Products Made In America
Nearly all of our products are manufactured in America. It just makes sense. Keeping things close to home gives us greater control over quality, costs and sustainability. But more than that, it provides jobs for people who are passionate about enriching local communities and investing in future generations. We’re proud to have a home in Delano, Minn., and we’re proud to deliver on the American heritage of play and innovation to our customers.

Highest Safety Standards
Kids play hard and that means they're going to occasionally skin an elbow or bruise a shin. Safety has been a priority of ours since the beginning. In some ways, it’s the most difficult part of our business. See what steps we’ve taken to establish and exceed the safety standards in our industry.

"Landscape Structures made the daunting task of organizing a community build fun and tangible."
Kaizen, A Culture of Change
In the mid-1990s, we were expanding like crazy and we knew that we couldn’t sustain that growth in our existing facilities for long. We would have to build a new building every two years to keep up with growth. Something had to be done.
Looking hard at our manufacturing process, we searched for ways to bring more efficiency to our operations. We were searching for a transformation of our culture. We looked into the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) process, an internationally recognized measure of quality in manufacturing and customer service, as a way to improve the quality of our manufacturing.
In 1996, we became the first U.S. commercial playground equipment manufacturer to become ISO 9001 certified, meeting an internationally recognized standard for high quality. Two years later, we earned ISO 14001 certification, becoming North America’s first playground manufacturer to meet rigorous standards of implementing an Environmental Management System intended to improve environmental performance.
