Product Certifications and Standards

No one sets the bar higher

At Landscape Structures, we're proud to lead the way and promote healthy lifestyles for children and families, a cleaner environment and strong communities. We're a founding member of the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA™), an organization that ensures quality and safety for all playground equipment. In addition, we are certified to both ISO 9001: 2008 and ISO 14001: 2004 standards, which help ensure that each of our products is safe for children and the environment and that our equipment is consistently manufactured to the highest quality standards. In fact, we were the first North American playground equipment manufacturer to be ISO:14001 certified.
