What We Build

The Foundation — Not the Structure

Santucci Landscaping specializes in the critical groundwork that makes playground and trampoline installations safe, durable, and beautiful. We excavate, grade, install drainage systems, construct retaining walls and borders, prepare bases, and install safety surfacing. For the actual play structures — swing sets, climbing systems, and playground equipment — we partner with established manufacturers and installers like Walpole Outdoors who specialize in premium outdoor structures.

The Foundation — Not the Structure

"We had three contractors tell us inground trampolines were impossible on our sloped lot. Santucci engineered the retaining walls, drainage, and grade work that made it happen. The trampoline looks like it was always part of the yard."

Inground Trampoline Installation

Inground Trampoline Installation

Complete excavation, drainage system installation, retaining collar construction, and landscape integration for flush-mount inground trampolines. We work with all major inground trampoline brands including Avyna, Berg, and Capital Play. Proper drainage is critical in New England's wet climate — we install perforated pipe systems that prevent water accumulation beneath the mat.

Playground Foundation Systems

Playground Foundation Systems

Engineered bases for swing sets and play structures. We excavate to proper depth, install drainage fabric, compact the subbase, and construct borders in natural stone, timber, or steel edging. The foundation we build ensures your play structure remains level, drains properly, and integrates with the surrounding landscape.

Safety Surfacing Installation

Safety Surfacing Installation

Poured-in-place rubber surfacing and engineered wood fiber systems installed to ASTM F1292 standards. We calculate critical fall height for your specific equipment and install surfacing at the depth required for impact attenuation. Poured rubber is available in earth-tone colors that harmonize with natural landscape palettes.

Inground Trampolines

Flush-Mount Installation for MetroWest Properties

Inground trampolines eliminate the visual bulk of above-ground frames and create a safer jumping experience with the mat at or near ground level. But proper installation requires significant excavation and engineering that most homeowners underestimate. The hole must be precisely sized for your trampoline model, with adequate clearance beneath the mat for bounce deflection and critical drainage infrastructure.

The Process

From Site Assessment to First Jump

01
01
Step 01

Site Assessment

The owner visits your property to assess the proposed location, evaluate drainage conditions, identify any grade challenges, and discuss your family's vision for the play area. We review setback requirements for your MetroWest town.

Step 02

Design & Coordination

We develop the foundation plan — excavation depth, drainage design, border materials, surfacing type. For play structures, we coordinate with equipment suppliers like Walpole Outdoors on timing and installation requirements.

Step 03

Excavation & Drainage

Precision excavation of the play area footprint. For inground trampolines, we install the complete drainage system before any other work. Proper water management is non-negotiable in New England.

Step 04

Structure & Surfacing

Retaining walls and borders are constructed, bases are compacted, and safety surfacing is installed. For play structures, we prepare the site and coordinate equipment delivery and installation with our partners.

Landscape Integration

Final grading, planting around the play area, and hardscape connections tie the installation into your broader landscape. The result looks like it was always part of the property.

Partner Model

Working with Premium Equipment Suppliers

Santucci does not manufacture or sell swing sets, trampolines, or playground equipment. We partner with companies who specialize in these products — like Walpole Outdoors for cedar play structures — while we handle the site preparation, foundation work, and landscape integration that these suppliers typically cannot provide at our level of quality.
