Playground & Play Area Turf in Beaverton
The play areas we build in Beaverton are usually retrofits into established yards rather than new installations, and that brings a specific set of conditions. The 1970s through 1990s subdivisions here have mature trees, so the play structure is often under a fir, in the part of the yard where grass gave up years ago and the ground is a mixture of bare soil, moss, and needle litter that turns to mud by November.
Typically $18 to $28 per square foot installed in Beaverton. Run your numbers.

What changes about playground & play area turf in Beaverton
That is a good candidate for surfacing, but the drainage needs real attention, because Washington County clay under a shaded, compacted play area is close to the worst-draining situation in a residential yard. We excavate to depth, build an open-graded base, and specify a permeable shock pad rated to the equipment's fall height. The result is a play area usable in months when the bark pit version was simply out of commission.
How we build it here
Shaded, compacted ground drains worst
A play area under a fir on clay is the hardest drainage case in a typical Beaverton yard. The base work matters more here than anywhere else in the garden.
Usable through the wet season
The point of surfacing a Beaverton play area is the months it gives back. A bark pit under a tree is out of use from November to April.
Retrofit around existing equipment
Most of these jobs work around a structure that is staying. We excavate and surface around the posts rather than asking you to dismantle it.
Permeable pad, not a solid one
A solid shock pad under permeable turf creates a tray. On clay that is a standing-water problem within one season.
