Ideal Applications for Budget 20mm Chippings

  • Garden borders, edging and decorative beds

  • Pathways, stepping‐stone surrounds and patio infills

  • Play areas or light‐use outdoor zones

  • Commercial landscaping projects where budget and coverage matter

Whether you’re completing a DIY garden refresh or specifying landscaping materials for a commercial site, these chippings give you strong performance without premium price.


Important Features to Consider

When comparing options for standard 20 mm rubber chippings, look for:

  • Consistent 20 mm grain size for uniform coverage

  • Clear bag size and m² coverage information so you can accurately calculate amount needed

  • Good colour stability and weather resistance for long-lasting appearance

  • Ease of installation and minimal settling or migration after laying

  • Suitable compatibility with existing base or membrane for smoother install

These attributes ensure you get both value and long-term performance.


How to Choose the Right Amount and Product

To make sure you get the best outcome, take into account:

  • Surface area: Measure the length and width of the area and calculate depth (20 mm) to determine volume required.

  • Traffic and use: Light foot traffic and decorative use are ideal for this spec; heavy load areas may benefit from deeper or denser chippings.

  • Colour and aesthetic: Budget grade still offers attractive finishes, but if you want bold or luxury colour options, premium lines may suit better.

  • Base condition: Ensure the substrate or membrane is clean and level for best results and reduced future maintenance.

  • Coverage depth: At 20 mm, you reduce height build-up and maintain cleaner transitions with borders or patios.

Smart product selection ensures your project looks good and stays cost-efficient.


Installation Tips for Best Results

For a successful and long-lasting installation of budget 20 mm chippings:

  1. Clear the area of weeds, debris and old surfacing material.

  2. Lay a suitable membrane if required to suppress weeds and improve stability.

  3. Spread the rubber chippings evenly to the recommended depth of 20 mm using a rake.

  4. Use edging or restraints at borders and pathways to keep chippings contained.

  5. Inspect after installation for any loose patches and rake to uniform appearance if needed.

  6. Periodically check and top up where settlement or displacement has occurred to maintain finish.

With minimal upkeep, your surface will look fresh and perform well for years.
