successfully completed the project in time for the water park’s anticipated summer opening. This accomplishment underscores the expertise and commitment of CLS Outdoor Services, which has been providing commercial landscaping services since 1995 and has specialized in parks and playground installations since 2007.
Recognition and Company Background
CLS Outdoor Services has earned recognition within the industry, having completed projects in 42 states and internationally. Recently, the company was awarded Synthetic Grass Warehouse’s “Install of the Month” for July 2025. This accolade reflects their dedication to quality, integrity, and strong customer relationships, hallmarks that have defined the company’s operation since its inception.
With the recent installation of synthetic grass at Roundabout Oxford RV & Water Resort, the facility has taken a significant step to enhance guest experience, offering a safe, attractive landscape for family activities. As the resort prepares for a busy summer season, the impact of the new installation is set to be felt by guests of all ages.
