Help Me Prep Our Yard for Swingset
DH and I did it - we ordered a swingset for DS. It's a Rainbow castle one that he will hopefully use. It should be delivered and installed in the next 3-4 weeks. But we aren't sure exactly what we need to do to prep our yard and quite honestly, I'm not sure I believe the guy who sold it to us. He told us that we didn't have to do anything - the installers could deal with any slope (we have a slight one where we would like to put it) and that we would add our mulch or pea gravel after it's installation.
So, my question is, what did you do to prep your yard for installation? The catalog states that we must have the yard ready for installation but it doesn't say what that truly means.
Thanks for your help. I'm clueless.

I apologize for hijacking, but thought that it would make more sense than starting a new thread.
This feels like a very dumb question, but if you install the swingset directly on the ground as recommended and then add the pea gravel, don't you lose some of the height of the swingset? We are dealing with a very annoying, uneven yard and I think that we will have to dig down about a foot. This is feeling like a huge undertaking and I am overwhelmed.
"WatchingThemGrow" and "LBW", could you give more specifics about your site preparation (no detail is too small!)
Thanks...
