One plan, one phase at a time.
Phased builds, planned against the finished footprint.
Built for a committee, a budget, and a calendar.
A Plan Before a Catalog
We lay out the whole footprint first, then break it into phases with a real number on each. Your committee gets something it can vote on, and phase two doesn't tear out phase one.
One Crew, Whole Scope
Demolition, concrete, surfacing, equipment, shade, and park amenities are all our crews. One number to call, no volunteer coordinating four contractors.
Certified Installation
Factory-trained installers with CPSI-credentialed inspectors on the crew. Installed to manufacturer specification and to ASTM F1487 — what your insurance carrier and your warranty both depend on.
Straight Answers on Budget
If what you want costs more than you have, we'll say so at the site visit. And we'll tell you what a realistic phase one looks like at the number you do have.
How a phased build actually works.
The expensive mistake is buying equipment first and figuring out the site later. Site work is the part nobody wants to pay for and the part that determines everything else: where water goes, how deep the surfacing sits, where the accessible route enters, what the borders have to hold. Get that laid out for the finished footprint on day one and each later phase drops into place.
- Phase one should be usable, not partial. Kids should be able to play on it the week it's finished. A half-built structure behind fencing costs a congregation its momentum, and momentum is what funds phase two.
- Do the site work once. Grading, drainage, containment, and the accessible route get built for the full plan the first time through. Doing it in pieces costs more in total and looks worse.
- Leave the connections ready. Surfacing edges, border transitions, and equipment clearances get set so the next phase ties in instead of getting demolished into.
What we install.
Playground equipment installation
Age-separated structures, freestanding play, and inclusive components. Certified installation to manufacturer spec.
Safety surfacing
Poured-in-place rubber, engineered wood fiber, synthetic turf, and tiles, installed to the fall height your equipment requires.
Shade structures
Freestanding and equipment-mounted, engineered for local wind and snow load. Often the highest-value thing a second phase can add.
Park amenities
Benches, tables, grills, waste receptacles, bike racks, and signage. The things that make a family stay after the service ends.
Pavilions and shelters
For fellowship space, outdoor gatherings, and the shaded seating parents will ask for.
Concrete work
Footings, flatwork, containment curbing, borders, and ADA-compliant ramps and routes.
Demolition and removal
Old equipment, failed surfacing, and disposal. Usually phase one of a replacement, and often where volunteers can genuinely help.
Courts and outdoor recreation
Basketball, pickleball, court striping, gaga ball, and outdoor fitness for youth and community programs.
If it belongs in a play space, we can install it. If it's outside our scope, we'll say so and tell you who does it well.
Your campus stays open.
A church campus isn't an empty site. There are services, weekday preschool, camps, funerals, and events that were on the calendar before your playground was. We plan the install around them, and we tell you up front which days will be loud and which areas have to be closed off — not the morning it happens.
- We ask for your calendar first. Services, preschool hours, VBS, camps, and anything on the books during the install window. It shapes the schedule, not the other way around.
- The work area gets fenced and contained. Open excavation and staged materials stay behind fencing, out of reach, with the rest of the campus usable.
- Deliveries get coordinated, not dumped. Equipment freight, surfacing material, and concrete arrive on a schedule someone at your office has agreed to.
- We clean up daily, not just at the end. On a campus where children are present every day, that isn't a courtesy.
Five steps, and a plan you can take to a vote.
Site Walk
We walk the campus with you, look at access, grade, drainage, sun, and sightlines from the building, and tell you what the site is going to demand.
Phased Plan & Numbers
The full footprint, broken into phases, with a real number on each. Formatted so a committee can read it without a translator.
Committee & Approval
We'll join a meeting, answer questions, and revise the plan. Most congregations need two passes before a vote, and that's normal.
Install
Scheduled around your calendar, fenced and contained, with the rest of the campus open.
Inspection & Handoff
Final safety inspection, warranty and maintenance documentation, and a walkthrough with whoever will be looking after it.
We respond to every project inquiry within two business days.
What your insurance carrier will ask for.
Certifications
- Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI), credentialed through the National Recreation and Park Association — held by multiple crew members including our head of construction
- Installation to ASTM F1487 and current CPSC handbook guidance
Insurance & documentation
- General liability and workers' compensation — certificates available on request
- Manufacturer warranty preserved through certified installation
- Post-installation safety inspection report for your files
- W-9, licensing, and safety documentation available on request
Where we work.
We install across five states in the Southeast. Start with yours.
Common questions from committees.
We don't know what this should cost. Where do we even start?
With a site visit, not a catalog. Once we've seen the space we can give you a range for a full build and a range for a realistic phase one. Committees that pick equipment first almost always have to start over, because the site turns out to cost more than anyone budgeted.
How small is too small to be worth your time?
There isn't really a floor. We install single pieces of equipment and we install two-acre parks. Tell us what you've got and we'll tell you whether we're the right crew for it.
Can we split this across two budget years?
Yes, and it's common. The only requirement is that we plan the whole footprint before phase one goes in the ground. Site work done piecemeal costs more in total than site work done once.
Do we need a permit?
Usually something — it varies by jurisdiction and by whether you're adding impervious surface or a structure with footings. We'll tell you what your locality requires at the site walk and we handle the drawings and submittals our scope covers.
Our preschool uses the playground on weekdays. Does that change anything?
Yes, and it's worth flagging early. A licensed childcare program brings state requirements your play area has to meet — age separation, use zones, surfacing, and fencing among them — and they're stricter than what applies to weekend-only use. Our childcare resources cover the specifics.
Can our volunteers help with the build?
On the right parts, absolutely — demolition, clearing, mulch, and landscaping. Equipment assembly, footings, and surfacing need to be ours, because manufacturer warranties are conditional on certified installation.
Start with a plan, not a catalog.
Before your committee picks equipment, let us walk the campus and lay out the full footprint. You'll get a phased plan with a real number on each stage, so you know exactly what phase one buys and what it leaves ready for later.
