Pine Play Bark

Safe, Easy-to-Maintain Pine Bark Chippings


Used by families, councils and commercial play areas across England and Wales, CPA Horticulture's pine play bark provides an attractive, easy-to-maintain and above all safe play area that guarantees a soft landing for your little ones.


As decorative as it is safe, our pine play bark lasts far longer than other barks and mulches, thanks to its clean, easy-to-drain and frost resistant properties. In fact, with annual raking, this bark will retain its colour and integrity for years to come!

We currently supply bulk loads of pine play bark to 15 councils throughout the UK. To see why, take a look at the benefits of this superb play surface.


Pine Play Bark: The Benefits

  • Decorative bark is an attractive alternative to synthetic play surfaces
  • Pine bark suppresses weed growth, reducing play area maintenance needs
  • Retains soil moisture and protects plant roots – helping your plants stay healthy while your children stay safe
  • Granular bark is proven to cushion impacts and reduce injury
  • Self-levelling, providing a safe surface even as the bark is disrupted during play
  • 100% organic, providing a pleasant aroma and colour
  • Pine play bark is proven not to stain clothes
  • Suitable for domestic and commercial use

Product Accreditation

  • FSC Certified Source
  • BS EN 4790: 1987 Fire Tested
  • BS EN 1177 Play Certificate

Product Composition

  • Pine bark
  • Less than 5% white wood
  • Minimal dust and fines – one of the cleanest surfaces around


For the best possible safety benefits, we recommend that commercial play areas have pine play bark to a depth of 300mm. For domestic use, the depth can be reduced to 150mm without compromising your children's safety. Please see the tested critical fall heights in the Specifictation section to determine your minimum depth requirements.

Are you building your own play area? We recommend reading our advice on what to consider when creating a play area.

Still undecided on which play surface meets all of your requirements? Our play area surface comparison will help!

And don't forget, you can order a sample bag of our pine play bark for just £3.50!

Delivery on time and very grateful to driver for leaving the pallet exactly where required even though I was not present. This Playbark has always proved to be fine for our childrens play area, and arrives in 70L bags, very convenient for us to spread out around the play equipment.

The delivery driver delivered to the place specified and came within the time slot. However, the pre delivery service was not as accepted as we had no confirmation email or text to confirm the delivery was on its way or a two hour time slot, in the end we rang to find out. Product great, delivery driver great, communication poor.

Extremely good product - thank you, will probably order again. However, delivery not so good. Delivery company driver did not believe they could get their large lorry onto my farm, despite my saying they could (I 26 tonne lorries and loaders delivering regularly) so were unable to unload pallet where required. Driver was not particularly helpful. Also, delivery was a day earlier than I requested which, fortunately, was not a problem as I was able to arrange for someone to be here to receive the delivery.

The products are great but the delivery service is really poor. I haven't received the product and you are asking me to review it. The product is 5 days late and when i called Friday late afternoon to say it hadnt arrived and was told it would be there in an hour I felt like I was being fobbed off as it was Friday and they couldn't be bothered. Didn't arrive and surprise surprise they had gone home when I tried to call back.

Delivered on time by a helpful man who transported the pallet as near to my gate as possible. The woodchip is 'just woddchip'. I say this because I had ordered woodchip before from another company and it was more like mulch and I ended up putting on my borders. This looks and smells lovely.

Asked for a 7.5 ton delivery truck. The one that arrived was 18tons and could not get the the gate yet alone into the drive. Delivery on time as promised and driver very helpful. Greater percentage of striped bark rather than pine bark as shown in the website but still meets the requirements. Second part of the order did not arrive and will have to make enquiries as to what happened to it.
