Gonna have a look online x

---

@iata278 Before we did our garden like this, we used Pemba Garden carpet from Grass247. co. uk and that lasted really well and would easily sit nicely on your area! So I'd be inclined to take a look at that too!  

---

@crassus91739 Williams ok hun, will have a look. Got the hubby at home for another 3 weeks so he has no excuse  

---

@iata278 Haha yes have fun! It will look fab with what ever you choose! Enjoy making him work  My husband only did our garden a couple of weeks ago! x

---

@crassus91739 Williams thank you, I've got most of the garden done whilst he has been at home. 3 more weeks and all the jobs I've asked him to do should be done x

---

@crassus91739 Williams did you lay the carpet straight onto concrete? We have a patio area that I want to make safer for the kids and the carpet is much cheaper than fake grass.  

---

@crassus91739 Williams where did you get the chippings from? How much did it cost? X

---

@crassus91739 Williams can i ask where you got tht lovely swing nd climbing frame from plz id love one for my grandson and are they expensive

Answer 19

What about small pebbles? They have this at a play park we go to and it’s soft if the kids fall x

Answer 20

We used rubber clippings from a company called play bark. I really recommend. It doesn't hurt if my little one falls over either.  

Answer 21

Cats poop in rubber chippings also unfortunately. We were recommended them. It did nothing to stop them at all.  

Answer 22

Cats will poop on anything if they are inclined. Mine poos in the middle of my lawn  even though we have flower beds, bark and I have a cat house for her with a litter box in to try and stop her going on the lawn but she doesn’t care. I’m just glad it’s in my garden and not a neighbours!  

Comments

@defamatory they're so arrogant haha

---

@cotquean they are. They really do not care  only thing that makes it not so bad is we have a puppy as well and her poop is so much worse to pick up that a cat.  

Answer 23

I just brought rubber chippings for my little one

Answer 24

Fake grass

Answer 25

You can buy big squares of rubber matting from the range that piece together? X

Answer 26

Comments

Answer 27

Answer 28

Answer 29

We had green rubber chippings. Was great for the kids.  

Answer 30

I've got The same problem with the pea gravel in my garden. Id opt for rubber matts

Comments

It's a toss up between mats or grass

---

@iata278 I'm sure what ever you go for in the end will look great. The only thing that puts me off fake grass /astro turf etc is that I've heard people say it can be a pain to clean especially if an animal decides to do it's buissness on it. I'd imagine the rubber tiles being easier to clean  x

---

@cowboy45243 Reynolds yes that's what I worry about. I will just have to get some good cleaner in that doesnt hurt the animals. And thank you xx

Answer 31

Artificial grass would look lovely
