FAQs
How much area does a 20Kg bag cover?
Coverage varies based on depth. A 20Kg bag typically covers approximately 0.3-0.4 square meters at a depth of 50mm.
What is the best way to calculate how many chippings I need?
Measure the area you want to cover (length x width). Then, determine the desired depth and calculate the volume. Use the coverage information to estimate the number of bags needed.
Do I need to use a weed membrane?
Using a weed membrane is highly recommended as it helps prevent weed growth, improving the longevity of your landscaping project.
How do I maintain the color of the chippings?
Rake the chippings regularly to remove any debris and to maintain an even distribution. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Can I use these chippings for a patio?
These chippings are not recommended for patios. They are best suited for walkways, driveways, and decorative borders.
Are these chippings suitable for a slope?
Yes, but be sure to consider the slope angle when calculating the depth and consider using a retaining border.
How long will the chippings last?
With proper installation and maintenance, the chippings can last for many years.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the base is properly compacted and consider adding a border to contain the chippings. Rake the area regularly.
