The firm is working with Aberdeen City Council and has developed an outdoor nursery in both Duthie Park and Hazlehead Park.
David Halliday, managing director, said: “Features such as riverbeds are more interesting places to learn about things like the movement of water than a sink or bowl.
“The focus is very much on natural play and features such as slopes, logs and mud pits have proven more involving than artificial plastic and man-made play structures.”
