Rubber chippings are becoming increasingly popular for gardens and play areas, and for good reason. They are versatile and durable, offering a sustainable solution that enhances safety and aesthetics. Whether you’re creating a safe play surface for children or upgrading your landscaping, rubber chippings are an excellent choice with numerous benefits.
1. Excellent Safety Features
One of the key reasons rubber chippings are so popular for play areas is their ability to cushion falls. They provide superior shock absorption, reducing the risk of injury for children playing on playground equipment. If safety is your priority, then our rubber chip options are a game changer.
2. Durability That Lasts for Years
Unlike organic materials such as wood bark, rubber chippings are highly durable. They resist weathering, don’t decompose, and can withstand heavy foot traffic. This makes them a long-term investment for gardens and play areas.
3. Sustainable Option
Rubber chippings are made from recycled tyres, making them a more sustainable choice, it gives waste materials a new lease on life, helping reduce landfill waste.
4. Low Maintenance
One of the main benefits of rubber chippings is their low-maintenance quality. They don’t rot or attract pests, meaning less time spent on upkeep. Plus, they don’t blow away as easily as lighter materials, keeping your garden or play area looking pristine with minimal effort. You can also rinse them down easily with a hose if they become muddy over time.
5. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Rubber chippings come in a variety of colours, allowing you to customise the look of your garden or play space. Whether you prefer a natural wood-like tone or a more vibrant finish, they can enhance the visual appeal of your outdoor areas. If you would like a more natural finish in your garden, we also have Hardwood Chippings and Softwood Chippings for an all-natural bark finish that will eventually break down.
6. Weed Suppression
Rubber chippings provide a natural barrier against weeds, reducing the need for chemical weed killers. This makes them a practical choice for landscaping while also being kinder to the environment. If you would like extra weed suppression, we recommend adding a heavy-duty geotextile membrane. This will also allow you to keep the rubber bark from sinking into the ground over time, and adding a rubber border edging can prevent it from spreading out of the designated area during play times.
7. Great Drainage Properties
Thanks to their non-porous nature, rubber play chippings allow water to drain through efficiently, preventing puddles in your garden or play area. This makes them ideal for outdoor spaces that need to stay functional even after heavy rain.
