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: Is it less expensive to build your own swing set?

• <div><p>Material markup costs and labor expenses are the additional primary costs of hiring a playground installer over building your own set. Labor costs are typically less costly than some more specialized home improvement projects. DIY swing set construction is less expensive than professional installation but will take considerably more time and effort to perform.</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: Are backyard playsets worth it?

• <div><p>Choosing a suitable backyard playset that&rsquo;s age-appropriate and entertaining for your children is worth the cost. A backyard playset you can update and upgrade as your kids grow offers even more benefits. Although a playset won&rsquo;t substantially increase your home&rsquo;s value, it won&rsquo;t negatively affect it either.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit for a playground?

• <div><p>Whether or not you need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a> for a playground depends on where you live. Some municipalities will require a permit for the construction of any playground equipment while others will only mandate one if you use a concrete foundation for any portion of the equipment. You can check with your local building department or a professional playground installer to see if your project requires a permit. Some municipalities also require a fence if you have a playground, and fence construction will almost always require a building permit.</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.

"Blake did an excellent and thorough job. We had a leak that he diagnosed and fixed which ended up being a roof issue. He repaired some exterior window framing and also installed new tile floors. He is very detail oriented and his work is impeccable. I have already referred him to neighbors and will definitely use him again."
