A Note from the Owners

In 2011 Aaron and JamieLea Sligh started a playground installation company as a husband and wife team operating out of Holland, MI. As the years went on and business grew they expanded their operation to a sales force that would include Little Tikes Commercial play equipment, site furnishings and safety surfacing.  Aaron began to perfect his skills as a designer/installer and worked with various customer markets while JamieLea advanced the company’s retention by creating a sterling reputation with their customer service.  Later moving the operation to Iowa in 2019 the couple began to introduce Iowan’s to their “turn-key” operation and gain the confidence of their new customers by working closely with communities and their decision makers to seek out opportunities within the commercial playground industry.  In 2023 they expanded their sales force team bringing in both experienced and new talent to offer their customer’s more accessibility with competitive turn around timelines.  JamieLea and Aaron continue to run the company from West Des Moines Iowa where their 3 sons get to “preview” each design and “test out” each site to make sure mom and dad are always doing their best work getting the kids stamp of approval!

“Our customer’s trust us to provide a quality product, unique design’s and a painless process; our goal is always to hold that promise and over deliver through excellent customer service. “-JamieLea Sligh

“Building a sense of community through play is our specialty, but what is special to me is that I get an opportunity to work with fellow Iowan’s to create spaces that their community will enjoy for years to come!”- Aaron Sligh
