Question 1

How much does swing set installation cost in Dallas?

Accepted Answer

Installation pricing depends on the size and complexity of the playset, ground conditions, and whether ground leveling or borders are needed. Call 972-835-6122 for a free quote.

Question 2

How long does a swing set installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential installations are completed in a single day.

Question 3

Do you install swing sets you didn't sell us?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install Gorilla playsets from our catalog and most other major wooden brands, including sets purchased elsewhere.

Question 4

Is shipping free with professional installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Playset orders that include local DFW installation ship free. Kit-only orders ship for a flat fee. Installation is priced per playset on each product page.

Question 5

How much does swing set relocation cost in Dallas?

Accepted Answer

Relocation pricing depends on the size of the set, how it is currently assembled, and the distance between addresses. Call 972-835-6122 for a free move quote.

Question 6

How long does a swing set move take?

Accepted Answer

Most local DFW relocations are a one- to two-day job: disassembly at the current yard, transport, and reassembly at the new address.

Question 7

Can you move a swing set out of state?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We disassemble and pack the set for your moving company, then reassemble it at the new house when you are ready — including long-distance relocations.

Question 8

Do you relocate swing sets you didn't sell us?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We move most wooden backyard brands, not only Gorilla Playsets purchased through Dallas Playsets.

Question 9

Why do playsets need borders and ground cover?

Accepted Answer

CPSC fall zones need a contained, cushioned surface under swings, slides, and climbing walls. Borders keep mulch or rubber in place and keep the play area from migrating into the lawn.

Question 10

What ground cover do you recommend in North Texas?

Accepted Answer

Engineered wood fiber or shredded bark is the usual residential choice. Rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces last longer with less top-up. We match the depth to the playset height.

Question 11

Do you install artificial turf under playsets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, including turf over a proper base and, when needed, extra fall-zone cushioning. Turf alone is not always enough under a tall slide — we design the stack to the set.

Question 12

Can you add borders to a set we already own?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send a photo and approximate dimensions or request a quote. We install borders and surfacing for Gorilla sets we sold and for existing wooden playsets.

Question 13

How often should a cedar playset be sealed in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Factory water-based sealers fade fast in DFW sun and storms. We recommend an oil-based sealer on high-wear wood — swing beams, decks, and climbing walls — typically on an annual cycle.

Question 14

What is included in a playset tune-up?

Accepted Answer

Hardware inspection and tightening, sanding splinters, checking swing chains and brackets, replacing worn swings or accessories when needed, and sealing where the wood needs it.

Question 15

Do you service playsets you did not install?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We maintain wooden playsets across the metroplex, including sets that moved here with a family or were assembled DIY.

Question 16

When should I call instead of DIY?

Accepted Answer

Call if a beam has shifted, hardware is rusted through, a slide mount is cracked, or the set rocks. Those are structural, not weekend-wrench jobs.

Question 17

Where do you install?

Accepted Answer

Dallas–Fort Worth and surrounding communities out to about a 90-minute drive — including Waco, Sherman, Granbury, and Paris on the outer ring. Check a city or ZIP on the service area page.

Question 18

Can I buy accessories without a playset?

Accepted Answer

No. Gorilla add-ons — extra swings, stain, steering wheels, Sky Loft, monkey bars — are checked on a playset product page and ship with that order. If you already own a set, call (972) 835-6122 for a replacement-part quote.

Question 19

Can I buy a playset without installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shop any Gorilla set and skip the install add-on. Kit-only orders ship for a flat fee. You can always add a later install quote if you change your mind.

Question 20

Do you sell commercial playground equipment?

Accepted Answer

Residential Gorilla playsets live here. Schools, parks, and HOA playgrounds go to our sister site, Dallas Commercial Playgrounds.

Question 21

What is the lumber warranty?

Accepted Answer

Sets purchased from Dallas Playsets and installed by our crew carry Gorilla’s authorized-dealer warranty: lifetime coverage on above-ground wood and slides, and 2 years on non-wood parts. Kit-only orders without dealer install follow Gorilla’s 10-year lumber and 1-year accessory terms. Call us to file a claim.

Question 22

How fast do you respond?

Accepted Answer

We respond within one business day. Call (972) 835-6122 if a set is already down or a move has a hard date.
