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

• <div><p>The cost of the materials to build a DIY playground will run you about <b>$700 to $1,000</b>, which could vary based on the type of lumber you choose to use. On the other hand, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swing-set-cost.htm">buying a pre-made playset costs</a><b> $1,000 to $6,500</b> or more, and if you choose to have it professionally installed, you&rsquo;ll pay an additional <b>$330 to $700</b>.</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: How do I find a good playground installer?

• <div><p>You can start by finding playground installers in your area that have amassed mostly positive reviews online. Next, search for the companies on the Better Business Bureau&rsquo;s (BBB) website to see if any consumer complaints have been filed. Once you rule out companies with poor reviews and a history of complaints, contact the remaining options and ask the following questions to find the right installer for you:</p><ul><li><p>Will you pull permits if required?</p></li><li><p>Do you offer a warranty?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the installation to take?</p></li><li><p>Do you have experience working with the specific playground material I want?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Will my playground installer put down a playground surface, too?

• <div><p>In most cases, your professional playground installer will put down a playground surface before assembling the fun-filled system. However, you should ask your installer about this service before booking an installment date. Most playground equipment installation companies offer service add-ons like leveling the area, laying down a surface, building a border to keep the surface material contained, and setting up the swing set.</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>

Rene was very good about communicating and engaging in a dialogue about the scope of the work, how long it would take, the price (his bid was the lowest). His worker showed up on time, brought all the necessary equipment. Rene came at the end to check out the work and take his equipment back....

They were prompt, efficient, and very knowledgable about paint and equipment. I chose the colors, bud Tod had very good sense about how to use the colors. They were pleasant to work with. They cleaned up after themselves, and I would definitely hire them again.

The workers came on time, were very careful in setting up and did excellent work. They were the most polite workers I have ever met and were careful about protecting our wood floor when bringing in equipment. Ask for Angel to do the work on your house -- he is really experienced and nice.
