"Replaced shower stall door. Caulking on the bottom of the door frame was not done correctly, had to redo it myself. Replaced a bathroom light fixture and that was not done correctly either. It was very loose. I would not recommend this contractor. "

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.

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.

Playground installation costs around $500 on average, which doesn’t include the cost of the playground itself. Most homeowners spend between $150 and $1,200 on the labor to install a playground, plus between $100 and $1,500 on the playground equipment. The cost of professional installation depends on a few different factors:

  • Type and size of the playground 

  • Whether or not you need land leveling before installation

  • Accessibility of your yard

  • Whether you buy a premade playground or a custom one

  • Local permitting costs, if necessary

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.

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.
