A TRUE DESIGN-BUILD PARTNER

Playground projects introduce technical and coordination challenges that can disrupt schedules and design workflows. Midwest Playscapes works alongside landscape architects to provide planning support, technical expertise, and construction coordination that helps projects move forward with fewer handoffs and clearer accountability.

A DESIGN BUILD PARTNER WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUR PROCESS

BUDGET ALIGNMENT WITHOUT COMPROMISING DESIGN

We help landscape architects evaluate feasibility early, identify cost drivers, and explore alternatives that maintain design quality while aligning with project budgets. Early collaboration helps prevent late-stage value engineering that can undermine the original intent of the design.

Many playground RFIs stem from disconnects between design intent and installation realities. Through early design assist and constructability review, Midwest Playscapes helps identify potential conflicts before construction, reducing RFIs, delays, and rework.

CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT YOU CAN RELY ON

Midwest Playscapes manages playground construction with in-house, CPSI-certified installation crews, allowing for direct coordination between designers and installers. This approach supports quality control, schedule reliability, and alignment with approved plans during construction.

Landscape architects engage Midwest Playscapes at different stages depending on project needs. Whether brought in during planning, design development, or pre-construction, we adapt to your workflow and provide support that fits the project timeline.
