Designing Places
Where Kids Can Be Kids
Playscapes is the playground arm of Gadd Group — landscape and environmental services on the Gold Coast since the 1990s.
The Story
Trees First.
Forts Second.
Gadd Group started as a landscaping outfit on the Gold Coast. Over time the playground side took on a life of its own — first as side-projects bolted onto landscape jobs, then as full standalone playgrounds for schools, councils and backyards.
Today, our team brings together more than 55 years of combined experience across landscape construction, custom carpentry, compliance and project management — all under one roof.
We work with sustainably sourced hardwoods, durable surfacing and tested play equipment — designed for the Australian climate, built for a generation of kids.

How We Work
Four Principles
We Don’t Flex On
- 01
Built Like Furniture
Cabinet-makers' standards on a cubby. Mortise-and-tenon where it matters; treated hardwood throughout.
- 02
Compliance Baked In
AS 4685 isn't an afterthought — fall heights, finger-traps and entrapment zones are sorted at the drawing stage.
- 03
Locally Sourced
Australian hardwoods, locally milled where we can. Less freight, longer life, better story.
- 04
One Team Top To Bottom
Carpenters, surfacers, riggers, planters — all in-house. Fewer subbies, fewer surprises.
