Woodchip for Play Areas
Woodchip earns its place in play areas by doing several important jobs at once, without turning the space into something sterile or synthetic. Our wood chip is sourced locally from virgin, whole tree wood and is free from contaminates. Here’s some reasons to consider woodchip for play areas:
Impact absorption for safer falls
Children fall. Woodchip cushions those tumbles, helping reduce the severity of injuries compared with harder surfaces.
Naturally non-slip
In wet or dry conditions, woodchip provides reliable traction, which means fewer skids during enthusiastic running.
Encourages natural play environments
Woodchip blends into outdoor spaces and supports nature-based play. It feels like part of the landscape rather than an imposed surface.
Good drainage
Water filters through instead of pooling, so play areas stay usable after rain and don’t become muddy hazards.
