FAQs
How much area does a 20kg bag cover?
A 20kg bag will typically cover approximately 0.4 square meters at a depth of 5cm.
Are these chippings suitable for a children's play area?
While the chippings are safe, they are not specifically designed for play areas. Consider the potential for the chippings to get into shoes and be tracked indoors.
How do I calculate how many bags I need?
Measure the length and width of the area you want to cover. Multiply these figures to find the area in square meters. Divide this total by the coverage of one bag (0.4 square meters) to estimate the number of bags needed.
Will the colour of the chippings fade over time?
The cream color of the Cotswold chippings is naturally durable. Some slight weathering may occur, but the overall color will remain consistent.
Can I use these chippings around plants?
Yes, these chippings are ideal for use around plants. They help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and provide an attractive finish.
How do I maintain the appearance of the chippings?
Regularly remove any debris or leaves. Top up the chippings as needed to maintain the desired depth and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Chippings appear dusty or have a film on them.
This is normal for a natural product. Allow rainfall to naturally wash the chippings. If needed, a gentle rinse with a hose can also help.
Chippings are not staying in place on a slope.
Consider using a retaining edge or border to keep chippings from moving. You might also need to use a geotextile membrane under the chippings.
Weeds are growing through the chippings.
Ensure a weed-suppressant membrane is installed before applying the chippings. Regularly remove any weeds that appear.
