Safe Sand Company provides Natural Playground Woodchips for high quality playground surfacing designed, tested, and approved to meet the necessary certifications outlined by ASTM* (F1292, F2075, & F1951) and ADA** for fall protection, hazards, and wheelchair access. Sand is wonderful for sandboxes, but Natural Playground Woodchips are the preferred surfacing material across the USA.
Natural Playground Woodchips have many advantages including:
- Impact-absorbing playground surfaces offer more cushioning than concrete, asphalt, wood, gravel, or packed dirt.
- Engineered wood fiber materials which are third-party certified to ASTM and ADA standards for playground surfaces are guaranteed to meet federal legal requirements for public playground areas.
- Natural Playground Woodchips are made primarily from natural virgin wood by-products. Choosing a natural wood alternative to recycled tire mulch avoids the risk of leaching potentially toxic chemicals into the environment.
- Natural Playground Woodchips biodegrade slowly, resisting wear after many years of play in varying weather and environmental conditions – such as extreme heat and cold, rain, wind, and snow.
- Natural Playground Woodchips have excellent drainage properties allowing water to quickly drain so the surface is dry and ready for play.
