Q: Is it more affordable to build a playground or buy one?

• <div><p>Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How long will my playground equipment last?

• <div><p>The average lifespan for a playset is around <b>eight to ten years</b>, but you can probably make it last <b>to 15 years</b> with good weather conditions and proper maintenance. If you&rsquo;re purchasing a pre-made playset, some brands offer warranties for <b>up to 25 years</b>&mdash;long after your kiddos are grown.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a playground?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swing-set-cost.htm#">Playground installation costs</a> around <b>$500</b> on average, which doesn&rsquo;t include the cost of the playground itself. Most homeowners spend between <b>$150 and $1,200</b> on the labor to install a playground, plus between <b>$100 and $1,500 </b>on the playground equipment. The cost of professional installation depends on a few different factors:</p><ul><li><p>Type and size of the playground </p></li><li><p>Whether or not you need land leveling before installation</p></li><li><p>Accessibility of your yard</p></li><li><p>Whether you buy a premade playground or a custom one</p></li><li><p>Local permitting costs, if necessary</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Despite having to deal with some equipment issues, Tim was extremely prompt and responsible in completing the job he had committed to do. I would highly recommend this company. My deck looks beautiful, including the outdoor furniture which was covered in green moss!

They had to remove part of a fence to get their equipment on the property, but restored the fence to its original condition upon completion of the job. The work was difficult but they accomplished it within two days. I intend to hire Pell for additional lawn work in the spring.

George Lowther was very helpful. The parts came quickly. There was a problem with it initially as one of the belts was wrong one, but they exchanged it and we had the right one the next day. We've used them many times before to repair equipment and were always satisfied.
