How much does it cost to build a playground?

• <div><p>The cost of the materials to build a DIY playground will run you about <b>$700 to $1,000</b>, which could vary based on the type of lumber you choose to use. On the other hand, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swing-set-cost.htm">buying a pre-made playset costs</a><b> $1,000 to $6,500</b> or more, and if you choose to have it professionally installed, you’ll pay an additional <b>$330 to $700</b>.</p></div>

What is the best material to put under a playset?

• <div><p>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. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-pros-and-cons-rubber-mulch.htm">Rubber mulch</a> is slightly more expensive than other common options at <b>$120 per cubic yard</b> on average, whereas pine bark mulch is <b>$30 per cubic yard.</b> 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.</p></div>

Q: Should I build my own swing set?

• <div><p>It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren&rsquo;t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Will my playground installer put down a playground surface, too?

• <div><p>In most cases, your professional playground installer will put down a playground surface before assembling the fun-filled system. However, you should ask your installer about this service before booking an installment date. Most playground equipment installation companies offer service add-ons like leveling the area, laying down a surface, building a border to keep the surface material contained, and setting up the swing set.</p></div>

Q: What materials are used for outdoor play equipment?

• <div><p>Wood, metal, and plastic are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.</p></div>

"Our home required rotten wood to be replaced in a number of areas that were exposed to water runoff from poorly installed gutters. Heath did an initial assessment of the work required but advised it could change once he got behind the rotten boards to see the extent of the damage. Of course there were more replacements needed and the price went up but in the end he and his team did a great job getting the work completed. Would definitely hire H&H again in the future."
