FAQs
How much do I need?
A 0.3m² bag will cover a small area. Measure the area you want to cover and calculate the volume needed based on the depth of the chippings (typically 2-3 inches).
How do I prevent weeds?
Lay a weed membrane before applying the chippings for effective weed control.
How long will the chippings last?
The chippings are durable, but you may need to top them up every 1-2 years depending on usage and weather conditions.
Are these chippings suitable for driveways?
These chippings are better suited for pathways and decorative areas rather than driveways, as they may not be as stable under heavy vehicle traffic.
How do I clean the chippings?
Remove any debris by hand or with a leaf blower. You can also rinse them with a hose.
Can I use these chippings with pets?
Yes, but ensure your pets don't ingest the chippings, as they can cause digestive issues.
Troubleshooting
Chippings are uneven or have settled.
Rake the chippings to redistribute them evenly and top up low areas.
Weeds are growing through the chippings.
Remove weeds manually or consider using a weed membrane underneath the chippings.
Chippings are washing away.
Ensure proper edging is in place and avoid laying chippings on excessively sloped areas. Consider a thicker layer.
