"It was the greatest pleasure to deal with Tino and Swingset Service. Tino responded to my inquiry promptly and professionally. He listened carefully to our needs and was able to deal with all items we needed done to repair and refurbish our 25+ year old Swing Set. Tino was able to give us a quote, which was very reasonable, from the information we provided. We were able to set up an appointment ( after we had sent photos of our set ) in a reasonable amount of time. Tino arrived promptly when scheduled. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and is 100% reliable. We now have what looks like a brand new swing set! I would highly recommend Swingset Service."

"Russel Huber is very efficient and diligent about the work he performs. He was prompt and extremely hard working. Our swing set looks great. I am so happy with the job that he did. My son who is 3 years old had to be literally dragged into the house the past two nights that he's had the swing set. I am extremely glad that I went on the Internet for help and found Russel Huber. Thank you for a job well done. It's hard to find honest, hard working people, but I found one."

Playground Equipment questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a playground is around $500, with most homeowners spending between $150 and $1,200 on installation labor. The total project cost can range from $500 to $2,500. These prices typically do not include the playground equipment itself, which can cost an additional $100 to $1,500.

Several factors influence the final installation cost:

  • Playset Details: The type, size, material, design complexity, and number of accessories.

  • Site Preparation: Costs may increase if the land needs to be leveled.

  • Yard Accessibility: Difficult access for installers can raise labor costs.

  • Customization: Custom-built playgrounds are more expensive to install than premade kits.

  • Permits: Local permitting fees may apply.

Additionally, remember to budget for playground surfacing, which can cost $15 to $160 per cubic yard, or up to $225 per cubic yard for poured rubber.

It’s usually possible to install a playground yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Playground construction can be complicated and involves moving large, heavy, and bulky components into place while you affix them to other pieces. Not only is the work physically demanding, but any mistakes could reduce the lifespan of your playground and potentially put any children who use the equipment at risk of injury. It’s relatively inexpensive to hire a professional playground installer, and it’s usually worth the investment, if only for the peace of mind it provides.

The cost of the materials to build a DIY playground will run you about $700 to $1,000, which could vary based on the type of lumber you choose to use. On the other hand, buying a pre-made playset costs $1,000 to $6,500 or more, and if you choose to have it professionally installed, you’ll pay an additional $330 to $700.

Yes! It’s always a good idea to anchor your playset. Even though they’re heavy, it doesn’t take much wind to blow one over. Anchoring everything to the ground makes it a lot safer for your kiddos.

The average lifespan for a playset is around eight to ten years, but you can probably make it last to 15 years with good weather conditions and proper maintenance. If you’re purchasing a pre-made playset, some brands offer warranties for up to 25 years—long after your kiddos are grown.
