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 outdoor firepit, while the kids have a separate place to play, but within eyesight. Our focus at Summit Scapes is to make sure that every structure is properly and safely installed so you, and the kids, never have to worry.

Types of Backyard Play Structures

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all when it comes to your outdoor space. Every space and family is different, and we want to make sure that our services fit your needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a simpler setup or a fully customized play zone, we’ll make sure each element is properly installed and ready for years of fun.

Classic Swing Sets

There’s something timeless about a classic, backyard swing set. These structures can fit beautifully in almost any yard, big or small, and can be combined with other structures, such as playhouses, for even more fun. You can enjoy a traditional swing or take it up a level with a fun tire swing option.

Slides and Climbing Structures

If you have a child who loves to climb and explore, these play structures are a great fit! There are so many options that include mini rock walls, rope ladders, slides, and more to help encourage balance, strength, and fun. We’ll make sure each piece is securely installed so you can know that your child is safe during their play.

Playhouses

A playhouse is a fantastic option for children who love to play pretend; it encourages imagination and creativity during play. There are many different playhouse options available, like castles, cozy cabins, multi-level, and much more. For an added touch, a small sandbox nearby can make the play area even more interactive.

Mini-Sport Areas

If your family loves to stay active or play games together, we can help set up a simple play space that is perfect for outdoor activities. Whether it’s a smaller area for games like catch or tag, or a dedicated spot for backyard games that the whole family can enjoy, like horseshoes, cornhole, bocce ball, and more!

Our Installation Process

Our primary goal is to make upgrading your outdoor space simple, safe, and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect:
Step 01

CONSULTATION:

During the initial consultation, we’ll discuss your vision, take measurements, and assess the site. Within 2-3 days, you’ll receive a detailed quote with the contract, pricing breakdown, and project plan.

Step 02

PLANNING THE LAYOUT:

Before we begin any assembly, we fully prep the area, which can include levelling the ground, removing obstructions, and creating a solid foundation for the structure.

Step 03

INSTALLATION:

Our experienced team will carefully assemble and anchor each element of the structure so it’s properly secure and safe.

Step 04

FINAL WALKTHROUGH:

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 construct playground equipment?

No, we do not construct the playground equipment; we install existing play structures.

Do you prepare the ground or site before installing a play structure?

Yes, we perform site work to make sure the site is level, clear of obstructions, and prepped for installation.

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.
