I would love some input in what to do with an area at the back of our garden which measures roughly 6 x 4. OUr garden is split into three areas, a decked area; followed by a grassed area, and then the 6 x4 area right at the end.
At the moment it is covered in that hard slate chips.
We want to move the trampoline to this area, and make it a play area so are looking for ways to cover this area, that look good, and provide a nice surface to play on. There is a big tree in that spot, and as the trampoline will effectively take up 1/3 of the space, i dont think laying grass is an option.
I looked into quotes about laying artifical turf, but that comes in over £1200 - £1500.
I have called in two local gardeners and they said that the cheapest option is to put bark down - i am worried about this, as we do have the occasional foxes and cats in our garden and i am sure i read somewhere that it can be a nightmare if they start using it as a toilet! HAs anyone used bark and have any thoughts on this?
I guess that leaves the other possibility of laying down those plastic/rubber squares you see in playgrounds - has anyone done this and can recommend a person/organisation / type of cost this might involve.
Or is there something i have not thought about ....
I desperately need some inspiration on this ....
Thanks
