Swing Set Installation

I currently have all the dirt in my yard and plan to have installed the entire back with peat. I also want to get a swing-set for my children. What do I have installed the first?

as a landscaper, I can say please do sod to give him a season and then get the swing, I say this because it will be in the pain of $ $ around a lawn swing ( I know I did) and you 'll have to wait a season for the grass to fix other wise it will be money down the toilet because of the traffic of children on a swing on the new lawn will kill him

I would put in the porch first, because the area under the lawn swing will be shortly after the turf of the entire court, because the feet of your children will abrade the grass below, to extinction. I would put sand in the area where their feet touch the ground.

Hard-scape always first ...

In this case, it is an autonomous and you want the grass beneath him, then sod

grass, unless you want to swing, concreted into the ground

I would not worry about the sodding the area around the swing, because over time the grass will be brought to earth by their slippage into it when they swing.

For the safety of your children look to invest in rubber mulch. This mulch is made from recycled tires and looks like wood mulch, but it does not degrade and provide a safe area to land in case your child falls on it.

You can take the rubber mulch, but the creation of a body part made of square wood landscaping. Set the swing on the rubber mulch. All this can be found at a Home Depot or Lowes.

I would suggest not peat where the swing will be. Swings should be at least 8 feet in front and behind, where the fluctuations will, which is filled with mulch games. Either finely shredded wood or rubber, to minimize injuries from falls.
Sod will just pulled away from the children playing on the swing, and look shabby after a short period.
