Swingset Bases and Playset Foundations: How We Build Them at Site Prep

This video shows how we install swingset bases/playset foundations at Site Prep. Our swingset bases include a base layer of crushed stone, a weed barrier fabric, and a top layer of wood mulch. A pressure-treated lumber perimeter keeps all the materials in place.
