It is available for use as both a play bark and a landscaping product. Some of the products are fine for use as a soil improver whereas other larger nuggets are decorative. We also offer a variety of products as well as Bark Nuggets such as Compost Mulch, Turf Dressingand Soil Conditioners.

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.

Try visiting our Play Surfaceslistings or our range of Bark Mulchproducts.Frost resistance testing is called the Freeze/ Thaw test and is conducted by repeatedly freezing the paving to -40 Fahrenheit and then thawing it, before repeating the cycle again. During this process the paving will lose some of its flexibility and the key to good quality paving is that it does not lose a high level of resilience during the test cycle. Losses in Mpa should not exceed 5 Mpa

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% At AWBS we take our environmental responsibility very seriously and we endeavour to offer eco-friendly, recycled and secondary products as much as possible.

Allowing 10% for settlement.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).

This product is fully play certified and has been tested to BSEN 1177 for Critical Fall Height safety. 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. Fire resistant characteristics, confirmed by testing in accordance with BS 4790:1987, make Bark Nuggets particularly useful in areas of potential fire risk, e.g. car parks, vehicle fuel filling stations, adjacent to offices and pedestrian walk ways, housing estates etc
