It is best not to use loose-fill materials such
as wood chips, mulch, pea gravel, shredded tires,
and sand because of the high maintenance required.
•General rule:
loose fill surfacing must be maintained at a depth
of 12 inches especially in heavily used areas under swings and at the
bottom of slides.
•Loose-fill surfacing
must be cleaned regularly to removed glass and other debris
Do use unitary surfacing such as rubber
tiles, mats, or poured surfaces.
