About Nature Play
Logs, boulders and mounds make wonderful playgrounds
Nature play invites kids to climb, balance, dig, hide and explore using natural materials instead of manufactured equipment. It looks beautiful and often suits wooded or garden settings.
We design and build nature play areas with sourced logs, boulders, mounds and plantings, and we plan safe heights, surfacing and drainage.

- Open-ended, imaginative play

The Process
How We Work With You
Talk and Measure
Call 615-357-7797 or send the form. We visit your yard, talk about your kids and your goals and measure the space and its slope.
Choose and Design
We help you compare options, plan the layout and safety zones and settle on equipment, surfacing and finishes.
Build With Care
We prepare the site, assemble the structure, anchor it and level it, and set up the surfacing properly.
Safety Walkthrough
We check every bolt, swing and slide with you, explain upkeep and make sure everything is ready to play.
Free Tool
Play Style Quiz
Six playful questions about your kids, your yard and your style, and we suggest the kind of play space that fits.
Before and After
See the Difference
Drag the handle to compare. Photos are illustrative.
Photos on this site are illustrative and show typical playgrounds and yards, not completed Music City Playgrounds projects. Every play area is planned and confirmed with a visit before work begins, and permit, HOA and local requirements depend on your property and location. Figures in our tools are planning estimates only.
Is nature play safe?
With planned heights, surfacing and zones, yes. We design and explain what matters.

Some. Natural materials weather, and we explain what to check.
