Outdoor playground contractor · Design & build
Dream Garden designs, manufactures and installs commercial outdoor playgrounds for parks, communities and municipal sites. Equipment, layout and installation sit in one contract, while foundations, surfacing and civil works are coordinated with your local contractors.
Share the site plan and intended age groups to start an equipment layout review.
Contract scope
One contract for the play equipment package. Foundations, surfacing and civil works are coordinated with your local contractors and listed in the scope.
| Work package | Dream Garden | Your local team |
|---|---|---|
| Site layout & design | Equipment layout, play value and safety zones drawn on your site plan, with 3D visuals. | Site survey, landscape plan and known utilities. |
| Equipment engineering | Equipment drawings, foundation details and an itemised bill of quantities. | Review by your landscape architect or engineer. |
| Manufacturing & QC | Galvanised steel, UV-stable plastics and fittings made in our factory, with quality checks before packing. | Approval of colours, finishes and final drawings. |
| Packing & shipping | Packing labelled by item, export documents and the agreed shipping terms. | Import clearance and local delivery, depending on the shipping terms. |
| Installation | Our crew, an on-site supervisor or remote guidance, as agreed in the contract. | Site access, setting-out points and, where agreed, foundation excavation. |
| Foundations, surfacing & civil works | Foundation details, impact-area dimensions and surfacing requirements for each item. | Civil works, drainage, safety surfacing and permits, unless added to our scope. |
| Handover & support | Inspection and care information, spare parts and technical support. | Routine inspections and maintenance. |
Installation options
Outdoor installation depends on ground works and local labour. Choose the option that fits; it is fixed in the contract before production.
Option 01 · Full installation
Our installation team travels to your site, assembles the supplied equipment to the approved drawings and completes the handover checks with your operator.
Best forFirst venues, tight opening dates and complex multi-level structures
Option 02 · Supervision
A Dream Garden supervisor works on site with installers you hire locally, setting out, sequencing the assembly and checking the work against the drawings.
Best forSites with an experienced local contractor or labour-cost limits
Option 03 · Remote guidance
Your team installs using labelled parts, assembly drawings and manuals, with video calls from our engineers at key stages and photo-based checks before opening.
Best forSmaller scopes, modular equipment and repeat clients
Design & build
A public playground sits within a larger place. Its equipment, access routes and landscape need to work together for children, caregivers and the people who maintain it.
01 / Site & community
Review the intended users, surrounding paths, visibility and connections to other park amenities. Consider how families arrive, where caregivers can wait and which activities fit the character of the community space.
Project deliverableA site-use brief and concept equipment zoning plan.
02 / Equipment & landscape
Select a play mix alongside the landscape plan, surfacing strategy and installation interfaces. Share information about drainage, slopes, exposure and ground conditions with the responsible designers before foundation details are confirmed.
Project deliverableAn equipment schedule and a coordinated list of landscape and civil interfaces.
03 / Handover & care
Consider access for inspections, cleaning and replacement parts during the design stage. Agree the supplied equipment documentation, installer responsibilities and handover checks with your project team before the site opens.
Project deliverableA documented supply scope and equipment inspection and care information.
From first drawing to handover
Four stages with one equipment team, coordinated with your civil and landscape contractors.
Review drawings, clear heights, target users and budget. Confirm what Dream Garden contracts for and what stays with local trades.
Venue assessment
Agree the 3D layout, theme, itemised scope, site interfaces and installation option before anything is produced.
Factory production with quality checks and trial assembly, then labelled packing and export logistics.
Factory & manufacturingProgramme, logistics and the installation option are confirmed for each project. Local building work and specialist approvals remain with the parties named in the agreed scope.
Choosing a contractor
Compare one design-and-build contract with buying the design, equipment and installation from separate parties.
| What matters | Manufacturer-contractor | Sourcing separately |
|---|---|---|
| Responsibility | One team owns the design, the equipment and the agreed installation scope. | Design, supply and installation sit with different firms, so interface gaps tend to surface on site. |
| Design accuracy | Layouts are drawn by the people who engineer and build the structures, checked against your columns and clear heights. | A concept may need re-engineering once a manufacturer reviews it, adding time and changes. |
| Pricing | Factory-direct pricing with an itemised scope, so every item and service is visible. | Equipment may pass through resellers, and installation is priced separately afterwards. |
| Installation | Installed by our crew, under our supervision or with our remote guidance, using the drawings the factory produced. | Installers may meet the system for the first time on site. |
| After handover | Spare parts, wear items and technical questions go back to the manufacturer. | Support depends on which party supplied each component. |

Foundations, surfacing, installation and working with your design team.
Ask about your siteYes. Choose our installation crew, a Dream Garden supervisor working with your local contractor, or remote guidance with drawings, manuals and video calls. Foundations and surfacing are agreed separately in the scope.
These items depend on the agreed contract scope and local site conditions. Identify the responsible designers and installers before confirming the equipment package.
Yes. Share the landscape and civil drawings so equipment positions, access, surfacing and foundation interfaces can be coordinated with the appointed design team.
Yes, a staged equipment proposal can be reviewed. Include retained equipment, public access constraints and the intended construction boundaries in the brief.
