Since 2006, we have received forty-one Our team is passionate about designing creative and unique opportunities for play and exposing children to nature. We provide quality custom playgrounds that encourage children to take appropriate and measured risks to further their social, cognitive, and physical development. As a company, we believe that each playground should offer a wide variety of opportunities for growth for children of all ages and abilities. Philosophy Play structures need to be connected to each other and to other play elements in an interesting and comprehensive way. The playground shouldn’t be separate from its immediate environment. It should blend seamlessly into it; incorporating connective pathways and terrain changing hills; making use of different ground cover materials; and incorporating trees, shrubs, seating and shade. Experimentation is central to child development. While manipulating sand, mulch and water kids create ponds, moats, and disappearing lakes. Hitting a xylophone and experiencing the vibration and variation of sound stimulates the brain and the senses. Including natural elements, like water, sand, rocks, and dirt helps children learn cause and effect; it enriches the imagination and stimulates curiosity. EARTHSCAPE PLAYGROUNDS FEATURED ON CTV’S “MADE RIGHT HERE” CTV reporter Frank Lynn visited Earthscape to feature the company’s unique playgrounds in an episode of “Made Right Here.” Each one of the display gardens is unique. In addition to being visually appealing, many incorporate practical uses, especially where space is limited and different needs must be provided for, but a dinosaur preserve? I have enough trouble dealing with rabbits, let alone a clomping great Local Landscape Firm Earns Provincial Honours Earthscape, a Wallenstein-based landscaping and playground design firm, has earned seven awards at the Landscape of Ontario Awards. Children love to climb up, jump off and run around rocks. Each uniquely shaped rock offers a different challenge or opportunity. Large boulders are eye-catching and add interest and variation to a play space. They are used strategically to create play zones, as a play element, or to provide seating. We are commonly asked whether wood playgrounds are more susceptible to vandalism. We believe timber playgrounds are actually a better choice, and not any more likely to be destroyed by vandals than any other playground.
