We had this custom playset installed in our backyard and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The builder was extremely professional, responsive, and clearly takes pride in his work. He showed up on time, communicated throughout the process, and made sure every detail of the installation was done correctly. The playset is incredibly sturdy, well-constructed, and looks fantastic in our yard. You can tell the installation was done with precision and care -- everything is level, secure, and thoughtfully assembled. The finished product exceeded our expectations and our kids absolutely love it. What really stood out was the quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, which is not always the case with home projects. If you're looking for someone reliable and skilled to install a playset or similar backyard structure, I would absolutely recommend them. We are very happy with the result and would definitely use them again. We had this custom playset installed in our backyard and the experience was excellent from start to finish.

Ordered level dry blocks from this company over $200 dollars worth. Never sent any tracking info took a week of me calling him to find out he has no stock. Told me he would refund me but never did. I did notice he did take the time to take down the product from his website. Good thing I'm technologically inclined and can pull up the page still. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s1rmm7gf98yltg8prx913/IMG_3362.PNG?rlkey=87f9muabtqob8ivm02hijqmx8&st=csymo5k8&dl=0 Definitely not a good way to run business by stealing money. Will be reporting this to the local attorney general too. Heres the main takeaway don't steal money. Don't use this guy because he clearly is not trust worthy. I'm doing a paypal resolution and of course this guy gets to hold my money till December 31st. Seriously stay away. read more

We bought a playset for our kids from the local big box, and were gazing down the barrel of a 6-8 week lead time for mfg assembly. I dropped Anthony a line and we had a crew in our backyard inside of a week (on a holiday too). They completed the work ahead of schedule with absolutely zero issues, and cheaper than what was quoted by the mfg contractors. Crew was polite, efficient, came prepared, and left our yard in better shape than when they started. Highly recommended! read more

We had such a great experience with Anthony. I honestly can't believe how fast he put this all together! From start to finish it took a little over 4 hours. This would have taken us a couple of weekends to finish. And can't beat the price. Well worth it. Highly recommend! read more

Anthony was easy to communicate with and extremely professional. He was able to assemble our three story playset by himself in one day. I'm very pregnant and was unable to assemble this myself, but even if I was physically able to with my husband, this would have been at least a three day project for us. My husband thinks longer. I can't recommend him and this company enough. Professional, efficient, and never imposed upon us. 10 stars!! read more

We had Anthony install a Lifetime metal swing set from Costco. He arrived and set up a couple of tables to work on. Total he took around 5hrs. He was friendly, very professional and most importantly did an excellent job on the install. Anthony saved us from what would have likely taken several full days to complete and we're appreciative of that! read more

So happy we called Anthony instead of attempting to build it ourselves. Easy to schedule. Asked his opinion on surfaces to possibly add to the swing set base and it was an honest opinion and not pushy. Swing set was started in the am and ready to play by lunch! Thank you!! read more

We live in a remote area in Riverside County. Regardless, they came out, and set up a large play set quickly and efficiently. It look about 1/2 the time we anticipated. Good businesses exceed (already high) expectations. Great work, and the entire process was very smooth from purchase to install. Quick, efficient, fair, and reliable. My grandson (and his friends and cousins) will be playing on this thing for years to come. Great service. Will recommend and will use again! read more

We had a gorilla play set delivered and the original installers kept canceling on us. We contacted Anthony and we were glad we did. Not only was he less expensive, he was very responsive and had the structure up very quickly. Went from pallet to kids playing in about 4 hours, and Anthony was working solo! Very impressive. read more

Set an appointment with Anthony for trampoline assembly at 3pm. I waited until 5pm and received no communication from him that he would be late. Unresponsive to text messages. I would go elsewhere if I were you. read more

I spent a lot of time researching and googling and more researching to get the perfect trampoline for my kids. In the end, talking with Anthony, and going with his recommendation was the best, easiest, most cost effective solution. He is super knowledgeable and made it simple. We decided on which trampoline and we had him come out and install it. All good. Thank you Anthony! read more

Anthony was absolutely wonderful!! He disassembled, moved and reassembled our Springfree Trampoline in less than 4 hours total!! He even went above and beyond to ensure it fit in a really difficult spot and then built an extra support structure that we needed by hand on the spot!! We can't speak highly enough about Anthony, he is just that top notch!! Thanks for being such a rockstar Anthony and for going way over and above to ensure we were taken care of! read more

