On a budget?
We also install mulch playgrounds for backyards: 12 inches of cedar, colored or rubber mulch with 12-inch borders and ADA access. It costs a lot less than turf or PIP, but mulch needs to be replaced and renewed every few years. See the mulch install process.
How we install backyard playgrounds, step by step
Site visit
- We measure the play area and review your equipment and fall heights.
6-inch demo
- We dig out 6 inches of the existing surface, whether it's mulch, sand, grass or old turf, and haul it away.
4-inch compacted base
- We install a required 4-inch base of aggregate or 1/2-inch grade crushed granite.
- The base is compacted and shaped so the play area drains well and stays level.
2-inch safety pad
- A 2-inch ASTM/IPEMA certified safety pad goes down over the base to cushion falls.
Turf and seams
- Playground turf is rolled out over the pad, cut to fit around equipment and seamed tight.
Tuck and nail the edges
- Every edge is tucked and nailed. Backed by our 10-year edge and seam warranty.
2 lbs of infill per sq ft
- The turf is properly infilled with 2 lbs of infill per square foot and brushed so the blades stand up.
