FAQs

How much do I need?

Calculate the area you want to cover (length x width) and then multiply that by the depth (5-7 cm). Use an online calculator for precise estimates.

Are these chippings suitable for driveways?

While they can be used, they may not be ideal for high-traffic areas due to potential displacement. Consider a more durable material for driveways.

How do I clean the chippings?

Rake to remove debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals. A gentle wash with water can help.

Do the chippings fade over time?

The color may lighten in the sun, but the material is durable. Raking can help refresh their appearance.

Can I use these chippings with pets?

Yes, but ensure the chippings are properly installed and avoid sharp edges that could cause injury.

What is the delivery process?

For pallet quantity deliveries, a kerbside carrier service is provided. Ensure someone is available to receive the delivery.

How long will the chippings last?

With proper care and installation, these chippings can last for many years.

Troubleshooting

Chippings appear discolored or faded.

Rake the chippings to redistribute and refresh the color. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can cause discoloration.

Weeds are growing through the chippings.

Apply a weed killer and/or install a weed membrane before laying down the chippings.

Chippings are sinking or shifting.

Ensure the base is compacted and that the chippings are laid to the correct depth. Consider adding a stabilizing layer of gravel or sand underneath.