Excellent experience. Responded right away, scheduled a date and provided a very fair and reasonable price. Came on time, provided wonderful advice about location to place the set, quickly broke down the set and moved and stained it as promised. A very easy experience that went smoothly and wasn't a burden on my time or schedule. Anthony is also a great pleasure to work with. Highly recommend read more

Anthony and his team did an amazing job at building various stages of our large home play area. We are so happy with the outcome. No job is too big or too small for them. We loved working with them as well. Ann & Paul read more

Anthony got the job done in one hot summer day. he is hard working. His quality is solid. His price is fair. Our playset was in large boxes one one side of the property and he had to carry the material to the other side. It was amazing to watch him work, I could tell he's had a lot of experience. It wasn't painful like watching new parents put together a crib. He was able to give advice on ground cover & new padding for our trampoline. read more

Anthony installed this play center we ordered here and not only is it beautiful but he was so helpful in figuring out the right set for our space. Had it set up in about 5 hours and really made sure we were happy with where it went and how it looked. He was even able to add a place for a regular swing which was unexpected! Highly recommend his knowledge and craftsmanship! read more

Very impressed with Anthony. Really cares about doing it right and making sure the customer is completely satisfied. Thanks again Anthony

Anthony saved us too! I had already put a deposit down for a Springfree trampoline and I called Ready Play Set to help in relocating it. The information he shared with me saved me hundreds of dollars or more, and a big headache. Without taking a dime from me, he gave us fantastic insight into the world of trampolines and helped guide me to the right one for my kids and family. I would gladly give Anthony my business without a second thought. Cheers! read more

Anthony is amazing and the only person you should trust to build your playset. He was able to get the job done in less than 6hrs when the manufacturer's instructions said it would take 2 guys 10hrs+ to complete. His experience from doing thousands of these clearly shows and the price he charges is more than fair and was less than what most handymen were quoting. Kids love the playset and the wife and I couldn't be happier. read more

Anthony went above and beyond to get me exactly what I was looking for and all the supplies I would need. I purchase three swings to hang from an above deck, and he even showed me how to install and let me practice on a block there on location. He and his wife really know how to take care of their customers, and give them personal attention to make sure their needs are met. Very reasonable prices for the level of service and quality of product. I drove an hour to get to their store, and would do it again if I needed more outdoor equipment! read more

Great experience with Anthony. He bent over backwards to get our playset installed before xmas. We ordered our set from Home Depot, and Anthony offered a fair price to install. Worth every penny. Our set was missing crucial bolts, and they were forced to make a second trip back out, but they did not complain at all. I helped my brother in law with a play set about 5 years ago and it was a nightmare. Do yourself a favor and go with Ready Play Set. Only thing I would do different is order one of their sets as they seem like much higher quality. read more

Set up our Costco playhouse in a couple hours and charged $225. Money WELL spent. It would have taken us forever and I'm sure we would have screwed it up. You need a PhD to get one of these things together. Playhouse is great. THANK YOU! read more

A friend said we could have her amazing Backyard Adventures play structure if we could move it out of her yard. We hired someone to do it and he brought it to us and left it in pieces and never came back. Within a week of finding Anthony, he was here putting it together. Super honest and super professional. Gave me great advice on its durability and care. He had it all put together within a few hours!! He was also was extremely patient with my excited kids asking if it was done yet:) Don't hesitate to call him to do any assembly you need! Thanks again so much Anthony!! read more

I was so excited to work with Anthony after reading all the amazing reviews. Unfortunately, our installation never occurred. When setting a date to do the installation it took several attempts to connect via email and phone. When I did receive a call back we set a date for install, our boys were so excited. I called, emailed and left a voicemail the week of to confirm. When Anthony emailed several days later he said "actually we can't do the installation this week". I called the next morning to ask when we was available. He said he would look at his calendar and call me back the same day to try and reschedule the installation. I have not heard back..... #disappointedkids read more

