Rubber Chippings Puppy Dog Outdoor Play Surface Covering - All Colours

Rubber chippings and rubber bark provide dogs with a safer, cleaner, and more comfortable surface to enjoy. Ideal for new puppies tearing around the garden and older dogs that need a softer surface to play on. Our rubber bark has a soft texture under paw, helps cushion joints and reduces the chance of scrapes or slips.

Cleaning is simple. A light rake or a quick rinse is usually enough. It dries fast, keeps the space tidy and cuts down on the daily back-and-forth of wiping paws and scrubbing floors.

Some dogs chew or dig at anything loose, especially when they are young. Rubber bark is less tempting than natural materials, and it does not break down or attract pests; no fleas, no mould, no worry.

Available in Multiple Colours

• Grey – A smart, modern finish that blends well with stone, gravel and paving.
• Brown – A classic, earthy tone that looks like real bark but lasts much longer.
• Red – Rich and warm in appearance, ideal for defining paths, zones or borders.
• Blue – Crisp and calming, perfect for themed areas.
• Green – Natural and soft, blends easily with lawns, hedges and planted areas.

How to Prepare your Puppy Garden

Laying rubber chippings or rubber bark is straightforward and doesn't need specialist tools. Follow our basic steps for a tidy, long-lasting finish:

1. Prepare the area
Clear away weeds, grass and any loose debris. If necessary, level the ground using a rake or spade to create a smooth, even surface.

2. Add a weed membrane
Lay down a good quality weed membrane across the area. This helps stop growth coming through and keeps the surface looking clean.

3. Pour and spread the rubber
Tip the rubber chippings or bark onto the surface and spread them out evenly with a rake. Aim for a depth of around 40 to 50 millimetres for best results.

4. Compact if needed
Light foot traffic or gentle pressure from a garden roller will help the pieces settle into place. Over time, the material will naturally bed in and create a smooth, stable layer.
