Landscaping
Proper placement of a playset will encourage children to use the set more and preserve the rest of your yard for other activities. I try to find a shady spot search for a way to maintain a portion of the yard for other activities. Leveling the space can be done in one of two ways. We can either flatten the whole area or simply dig small holes where the playset will rest in order to create a level install. Help with deciding where to place the set is included in the install. Almost all sets require a bit of leveling which is done without additional cost to the customer; more significant landscaping requires an additional charge.
While it is perfectly okay to place the set on grass, some families prefer a cushioning surface under the set. There are several bases available, wood chips, rubber mulch, pea gravel are among the most commonly used. A border is usually required to keep the base in a confined space. Materials for the border range from 4 inch by 4 inch pressure treated lumber to flexible rubber curb. I am happy to consult with you and find the best option and install it with care. I include a few links below to aid your search.

Triple ground mulch, or 'White Carpet Mulch'.
It is very soft and provides a safe landing.

It is applied about 6-9 inches deep on this recent CedarWorks set.
Cabot stains are recommended for sealing playsets.
