How to Prepare a Yard for a Backyard Play Set?, Urbandale, Iowa

A backyard play set can keep your children active and engaged all day long. Once you’ve purchased a play set, you should prepare your yard for installation. Here’s a checklist of to-do tasks.

4 Steps to Prepare Your Yard for a Play Set

1. Find the Right Location

backyard play setThe first step in prepping a backyard for play set installation is to select a safe location. Allow at least six feet of space on each side of the set. Avoid sites with overhanging trees, power lines, or roofing. Spots without the presence of rocks and roots are ideal.

2. Level the Area

Level the ground where the play set will be constructed. Level surfaces are safer for children. Mark the area with stakes, and remove the grass and top layer of soil.

If your yard needs to be regraded to accommodate an installation, you may need to hire a professional for their resloping expertise.

3. Choose a Foundation

A quality foundation material will protect your children from injuries if they fall. Mulch, wood chips, rubber mats, sand, and shredded rubber may be used. Consider your family’s needs and budget. Wood chips are inexpensive and biodegradable. Rubber matting, although costly, lasts longer.

4. Maintain Safety

After installation, check the set periodically for loose anchors, bolts, and other issues of wear, and have any problems promptly repaired. Consistent monitoring and speedy repairs will ensure your children and their friends are safe while they play.
