Handcrafted adventure for the everyday backyard.
Not every family has an estate — and not every great play structure needs one. Backyard Adventure Builds bring the same craftsmanship and design care to yards measured in feet rather than acres, scaled and sited to fit the space you have.
Designed for real yards
We start with your actual footprint — fence lines, trees, drainage, and the window you watch from. A backyard build is composed to fit comfortably, leave room to run, and respect setbacks, rather than crowding the space with more than it can hold.
The same hands, a right-sized scope
These builds use the same timber, joinery, and finishing standards as our larger commissions — just a focused feature set. A solid tower, a good slide, a swing bay, and a climbing element go a long way in a family yard.
What it costs
Backyard builds are our most accessible scope. The Dream Builder gives you an estimated planning range in minutes with no contact information required, so you can see where a project might land before you ever talk to us. Final pricing follows a site review, engineering, permitting, and a material takeoff.
Well suited to
- Suburban and in-town lots
- Families with young children
- Yards with setback or access limits
- A focused, high-quality feature set
- Homeowners who want craft over kit
- Sites that may still need permit review
Frequently asked
- Is there a minimum project size?
- We consider a range of scopes. Smaller local projects are welcome and are reviewed individually; the Dream Builder will tell you when a configuration is modest enough that a quick manual review is the best next step.
- Will a backyard build still need a permit?
- It depends entirely on your jurisdiction and property. We do not guess — where we lack verified local information, we say so, and permit requirements are confirmed by your address during a feasibility review.
