Q. I wonder if you can advise on suitable surfaces for a children's play area (playhouse, slide etc). We are not so keen on lawn as the shape of the area is long and thin and therefore difficult to mow - what alternative surfaces would you recommend?

A. The easiest material to use is either natural wood "play-bark", bark chips selected to be larger and softer than those used as a mulch, or man made rubber chips. The rubber chips are initially more expensive than bark though won't rot down and may be the cheaper long-term solution, play-bark will need topping up every couple of years or so. Both will wear, compress and get squashed into the soil, they may also need to be dug up and disposed off at some point in the future, bark will rot away while some rubber chips will be with you forever!. To be effective it needs to be placed at a depth of 6" / 15cm which means that:

    1/ You need a lot!

    2/ You need some kind of edging material to keep it in place. I favour rustic logs laid down if I can get them. If not, then rustic fencing posts are good, use one on top of another both nailed or screwed to large pegs knocked into the ground. Log roll could be used or even gravel boards or scaffolding planks. The main thing is to make sure they're supported strongly enough - that's where tree trunks / logs are good, as the children are bound to at least step on them if not make a game out of walking along the edge.

    3/ You might want to place a weed-proof membrane under the bark to stop weeds growing through it.

As you'll need a lot look locally for a bulk materials merchant who sells it by the 1 cubic metre bag, if you buy it in poly sacks it'll cost a fortune. Don't underestimate the job of installing it all either.
