What is the best material to put under a playset?

• <div>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 $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.</div>

What are the different types of basketball hoops available?

• <div>There are many different types of basketball hoops available to choose from. <ul><li>Portable hoops are fully moveable and generally do not require assistance with assembly. </li><li>Semi-portable in-ground hoops have an anchor cemented in the ground and a removable post.</li><li>In-ground hoops are fully built into the ground as one piece and cannot be relocated after placement. </li><li>Wall-mounted hoops do not have a post or pole and work well when space is limited. </li></ul></div>

Q: Can I install a playground myself?

• <div>It&rsquo;s usually possible to install a playground yourself, but we don&rsquo;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&rsquo;s relatively inexpensive to hire a professional playground installer, and it&rsquo;s usually worth the investment, if only for the peace of mind it provides.</div>

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

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

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

• <div>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.</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.
