Play Grade Surfaces

Play are bark is a great product that helps protect children when falling from a height in places such as playgrounds and gardens. Our FSC certified play area bark chippings and premium bark meet the two main standards to be qualified as play grade bark: they are ignition resistance and impact absorbing. All of our play area bark chippings and wood chips come from manufacturers that meet or even exceed these standards. The play area bark and premium play area bark can both be used as a border bark, both products will help protect plant roots, retain soil moisture and serves as a very effective weed suppressant mulch.

Our play area bark is a quality bark material with an 8-40 mm particle size, that can be used for private and public play areas as well as a general garden mulch. Bark is made from the soft outer layer of trees and is, therefore, a very safe surface for your children to play on. Play area bark has a pleasant dark brown and red appearance that is non-staining and offers great protection from frost for your flower beds. For private play areas, we would recommend a minimum depth of 10-15 centimetres and 15-30 centimetres for public areas. When used as a border bark, play area bark retains its colour and size longer than most other organic mulches. With regular raking, play area bark can last for years.