Bought a do it yourself play set from Costco and had it delivered Thursday 6/15/2017. Called several handyman to get a quote and most didn't sound too thrilled to take up the job of installing a kids play set. So I thought why not get more specific and actually look up a real pro. So I found Anthony's Ready Play website and thought perfect. So I call Anthony at 5:05pm Thursday and left a message and he called me within 3 minutes. I asked Anthony if he had time hopefully this week and he said he could come Saturday, wow to my relief. I had to work but my wife said Anthony showed up as promised judged the location for the play set and within 6.5 hours he put it all together. I was really impressed with the speed he took to knock it out. I was reading and watching YouTube videos and they all said it was at least a 2 full day job. So for anybody reading my long review do yourself a favor and not be a cheapskate and hire Anthony, he worked his ass off today and I'm sipping on a corona watching my kids have a blast today Sat 6/17/2017... thanks again Anthony for the fast and clean job... will pass along your info to all my friends.. read more

Even with delays from Covid, Anthony helped us pick out and customize a playset just right for our family and yard. He and his assistant saved us several weekends of work, and many headaches (and probably our marriage) by assembling the set. He knows his stuff - from advising on playset features to knowing just how to put them together from years of experience. It was not as cheap as a playset from Amazon or Costco, but we know this will last for many years, and it's so sturdy and lovely to look at. The kids are thrilled. BTW, if you are considering the rubber mulch, I was skeptical, but I'm so glad we got it. My son fell from the monkey bars and literally bounced right off the mulch. He cried for a minute but then was fine. I know if he had fallen on wood mulch it would have been a lot worse! read more

Anthony is the best. When we first bought our used spring free tramp, a hired a different person who had advertised as a trampoline mover. I had to help him and it took us 8 hours, not to mention 1 deep bruise and several blisters later for me. For the next move we called Anthony. It took him an hour to take down, and hour to set up and he did it all himself. He also gave us some tips on long term usage and repaired a couple minor issues w/ our trampoline. read more

Did a good job doing our 1st year maintenance on a new playset.

Life saver! These play sets are not easy to put together. Anthony cam over two days after initial call and by late afternoon the kids were enjoying their new playground. Price was reasonable and well worth it. read more

I contacted Anthony about relocating a used play structure from another house to mine. He spent a good deal of time with over the phone explaining what I should be looking for in a play set and providing advice on different product brands. He's the man to set up your playhouse if you want it done properly. read more

I bought a huge play structure on Craigs List and hired Backyard Adventures to come out and move it for me. Tony was amazing. He did in a couple hours what would have taken me a couple weekends! Plus, not only did he handle the take-down and set-up fast and professionally, he did it with a dozen kids in my yard asking "is it done yet?' every 15 seconds. We were VERY impressed with Tony and wil definately call Backyard Adventures again. Worth every penny. read more

Anthony was the best! Responsive, flexible, quick and best prices out there! I will definitely be using him for all future play set needs. Thank you!! read more

Love my new play set and trampoline! My kids are going to have so much fun. I'm so happy I found Anthony. He did a great job ordering, delivering, and installing everything. It turned out amazing! Highly recommend this company if you're thinking of getting a play set and want it installed properly and professionally. read more

Anthony is responsive, honest, timely and most important of all, supremely competent. He had our swing set built in less than a day and it's rock solid. I'm, admittedly, somewhat picky and he handled my requests in stride and met each one. My kids have been on the swing set constantly for the past few days and I have no reservations about their safety due to Anthony's workmanship. I will certainly recommend Ready.Play.Set to anyone I know in need of a playset assembly. read more

We needed a small, very specific footprint play set, and really couldn't find one that wasn't exorbitantly priced. We were about to settle for buying one at Costco, but would have needed to cut the swing arms off anyway due to no room for it. Called Tony from an ad in the community magazine, and told him my budget and needs, and he was able to put something fabulous together for us in our price range! It's perfect and the workmanship is superior to Costco play set. Plus he came out and installed it for us! This thing gets hours of kid abuse. Couldn't be happier with it, thanks Tony!! read more

Tony and his assistant showed up exactly when they said they would and were as helpful as could be! We couldn't decide where to put the playset for our nephew that they moved for us and even helped level off part of our side yard so that it would sit more level and be more safe. I like to think I am quite handy when it comes to these things but I can't imagine putting together a playset so large as quickly as they did. Will definitely be calling Tony back if we end up needing to move again! read more
