I have ten years in facilities maintenance working with electrical and plumbing and basic maintenance around a warehouse. This includes changing outlets and wiring motors on conveyors to working on sinks and to changing lightbulbs. Before that I worked on cars and fixed everything around the house helping family and friends with their needs around the house.

"Brian was my handyman and is now my favorite handyman! Lol. He is a nice, sweet and efficient builder. He got my bed built in like 2 1/2 hours. I was so happy. I would definitely recommend these guys. I know this isn’t a good picture of my bed, but I wouldn’t even have a picture if it wasn’t for Brian. THANK YOU, BRIAN!!!!"

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.

You can start by finding playground installers in your area that have amassed mostly positive reviews online. Next, search for the companies on the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if any consumer complaints have been filed. Once you rule out companies with poor reviews and a history of complaints, contact the remaining options and ask the following questions to find the right installer for you:

  • Will you pull permits if required?

  • Do you offer a warranty?

  • How long do you expect the installation to take?

  • Do you have experience working with the specific playground material I want?

Whether or not you need a building permit for a playground depends on where you live. Some municipalities will require a permit for the construction of any playground equipment while others will only mandate one if you use a concrete foundation for any portion of the equipment. You can check with your local building department or a professional playground installer to see if your project requires a permit. Some municipalities also require a fence if you have a playground, and fence construction will almost always require a building permit.

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

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.
