The Natural Playgrounds Company® consists of two divisions: Design Services and a Manufacturing plant where we make all our natural outdoor play and learning elements sold through our online store.
Our unique expertise stems from our knowledge, experience, and understanding of how children play, over 40 years of working with children of all ages, a comprehensive and complete understanding of children's play expectations and experiences, the natural environment, environmental planning, design and the visual arts, landscaping and hardscaping construction, and playground safety regulations.
We have been focusing on natural play and learning elements exclusively for almost 20 years. We don't do anything else: we design them and build them, and design and build things that go in them, and that's it. We're the only company in the world who offers this comprehensive package of services, and the only company in the world which has an intimate understanding of how all these work together, because we control every aspect of every part of the process.
Why does this matter? Because we've been doing this for so long, and because all our processes are interrelated, we get constant feedback from each of our divisions, which means we are constantly improving our products, services, and operations, and constantly adjusting to meet all the licensing and safety regulations. All of this makes it easy and foolproof for you!
And because we know what we're doing, we're extremely cost-effective.
