Playset kits assume a flat yard. North Jersey yards slope. A set built on unlevel ground racks itself apart in a season — so we start with the ground, not the lumber.
Brands we build weekly: Backyard Discovery, Gorilla Playsets, KidKraft, and the big Costco/Sam's kits. Most mid-size kits are a full-day build for two installers.
Usually yes. Manufacturers allow modest leveling with shims and partial burial; beyond that we'll tell you plainly whether the spot needs re-grading before it's safe to build.
Yes — disassembly, transport prep, and rebuild at the new address, including replacing hardware that shouldn't be reused. It's often the best value for solid wood sets.
