Ready to inject some fun into your backyard or playground area? Professional playscapes are an exciting, safe way to give your kids the freedom to run and explore. More than just adding a simple swing set to your garden, playscapes are dynamic builds that incorporate the natural landscape while also offering a creative space for children to play.

Surface Pro Group creates safe playscapes to spark the imagination, working to build in playground themes as well as enhancing the children’s connection to the natural environment. These playgrounds include dry creek beds, rock installations, and play landscaping solutions, all of which are part of our regular work.

We can build your timber structures such as decks, pergolas, and cubby houses. We can also manage playground upgrades including grant funding works. To learn more about how we can bring your playscape vision to life, call us on 1300 521 612.

When we talk about playscapes, we’re not talking about a traditional playground. We’re envisioning a complete integrated area that incorporates the natural landscape as well as structures, ground work, and retaining walls that result in safe and creative spaces for children to explore.

An ideal playscape starts with a theme and works out from there. Every detail must be considered, from fence installation to keep children safe to drainage solutions and safety standards. These recreational spaces can be enhanced with everything from plantings to designer concrete pathways that inspire with non-traditional colours and grout line patterns. The best playground designers bring a combination of natural and synthetic turf materials into the project to create inviting and low maintenance solutions that adults can come to love as well.

When designing your playscape, you’ll want to keep the following in mind:

• What budget and timelines do you have to work with?
• How much space do you have to install a playscape?
• Will the landscape need to be altered to accommodate the design?
• What articles of equipment must be included?
• Will you need any structural builds like playhouses?
• What surface type will be best for your playscape?

There are any number of factors that can affect the amount of time it takes to construct a playscape. For that reason, there’s no set time that can be placed on a project, since most are custom and have one-of-a-kind plans and timelines. Smaller playscapes may take just weeks to install while larger initiatives could take months to complete.

How much equipment you have to install is one contributing factor to this. From swings to slides, bridges and towers, there are infinite structures that could be incorporated into your unique playscape design. Another factor is how much work needs to be done to the land itself to prepare it for the playscape. Are you using the natural contours or does the soil need to be leveled and retaining walls constructed to create the space you are looking for? All of these will add time (and cost) to your project.

This, too, will vary depending on the scope of your playscape. Naturally, the larger your playscape and more involved the design is, the more you are going to pay for it. Traditional playscapes with soft fall areas tend to be the most affordable option since their design is straightforward and the landscape is, for the most part, ignored. Integrated play landscapes with custom elements will cost much more. Other factors that can affect cost include:

• Play equipment
• Installation fees
• Surfacing choice
• Fencing
• Drainage solutions
• Hardscaping
• Structural builds

At the end of the day, pricing comes down to your budget and your imagination.

We wouldn’t call those playscapes. Sure, you can pick up some limited outdoor play equipment from the local hardware store and struggle to assemble it yourself over a long weekend. But these are going to be limited in what they offer and how integrated they can be with other elements and with your general landscape. You’ll also be limited in what you can construct.

When you go with a professional playscape designer, you can rest assured that not only will your children be able to grow with and enjoy their new play area, but they will also be safe. At Surface Pro Group, all of our equipment and structures are built in compliance with Australian Standards, something that can’t be guaranteed by attempting to build something on your own.

Playscapes are personal, creative spaces that can add new life to your backyard and really give your children a place to explore their imaginations and burn off some energy. To that end, Surface Pro Group creates professional playscapes that take into consideration both design and safety so that every aspect of your space is high quality. Our attention to detail is second to none, with a combined 50 years of experience helping our team lead the way on any size project.

We always start out with a free quote so you can understand what fits inside your budget, and we remain transparent throughout the entire build regarding cost and timing. We pride ourselves on remaining on schedule, weather permitting, and keeping clear communication with our clients throughout the process.

If you’re considering a playscape for your yard or community, we’d love the opportunity to speak with you. To learn more, call us on 1300 521 612 today!
