We can build anything!
If you can dream it... we can build it!

In February 2008, I was approached my Mark Saunders from Saunders Farm. He asked me if I could change their dilapidated tree house and hay jump into something that people would look at and say "WOW! That's cool!"

We discussed the theme desire and I came up with some basic sketches that were approved. This is the end result and I believe we achieved the desired "WOW" factor. Let me know what you think and maybe we can help in designing the perfect play structure for you.

This custom work was built in place around live trees. These photos you see show phase 1 of this project. Phase 2 will include additional features (see below). Work like this can be requested to be built in place, or we can work with you to build any design of your choice as a free standing structure. We can even use real large tree stumps that we would supply.
