"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

Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The average cost to build a swing set is $514, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.

It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’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.

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.

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.

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 artificial grass versus artificial turf, with turf consisting of a shorter look while artificial grass is longer and more closely resembles real grass.
