For most applications, a depth of 2-5cm is recommended. This provides good coverage and allows for easy maintenance.

How do I maintain the appearance of the chippings?

Use a weed barrier fabric before laying the chippings to prevent weed growth. Regular maintenance, such as removing any visible weeds, is also helpful.

Are the chippings safe for pets and children?

How long will the color of the chippings last?
