Two published frames, named apart and never blended
| Frame | What it prices | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame A (total installed cost) | entry tier, total installed | $700-$1,850 |
| Frame A (total installed cost) | mid-market standard tier, total installed | $2,750-$4,800 |
| Frame A (total installed cost) | ultra-premium tier, total installed | $5,900-$9,200+ |
| Frame B (labor only) | in-ground installation, full excavation | $1,500-$3,500+ |
| Frame B (labor only) | professional labor, by tier | $800-$3,500 |
Neither frame is folded into the other, and no line is averaged into a blended figure. Frame A reads the project as a total with the unit inside it; Frame B reads labor alone, unit priced separate. The form comparison prices on the in-ground vs. above-ground guide; the labor layer on the labor and site prep guide.
Size class, priced apart in Frame A
| Size line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| 12-foot round, total installed | Frame A | $2,099-$3,250 |
| 14-foot round, total installed | Frame A | $2,949-$4,400 |
| 16-foot round, total installed | Frame A | $3,700-$6,400+ |
| Unit and springs, entry to premium tiers | Frame A | $400-$2,500 |
Size class is the first split on the published cost guide: the 12-foot round at the floor of the size table, the 14-foot round in the middle, and the 16-foot round at the top. The unit and springs line prints apart inside the same frame, by tier.
Unit, wall, drainage, and disposal lines, as reported cost lines only
| Component line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Retaining wall panels, by tier | Frame A | $150 / $400 / $700 |
| Excavation equipment rental, mid tier | Frame A | $250-$400 |
| Subsurface drainage, basic to premium class | Frame A | $50-$800 |
| Dirt disposal and haul-away, mid to premium tier | Frame A | $150-$700 |
Every site figure here prints as a cost line only, each priced apart on the labor and site prep guide. Orange County quotes name the local shapes: year-round backyard use on suburban lots, HOA-governed placements, and premium springless-class systems whose owners price the excavation-and-set service as a purchased line.
The backyard playground neighbour prices a different project, differentiated head-on
One live page sits nearest this cluster and prices a different purchase. The backyard playground guide prices a play structure and swing set project; it never prices a trampoline, and no trampoline line appears on it. The bocce court and the basketball hoop are named here as sibling backyard builds on their own pages, again never as trampoline installers. This cluster prices an in-ground trampoline alone.
Reading the two frames on one quote
A complete quote names its frame, its tier, and its size class on every line; folding a labor-only line into a total installed figure mixes frames.
- Frame named on every line: total installed or labor only
- Unit tier and size class named beside every total
- Wall, drainage, and disposal lines shown apart, never folded in
- Marketplace assembly postings read as labor lines, never as totals
