"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

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.

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.

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. Rubber mulch is slightly more expensive than other common options at $120 per cubic yard on average, whereas pine bark mulch is $30 per cubic yard. 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.

In most cases, yes, an outdoor living space adds value to your home. The trick to your best return on investment is to choose high-quality building materials that will look nice and durable without crossing the line into total luxury that becomes cost-ineffective. For example, there’s no need to install marble tiles around your pool, but a durable and aesthetically pleasing deck will go a long way.

Wood, metal, and plastic are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.
