Why Choose Rubber Chippings Over Bark, Wood Chip, or Gravel?

  • No rot or decomposition — rubber chippings last decades without topping up; bark and wood chip rot within 1-3 years
  • No splinters — children and pets can play safely; bark chips and wood mulch frequently produce dangerous splinters
  • Excellent drainage — water passes through instantly; no puddles or waterlogging
  • Weed suppression — effective weed barrier without herbicides
  • Cushioning — provides fall protection for play areas when installed at adequate depth
  • Eco-friendly — manufactured from recycled rubber that would otherwise go to landfill
  • Colour stability — UV-stable colourant resists fading for years
  • Low maintenance — requires only occasional raking to redistribute chippings

Applications

  • Children's play areas — coloured rubber chippings provide safe, cushioned fall protection beneath swings, climbing frames, and play equipment
  • Garden borders and beds — weed suppression and decorative coverage in garden design
  • Pathways — stable, low-maintenance path surfacing that won't spread or wash away
  • Equestrian arenas — rubber chippings mixed with sand provide an all-weather arena surface
  • School grounds — colourful, safe surfacing for school gardens and nature areas
  • Commercial landscaping — low-maintenance ground cover for public spaces and business landscaping

Frequently Asked Questions

Are rubber chippings safe for children?

Yes — rubber chippings are widely used in UK playground safety surfacing as an alternative to bark mulch. They contain no toxic chemicals in the bonded form, produce no splinters, and provide cushioning fall protection. For public playground installations, verify that the chippings meet BS EN 1177 requirements at the specified depth for your equipment's Critical Fall Height.

Do rubber chippings fade in colour?

Quality rubber chippings use UV-stable colourants that resist fading significantly better than painted or dyed alternatives. Some gradual colour lightening occurs over many years, but the chippings remain coloured and attractive for considerably longer than painted bark or coloured gravel alternatives.

How deep should rubber chippings be installed?

For decorative garden borders and pathway use, 50-75mm depth is recommended. For play area fall protection under playground equipment, a minimum of 75mm installed depth is typically required — check BS EN 1177 test data for your specific product to confirm the Critical Fall Height at the installed depth, as this varies between products.

Will rubber chippings harm plants?

Rubber chippings do not add nutrients to soil, and there is evidence that high concentrations of rubber mulch can leach trace compounds in wet conditions. For established plants and trees used as decorative mulch, rubber chippings perform well. For newly planted seedlings or edible crops where root contact is involved, we recommend using organic mulch alternatives. Rubber chippings are excellent around established shrubs, hedging, and ornamental planting.
