"We are so happy with everything Brandon and his team have done for our property. We originally hired him for mowing, but because his prices were so reasonable, we decided to take him up on a full overhaul of our entire landscaping, which was a huge undertaking. We have several large flower beds that were overgrown with weeds, tons of dead tree branches and limbs that needed to come down, and many other overgrown areas. He went above and beyond on everything, and truly brought our patio, landscaping areas, and multiple walkways back to life. We feel so much better looking out our windows to our beautiful yard and we have Brandon and his hardworking team to thank for that. The first time we called him, he had someone here mowing with 25 minutes of hanging up the phone. He shows up when he says he will show up, works until everything is done, and never tried charging extra for anything, even when encountering larger problems than anticipated. Just an overall very honest and hardworking crew. We plan to retain Private and Professional Lawn Care for regular maintenance and will utilize them for all of our fall/spring clean up and other landscaping needs. Thank you so much, Brandon!"

"I am beyond happy with Xavier’s work!! The finished product exceeded my expectations. My home looks brand new. Xavier responds to texts in a timely manner, shows up on time and cleans up afterwards. He also has a fair price point. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again!"

Playground Equipment FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, yes, an outdoor living space adds value to your home. The trick to your best return on investment is to choose high-quality building materials that will look nice and durable without crossing the line into total luxury that becomes cost-ineffective. For example, there’s no need to install marble tiles around your pool, but a durable and aesthetically pleasing deck will go a long way.

Children can become interested in playset activities as young as two years old, and many start to lose interest between ages nine and 12. Backyard playsets can grow and adapt as the children age and playtime interests change.

It’s usually possible to install a playground yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Playground construction can be complicated and involves moving large, heavy, and bulky components into place while you affix them to other pieces. Not only is the work physically demanding, but any mistakes could reduce the lifespan of your playground and potentially put any children who use the equipment at risk of injury. It’s relatively inexpensive to hire a professional playground installer, and it’s usually worth the investment, if only for the peace of mind it provides.

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?
