Budgeting

Sometimes the excitement of planning your dream playground can leave you budget blindsided. It’s easy to forget there are more expenses to account for than just playground equipment. But with some careful consideration, you can ensure a fun, smooth process with no financial surprises.

Start by planning for these standard project expenses:

  • Surfacing: excavation, drainage, sub-surfacing, containment, material, freight, labor
  • Shipping: freight, truck unloading, goods inventory, packaging removal/disposal
  • Site preparation: permits, sidewalk installation, lighting, drainage
  • Storage (if your play equipment arrives before final site preparation is finished)
  • Installation: professional installation, supervised build, or community build (costs vary depending on your solution)
  • Construction materials: concrete, gravel, sand
  • Landscaping services/materials: labor, trees, plants
