Playground Construction: From Ground Cover to Shade Structures
When it comes to building community spaces that are both safe and enjoyable, few areas are as crucial as parks and playgrounds. At G&G Builders, we have made a name for ourselves in this niche by specializing in the installation of high-quality playground equipment and surfacing solutions that make parks not only fun but also safe for children and families. By partnering with top manufacturers and utilizing cutting-edge materials, G&G Builders ensures that every park project meets the highest standards of quality and safety.
Ground Covering and Surfacing Options
A key aspect of any park or playground project is the type of surfacing used. Different types of surfacing impact the space's aesthetic and play a critical role in the safety and comfort of its users. At G&G, we work with a range of ground-covering options to suit various needs and preferences:
Pour-in-Place Surfacing: This seamless, cushioned surfacing is a popular choice for playgrounds due to its durability and ability to absorb impact, reducing the risk of injury from falls. Pour-in-place surfacing is available in various colors and can be customized with designs to enhance the visual appeal of the playground.
Rubber Tile: Known for its resilience and ease of maintenance, rubber tile surfacing is another excellent option for playgrounds. G&G Builders is one of the few companies in the Bay Area qualified to install a rubber tile product by sofSURFACES, a leading product in the market. These interlocking tiles are designed to provide a safe and comfortable surface for children to play on.
Engineered Wood Fiber: A classic choice for many playgrounds, woodchips offer a natural look and feel while providing a soft landing surface. Once compacted, this surface becomes ADA-accessible, providing an inclusive play area for everyone. They are an economical option and are easy to replenish, making them a popular choice for parks looking to maintain a natural aesthetic.
Equipment and Shade Structure Manufacturers
G&G takes pride in its partnerships with some of the industry's top playground equipment and shade structure manufacturers. These collaborations allow G&G to offer various products and styles to fit any park or playground project. The playground manufacturers that G&G works with the most often and is certified to install include Game Time, Playcraft, and Landscape Structures. Another major component of parks and playground construction is shade structures. G&G often uses Icon Shelter Systems products to provide essential protection from the sun, allowing children to play comfortably and safely, even on hot days.
Streamlined Purchasing
Navigating the purchasing process for playground equipment and surfacing can be complex, but the process is simplified through the Omnia Law. This framework allows school districts and parks to purchase directly from manufacturers, streamlining the procurement process and ensuring cost-effective solutions. As a certified installer, G&G Builders essentially acts as a subcontractor to these large suppliers, ensuring that every project is completed to the highest standard.
From Delivery to Installation
Once the playground equipment and surfacing materials are selected, G&G Builders takes care of the rest. The playground equipment arrives on-site in crates and large parts, ready for assembly. With a team of experienced professionals, G&G Builders handles every aspect of the installation, ensuring that each component is securely and correctly installed for safe, long-term use. At G&G, we are dedicated to creating parks and playgrounds that unite communities while prioritizing safety and quality. With a wide range of surfacing options and partnerships with leading equipment manufacturers, we are equipped to handle any park project, big or small.
