Looking to take your backyard fun to the next level—without the unsightly metal frame or safety concerns of a traditional trampoline? In-ground trampolines are the ultimate backyard upgrade, offering a safer, sleeker, and more landscape-friendly option. But before you start digging, there are a few things to know about the in-ground trampoline installation process.
That’s where Ogden Excavation comes in.

​Why Go In-Ground?
Safer for kids and families – Reduced fall risk compared to above-ground trampolines
Visually seamless – Blends beautifully into your backyard or landscape design
Lower maintenance – Less exposed framework means less weather-related wear
Easier access – No need for ladders or steps

 The Installation Process: Step by Step
1. Site Evaluation & Permitting (if required)
We’ll assess your yard for soil type, drainage, slope, and space. Some cities require basic permits—we’ll help you navigate the red tape.

2. Excavation
Using precision equipment, we excavate a level and perfectly sized hole for your trampoline, ensuring enough depth for airflow and bounce.

3. Drainage System Installation
Utah's snowmelt and rain require smart drainage. We install gravel beds, sump systems, or French drains to keep your trampoline pit dry and safe.

4. Retaining Wall or Pit Ring Installation
To prevent the sides from collapsing, we install a retaining wall or in-ground trampoline ring that supports the structure and extends its lifespan.

5. Final Fit & Safety Check
Once the frame is in, we secure everything, backfill any gaps, and run a complete safety check. Your trampoline is now ready for action!
