Bring Adventure to Your Own Backyard

A backyard play area is where childhood memories are made. It gives your children a safe place to play, burn off that excess energy, and exercise their imagination every day. It’s also a way for the entire family to spend time together outside, and everyone gets their own space. The adults can mingle and hang out on the patio or around the firepit, while the kids have a separate place to play, but within eyesight. 

Our role at Summit Scapes is to make sure that your backyard is ready for that play area. We focus on proper grading, leveling, and ground preparation so that your new playset has a safe, stable surface to sit on. Without our professional backyard play area preparation services, even the best playset can shift or sit unevenly. 

Our Play Area Preparation Process

Step 01

CONSULTATION:

During the initial consultation, we’ll inspect your backyard, take measurements of the designated play area, and assess the site. Within 1-2 days, you’ll receive a detailed quote with the contract, pricing breakdown, and project plan.

Step 02

SITE PREPARATION

Our team will grade and level the ground to create a stable, even surface for the playset. Then we add a strong stone base, so that the play structure is secured and won’t shift over time.

Step 03

AFTER INSTALLATION

Once the structure has been placed, we fill the area with rubber mulch or whichever type of mulch you choose. We build the border with wood, stone, or rubber timbers, based on your preference.

Step 04

FINAL CHECK

Safety comes first, so once the installation is complete, we do a full inspection to confirm the structure is secure and stable and ready for play.

frequently asked questions

Do you need HOA approval for a playset?

If your home is part of an HOA, it’s important to refer to your HOA guidelines or speak to a representative to make sure there are no restrictions on the size, placement, or materials for your play structure.

What should I put under a backyard play structure?

The area has to first be graded so that it’s completely level, then we add a strong stone base so that the play structure is secured and won’t shift over time. Once the structure has been placed, we usually fill the area with rubber mulch or whichever type of mulch you choose. We build the border with either wood or stone, based on your preference, or even rubber timbers to line the area.

Do you install the playground equipment?

Our team doesn’t handle the actual playground equipment; we handle the play area setup, including all the landscaping and area preparation.

How much space do I need for a backyard play structure?

The amount of space needed will depend on the kind of structure you purchased. For safety purposes, it is recommended that you allow extra clearance around swings, slides, and any climbing structures so the kids can play safely.
