Common Questions

Park & Recreation FAQ

What types of park and recreation projects do you handle?

Playground equipment installation, poured-in-place safety surfacing, picnic shelters and pavilions, park restrooms, benches and site furnishings, splash pads, trails and pathways, park repairs, concrete and site work, and sport courts. On projects with specialty trades (plumbing, electrical, pre-engineered structures) we self-perform our scope and coordinate licensed trade partners for theirs.

Do you work with municipalities and parks departments?

Yes. We work with cities, counties, towns, parks departments, HOAs, schools, and general contractors. We are familiar with public bidding, accessibility requirements, playground safety-surfacing specifications, and the schedules public projects run on.

Can you install commercial playground equipment?

Yes. We install commercial play systems to the manufacturer's instructions and the project specification, and we install poured-in-place safety surfacing directly. See the dedicated pages for each.

Do you handle site work and grading?

Yes. Grading, drainage, concrete flatwork, curbing, footings, and pad work for parks, recreation areas, and HOA common spaces.

What is the process for a park or recreation project?

Scope conversation, site visit or plan review, written proposal with schedule and warranty terms, permitting coordination where required, construction, and a documented turnover.

Do you build shelters and pavilions?

Yes. Concrete pads and footings, erection of pre-engineered shelter kits or site-built structures per the drawings, and finish items like tables and receptacles, with roofing and electrical performed by the appropriate trade where the scope requires.
