We have a small courtyard garden at our London home and need to generate an area for our small children to play in, but don’t want to put shingle down as it could hurt them and Bark chippings will stain their clothes, what do you suggest?

The child friendly “RubberScape” looks like bark chippings but made form rubber which we have successfully used in the past. It is colourful, dries out quickly after a rainfall and does not rot. A good bet we think.
