This is the time of year to let us help you endure the season with our 100% recycled and recyclable AHS Paving Grid. It is perfect for high traffic areas and pathways, and for agricultural applications for heavy machinery. In play-schemes, when specific 'play bark' is used at the required depth, the natural cushioning ability of bark helps to protect children against injury, provides slip resistance and in most cases, prevents friction burns. It also introduces a tactile texture into the playground environment which in itself can enhance enjoyment of the play area. Retains moisture in the soil and helps to prevent water loss due to evaporation, which reduces the need for frequent watering. This product is completely free of any trace of methyl bromide contamination and is free of all foreign matter such as metal, glass, plastic and any other extraneous materials.

There is no point installing stone that does not meet the specified criteria for outdoor surfaces as it will be dangerous and not at all suited to purpose. Maritime Pine has gone through rigourous screening processes to remove the vast majority of elastic and stringier particles, leaving a beautiful chipped product (similar to our British Deluxe Pine) available in four sizes:The water absorption test measures the amount of water a stone can hold when fully saturated. This is expressed as a percentage of the total weight. So, a result of 1% means that when fully saturated, 1% of a stone’s weight will be water. As a guide, paving such as porcelain is usually less than 0.5% porosity, granite is around 0.5%, sandstone and limestone are in the region of 1-3% and concrete, 6% For playgrounds, the depth will depend on the surface on which the bark is to be laid. Spread Pine Bark Nuggets to a depth of 20cm (8″) over a soil surface, 25cm (10″) over a tarmac surface and 30cm (12″) over a concrete surface. Raking over will help give a more even appearance.

Over time, bark may become compacted and prevent water and nutrients from reaching plant roots. It will need digging into the soil where it can break down gradually. This pine bark is most suitable for prestigious areas where a long lasting high visual impact is required.The ramp test (R rating) is often used for porcelain paving and this is conducted using a ramp which is gradually raised. Oil is applied to the ramp and a test person walks onto the ramp wearing boots. The measurement is taken from the point at which they slip. R11 is the rating usually applied to porcelain paving and this is equivalent to the value of 34 to 51 in the PTV test data (pendulum test value). Other products can still be split down for you, but cannot be calculated online. For these, follow the on-screen prompts. In summary: Spread Pine Bark Nuggets to a depth of 25mm (1″). 50mm (2″) is required for effective weed suppression. Raking over will help give a more even appearance. Leave a gap of approximately 25mm-50mm (1″-2″) between the bark and base of the plant, to protect delicate plants.
