We have a swing set that is currently on lawn on heavy clay soil. It is unusable in the winter as it just turns to mud. I am thinking of replacing the lawn under the swing area. Which of the following options do people think would work best?
A) Bark chips - cheap but would presumably need topping up and get moved under swing
B) Rubber chips - more expensive but would not rot. Would still get displaced
C) Rubber mat that lawn grows through - might sink into the clay?
D) Artificial grass - expensive and not great for the environment
Any ideas? I am erring towards the mat. Has anyone used this?
