Anyone know of any materials that could be used for this.. around a

Ive found kid kushion at 2.5" for $26 for a 2x2 tile which is good for
6 feet.. but this is really expensive, even if I did just around the
clubhouse area that would be minimally 10 tiles if not more.

Any thoughts on alternatives?

I dont really want mulch.. I'd rather have my 1 year old eating grass
than rubber or bark lol


Actually cedar chips is what you want... Deep, about 6".

Any solid surface will hold nasty things like bird droppings and will
get hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

Cedar doesn't splinter or rot, so it's a good choice. You want the
fresh stuff, right out of the grinder, not mulch.
