How much does a Custom Timber Playground Cost?

The cost of a custom timber playground ranges from £5,000 to £100,000+.

The cost of custom timber [layground services depends on the size of the site, complexity of the design, number of play features, timber specification, surfacing requirements, and level of customisation required. Smaller trim trails or compact school playgrounds are generally at the lower end, while large multi-zone parks or highly themed bespoke installations require a higher investment.

Custom Timber Playground adds long-term value by creating durable, purpose-built play spaces that maximise engagement, improve site appeal, and withstand regular outdoor use.
