Product Details

Transform your playground, garden, or landscaping project with Premium Moss Green Rubber Chippings — the eco-friendly, low-maintenance alternative to traditional bark mulch that delivers superior safety, durability, and year-round colour. Made from recycled rubber, these chippings provide a certified soft-fall surface for playground use while eliminating the rot, fungal growth, and annual replenishment costs associated with organic alternatives.

Why Choose Rubber Chippings Over Bark Mulch?

Traditional bark mulch has been the default playground surface for decades, but rubber chippings offer compelling advantages that are driving adoption in UK schools, parks, and domestic gardens:

Feature	Bark Mulch	Rubber Chippings
Lifespan	1–2 years (rots)	10+ years
Maintenance	Annual top-up required	No replenishment needed
Fungal risk	Artillery fungus common	No fungal growth
Insect habitat	Attracts ants, slugs	No pest attraction
Colour stability	Fades to grey/brown	Colour-stable for years
All-weather performance	Degrades in wet UK winters	Unaffected by weather
Critical fall protection	Compacts over time	Maintains consistent depth

Key Features & Benefits

Certified soft-fall performance — suitable as a critical fall height surface beneath playground equipment when installed to specified depth
Vibrant moss green colour — UV-stable; maintains colour for years without fading, unlike bark which turns grey within months
Made from recycled rubber — eco-friendly use of recycled tyre material; reduces landfill and supports circular economy
10+ year lifespan — rubber does not rot, compact, or biodegrade; one installation lasts years without replenishment
No maintenance — no annual top-up or replacement; minimal raking to redistribute after heavy use
Pest-free — rubber provides no food, moisture, or habitat for ants, slugs, woodlice, or the artillery fungus that plagues bark mulch
All-weather performance — unaffected by UK winters; does not freeze solid or become waterlogged
Weed suppression — dense rubber chippings suppress weed growth beneath the surface

Depth Guide for Playground Safety

For use as a critical fall height surface in children's playground equipment areas, the following depths are typically recommended (confirm with your specific equipment manufacturer):

Up to 1.5m critical fall height: Minimum 150mm depth of rubber chippings
Up to 2.0m critical fall height: Minimum 200mm depth
Up to 3.0m critical fall height: Minimum 250–300mm depth

For general garden border and landscaping use, 50–75mm depth is sufficient for weed suppression and visual coverage. See BS EN 1177 for full playground surfacing standards: BS EN 1177 Playground Safety Guide.

How Much Do You Need?

Calculate volume required: Length (m) × Width (m) × Depth (m) = Volume in m³. For example, a 4m × 3m playground area to 150mm depth requires: 4 × 3 × 0.15 = 1.8m³. Contact us for volume pricing on large playground projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are rubber chippings safe for children?

Yes — recycled rubber chippings have been assessed under EU REACH regulations and are widely used in playground applications. They do not contain heavy metals above safe thresholds and are non-toxic under normal playground use conditions. See: Is Recycled Rubber Flooring Safe for Children? UK Guide.

Will the colour run or stain clothing?

The moss green colour is a dye-stable rubber compound, not a surface coat. Colour transfer is minimal and does not cause permanent staining to clothing under normal conditions.

Can I use rubber chippings in a garden border?

Yes — rubber chippings are widely used in garden borders for weed suppression, moisture retention (they don't absorb much water themselves, but reduce evaporation from soil below), and visual colour. They do not decompose or need replacing like organic mulch.
