Q: 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.</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>

Q: What age are backyard playgrounds for?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: 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&mdash;if you don&rsquo;t want to give up your weekend, it&rsquo;s worth considering buying instead of building.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>The cost of the materials to build a DIY playground will run you about <b>$700 to $1,000</b>, which could vary based on the type of lumber you choose to use.

Chad was really nice. He gave his bid in advance without seeing the house and kept too it after seeing the house. They came out, gave treats to my puppy, and worked around us in the house. They got it done, cleaned up after themselves and I was quite pleased.
