Now, those heavy boxes are sitting in your garage, untouched, while your kids keep asking, When can we play?
The reality? Playset installation is time-consuming, physically demanding, and requires the right tools and experience.

We also provide playset installation services for play equipment moved from other areas of the country, sometimes with nothing more than a photo of the original setup.

Extend the Life of Your Backyard Playset with Preventive Maintenance

Custom Triton / Apollo DIY from Jack's Backyard
Wooden playsets are a significant investment for your family, but many homeowners neglect the maintenance required to keep them safe and durable. Proper care can prevent your playset from deteriorating and help retain up to 50% of its original value if resold.
A playset is exposed to wear and tear year-round. Without bi-annual inspections and maintenance, loose bolts and untreated wood can lead to structural weaknesses and safety hazards. Sun, rain, and moisture can cause the wood to splinter, weaken, or become brittle. Regular maintenance helps protect against these issues, ensuring your playset remains safe, strong, and enjoyable for years.
Invest in preventive care to keep your playset in top condition, maximizing its lifespan and safety.

It's common for parents to buy a smaller swingset made for a toddler and later realize their little rug crawler is a rock climber. When this happens, the first instinct might be to get rid of it and get a bigger one. Why not update the old playset with age appropriate upgrades? 
Maybe the family playset is looking like it's time for retirement or possibly a huge tree fell on it during a hurricane, like the one to the left, and it looks more like firewood than a swingset. While we can't save them all, even as bad as this one looks, we were able to save it. 

Repairs and add-ons are our speciality. Due to the overwhelming variety of swingsets and options, it's best to call and schedule a consultation for any type of repair or upgrade. We offer an experienced onsite opinion for $300. If you use any of our service for repairs, upgrades, moves, etc., we'll apply $100 of the consultation to the service expense. Our playset technicians are specifically trained to inspect and evaluate wooden backyard play systems for safety, durability, and functionality.
