HOW PLAYSCAPE DESIGN WORKS
Our professional design team uses natural materials, plants, and loose parts to create a playground that inspires child-led play. Each design is custom, considering the unique needs and preferences of the client as well as the unique characteristics of your program and site.
Once installed, your children can explore and play freely in the new natural playscape. Provide loose parts, step back and let the high level play begin.
This is often called flow state play. When student’s are quiet engaged, and ‘working’ hard.
Rest assured, all our designs meet national safety guidelines and are easy to maintain. Our staff includes Certified Playground Safety Inspectors, licensed landscape architects, educators, and parents.
“Our new natural play area is fantastic! I am blown away at how engaged and happy the kids are. They get into this flow state in their play where they test and try new things. They make up amazing imaginative storylines and even get along better than when we had a traditional playground!”

WHY WORK WITH LEARNING LANDSCAPES DESIGN?
As a parent and educator, our founder saw firsthand the limitations of traditional preschools and playgrounds. She saw how engaged her children were in nature and self directed play. This was a huge contrast from how they played on the traditional playground equipment provided at their preschool. This inspired the creation of Learning Landscapes Design, which has since transformed dozens of preschool playgrounds across the country in the past 10 years.

LET’S TALK ABOUT COST
Our projects typically have a construction budget of $50,000 to $400,000 for preschool and school playgrounds. You don’t need all of this in hand to get started! I know these numbers can be daunting. But, this is typically what it takes to get something amazing designed and built and to get a contractor on site. This can be a phase in cost over a number of years.
- What does it take to get started? We typically start with a concept design phase. This includes a site visit and meeting with your team where we look over lots of options, talk about safety, permitting, licensing etc. This is a fixed cost phase typically ranging from $8,000 – $12,000. You will get a full proposal and scope, deliverables and a firm fee after we talk in person. (See the form below) This task results in concept plan and a cost estimate for construction of your entire project.
- Then we move to a Construction Document phase. These are the detailed drawings that show a contractor just how to build the items in the design. This phase is typically 10%-20% of what you want to spend for construction. This depends on lots of factors like if we need a permit, is engineering involved, how many custom elements are incorporated, etc.
This is just a frame work idea for you to get started. After we connect and we have a better idea of your vision, we will send a more detailed scope and fee.
Learning Landscapes Design’s work has enriched the play experiences of countless children. Our children do not get a second chance to development in those precious preschool years. Let’s work together to give them a high quality environment to maximize cognitive, emotion, and social development.
