For each of the playgrounds they design, Pro-Landscape Structure Sdn Bhd needs to see the
world from a child’s perspective.
MeetMalaysia’smost successful playgroundbuilder anddesigner, Pro-LandscapeStructure
Sdn Bhd. This is the company behind all the creative play equipment seen in a majority
of parks, commercial and residential areas in the country. In a span of just over 10 years,
Pro-Landscape Structure has moved to the top of the market, being the most sought-after
builder of playgrounds andplay equipment in the country. Among their biggest clients include
SP Setia, Perbadanan Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) and

Weaving a Story from Children’s Fantasies into Reality
Pro-Landscape Structure Sdn Bhdwas conceptualised almost 10 years ago. Initially operating fromonly a
small shop lot with six to seven workers, the company, which was initially only manned by two partners,
took on the daunting task of building their business from scratch.
A positive outlook for the company was that
many old clients of the currentManagingDirector
trusted the ability to deliver their requirements,
andstrong supportwas givenwhenPro-Landscape
Structure was established.
The company’sundying thirst for success landed
them in a RM1.5 million contract with Seberang
Perai Municipal Council (MPSP), Penang in 2001.
The company was expected to complete the entire
project of buildingplay equipment for thewhole of
Seberang Perai. In a duration of threemonths, the
teamtirelesslyworked, doing everything fromA-Z
for days andnights todeliver above andbeyond the
normal level of expectation.
Like anynewbusiness ventures, Pro-Landscape
Structure too faced challenges in the initial stages.
The biggest challenge facedwas financial support.
Many banks were approached with hopes of
securing loans, but all attemptswere invain. Finally
after consistent attempts anda lot of patience, they
finally secured a loan.
