What is the best material to put under a playset?

• <div><p>Rubber mulch is widely considered the best material to place under a playset. This material option provides more cushioning than traditional wood mulch for added protection, remains cooler than sand and most other materials in direct sunlight, and it’s low maintenance. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-pros-and-cons-rubber-mulch.htm">Rubber mulch</a> is slightly more expensive than other common options at <b>$120 per cubic yard</b> on average, whereas pine bark mulch is <b>$30 per cubic yard.</b> But when it comes to your children’s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.</p></div>

Which artificial turf is more durable?

• <div><p>For artificial turf that’s the most durable, look for heat-resistant products with thicker blades. Keep in mind that there’s a difference between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/artificial-grass-vs-turf.htm">artificial grass versus artificial turf</a>, with turf consisting of a shorter look while artificial grass is longer and more closely resembles real grass.</p></div>

Q: Should I build my own swing set?

• <div><p>It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren&rsquo;t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won&rsquo;t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a playground?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swing-set-cost.htm#">Playground installation costs</a> around <b>$500</b> on average, which doesn&rsquo;t include the cost of the playground itself. Most homeowners spend between <b>$150 and $1,200</b> on the labor to install a playground, plus between <b>$100 and $1,500 </b>on the playground equipment. The cost of professional installation depends on a few different factors:</p><ul><li><p>Type and size of the playground </p></li><li><p>Whether or not you need land leveling before installation</p></li><li><p>Accessibility of your yard</p></li><li><p>Whether you buy a premade playground or a custom one</p></li><li><p>Local permitting costs, if necessary</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to build your own swing set?

• <div><p>Material markup costs and labor expenses are the additional primary costs of hiring a playground installer over building your own set. Labor costs are typically less costly than some more specialized home improvement projects. DIY swing set construction is less expensive than professional installation but will take considerably more time and effort to perform.</p></div>

Q: Which artificial turf is more durable?

• <div><p>For artificial turf that&rsquo;s the most durable, look for heat-resistant products with thicker blades. Keep in mind that there&rsquo;s a difference between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/artificial-grass-vs-turf.htm">artificial grass versus artificial turf</a>, with turf consisting of a shorter look while artificial grass is longer and more closely resembles real grass.</p></div>

These guys didn't show up with a pickup and a few chain saws...4 big trucks and other required equipment arrived. They came prepared for the job. They laid down fiberglass mats to protect the drive and yard...no damage. They picked up all rubbish left over from the downed trees.
