Every site is different. Equipment, surfacing, shade, site preparation and installation all affect the scope. Contact ATHCO for a project-specific estimate before setting a bond or grant figure.
Size, water systems, spray features, site preparation and supporting facilities all affect the scope. Contact ATHCO to discuss your site and get a project-specific estimate.
Kansas and Missouri public entities can purchase ATHCO equipment and installation directly through ATHCO's Greenbush contract, since all of our products and services have been pre-bid through Greenbush's RFP process. You issue a purchase order referencing the contract. See our Greenbush page.
Landscape Structures and Aquatix: 8 to 12 weeks from order to delivery, longer for custom towers. Porter Athletic gym equipment: submittals take 6 to 8 weeks, then 10 to 14 weeks to ship. Plan a spring order for a summer playground install, and order gym equipment as soon as the structural steel drawings are approved.
ATHCO manages installation with certified installers we have worked with for years, under our project manager and construction manager (both CPSI certified). On bonded new-construction jobs we work as a subcontractor to the general contractor; on park and district jobs we contract directly with you.
Yes. We provide CPSI playground audits, annual inspections, gym equipment inspections (backstops, divider curtains, scoreboards) and equipment repairs. Contact us to confirm service options for your equipment and manufacturer.
Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF), synthetic turf and poured-in-place rubber have different costs, maintenance needs and accessibility considerations. Selection depends on your site, design and maintenance plan. ATHCO can help compare options.
A playground where children of all abilities can play together, not a separate accessible corner. That means an accessible route to elevated play, ground-level sensory and social play, transfer points, ramps when needed, and unitary surfacing. We design to the Landscape Structures inclusive play guidelines and can help with grant applications.
Basketball backstops and equipment control, ceiling-suspended volleyball systems, sleeved volleyball with floor sleeves, wall padding, divider curtains, batting cages, perimeter netting, and PE-stamped submittals with point loads for the structural engineer. ATHCO supplies, installs, and trains your staff. More importantly, we're local to better assist in service years after the install is complete.
Warranty coverage varies by manufacturer, product and component. Ask ATHCO for the current written terms and available service options for the equipment in your proposal.
Yes. We provide CAD and 3D files, specifications, budget pricing and submittals, and offer free continuing-education (CEU) sessions. See our Landscape Architects page.
