"These guys are great. Very professional and nice guys. My stairs were a nightmare for over ten years. They were too steep with 6 steps, so they extended to 8 steps and bulked it up. I can't rave enough. They're all work and know what they're doing. I have many more projects I'll be requesting they do. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed."

"PJ Construction was wonderful to work with and did exceptional work in my home.  Paul always arrived on time, worked diligently and answered all of my questions about the projects.  He even did a great job of cleaning up all of that drywall dust!  If it weren't for the noise from the equipment, I wouldn't have even know they were there!  They did a great job on our projects and I will definitely be using PJ Construction again in the future."

"Sam is a skilled plumber, electrician, installs kitchen cabinets, drywall, framing, and can repair just about anything. Truly "handy" because his hours are 7 AM to 7 PM, weekends if need be and an occasional holiday if an emergency arises. He works with other professionals so no project is too big, or too little."

Playground Equipment questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
