Playset Assembly: what to expect & FAQs

Swing-and-slide playsets, towers and forts — built level, bolts torqued and every joint shake-tested by a Vetted, Certified local expert before the first climb. Every request is fixed-price upfront and backed by our 100% Happiness Guarantee.

What’s included

  • Complete assembly to the manufacturer’s instructions on the level, cleared ground you provide
  • Towers squared and levelled; slides, swings, rock walls and roofs fitted
  • Hardware torque check and a shake test on every joint and swing hanger
  • Ground anchoring where the kit includes stakes — you supply any additional anchors
  • Packaging flattened and left in your on-site bins

What’s not included

  • The playset — you supply it; we supply the expert
  • Site preparation: grading, sod removal, mulch or rubber surfacing
  • Anchors, bolts and fixings beyond what ships in the box — you supply the hardware on every securing or anchoring add-on
  • Staining or sealing the wood
  • Carrying pallets from the driveway unless you add Move Boxes to Backyard

What the price is and what moves it

Playset assembly starts at $175 for a single-tower set. Tower count, slides and accessories set the price; every set carries its own fixed number on the page.

  • Mount in Ground, where offered: +$250 — you supply the anchoring hardware
  • Swing-set attachments and similar options: priced on the product page (from +$130)
  • Move Boxes to Backyard: +$105 (pallets left on the driveway are heavy — add this if you cannot move them)
  • Pick-up & delivery from the retailer, where offered: from $255
  • Haul-away of packaging off-site: +$99 (otherwise flattened and left in your on-site bins)
  • A few states carry a small location adjustment; it appears in your price the moment you choose your location

Brands we assemble

KidKraft, PlayStar, Gorilla Playsets, Backyard Discovery, Lifetime, KidWise, KidsQuest and AGame are the sets most requests are for — and the service is the same for any brand from any retailer. Single-tower sets are single-visit; multi-tower sets may be scheduled as a longer appointment — always fixed-price upfront.

Common questions

Does the yard need to be level?
Yes — playsets need a level, cleared area. Your expert will tell you before starting if the slope is beyond what the set allows.
Can you assemble a playset I bought anywhere else?
Yes — Costco, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Amazon or direct. Every job is fixed-price upfront, whatever you bought.
Do you anchor the playset?
Where the kit includes stakes, yes. Mount in Ground is the add-on for a permanent anchor — you supply the hardware, your expert sets it.
How long does a playset take?
Single-tower sets are done in a single visit; large multi-tower sets may run longer — always fixed-price upfront.
Can I choose my appointment date?
Yes — you set your appointment preference when you book, and scheduling is flexible if that changes.
