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>

Is it cheaper to build or buy a swing set?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swing-set-cost.htm">average cost to build a swing set</a> is <b>$514</b>, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.</p></div>

Which artificial turf is more durable?

• <div><p>For artificial turf that’s the most durable, look for heat-resistant products with thicker blades. Keep in mind that there’s a difference between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/artificial-grass-vs-turf.htm">artificial grass versus artificial turf</a>, with turf consisting of a shorter look while artificial grass is longer and more closely resembles real grass.</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: 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>

Just great. The installer completed the kitchen work first so as not to get outside dirt inside. I love having pure drinking water inset his old house. The exterior work went smoothly as well. He paid attention to my desire to have the equipment hidden and not in view through a window.

Billy Honea was great to work with and his expertise was invaluable in determining exactly what equipment we needed and what ductwork modifications were needed to solve heating and cooling issues we had lived with for years with the old systems. The installation crew was top notch as well.

They were very helpful. I had some equipment and he said I could already use some of the stuff I had. I went to pick up a half gallon of stuff there and they were more helpful than anyone else. Short of coming out to do it for me, they were very helpful. I would use them again.
