FAQs

How much area does a bulk bag cover?

Are these chippings suitable for a high-traffic area?

The 40mm size may not be ideal for high-traffic areas. Consider the expected use and weight when deciding where to use the chippings.

How do I clean the chippings?

Rake the chippings regularly to remove debris. For a deeper clean, you can hose them down.

Can I use these chippings around plants?

What is the lifespan of these chippings?

Are the chippings safe for pets?

Yes, but it's advisable to supervise pets, especially initially, to prevent them from ingesting the chippings.

What if the chippings are not the right size for my project?

Consider the application. For driveways, smaller sizes may be more suitable. For gardens and rockeries, the 40mm size is usually suitable.

Troubleshooting
