SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable Practices

At GRG Playscapes, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We repurpose the invasive Black Locust tree—sanding each piece to highlight its natural beauty and durability. Its whimsical form and rot resistance make it ideal for play. We also design around existing equipment, reducing waste while blending traditional elements with nature-based features for a cohesive and lasting play experience.

WATER MANAGEMENT

Water management has been a core focus for GRG Playscapes since our beginnings as Greener Roofs and Gardens. Today, we continue that mission by integrating bioswales and other sustainable solutions into natural play environments—supporting groundwater recharge and site resilience. Through ongoing collaborations with Reflo, Green & Healthy Schools Wisconsin, and various design teams, we’ve helped transform numerous Milwaukee Public School campuses, combining nature-based play with impactful stormwater management.
