Prices apply to a typical standard playground site. Multiple separate play areas, unusually complex equipment, specialized testing and extensive travel may require a custom quote.

PlayGauge serves homeowners associations, park departments, schools and private property managers seeking independent playground inspection services across Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Temple, Waco and the surrounding counties. Inspections are scoped around the site and agreed methods; specialized impact-attenuation testing is not included unless separately arranged.

Annual Safety Program: $1,195 prepaid or $320 per quarter. Quarterly billing totals $1,280 per year.

New-client scheduling

A $250 scheduling retainer may be required for new private clients. The remaining standalone inspection balance is due before the final report is released.

Approved institutional clients may use purchase orders or Net 15 / Net 30 terms.

Scope and travel

Quotes reflect site complexity, separate play areas, accessibility, travel distance and grouped route dates. The published rates do not include specialized laboratory surfacing impact testing.

We confirm the scope and final price in writing before scheduling.

Inspection boundaries

Independent reporting. No repair-sales agenda.

PlayGauge evaluates documented, observable site conditions and identifies findings with relevant inspection standards, guidance and professional judgment where appropriate. We do not sell playground equipment, surfacing or repairs through PlayGauge.

An inspection represents conditions observed on the inspection date. It is not a guarantee that a playground is hazard-free, a blanket compliance certificate or a replacement for an owner's routine maintenance responsibilities.

Every comprehensive report is designed to provide

  • Documented equipment and site observations
  • Photographs associated with findings
  • Prioritized corrective recommendations
  • Relevant references when applicable
  • Clear communication of urgent conditions
