Frequently Asked Questions

Our Takura Mulch is a certified softfall ground cover that is suitable for playgrounds, play areas, schools and childcare centres, and impact cushioning under play equipment. Its unique look and fine texture also make it a suitable choice for landscaping projects and garden beds.

Yes, our Takura Softfall Mulch is a Certified Softfall mulch compliant with Australian Standard AS 4422:2016. This standard assesses loose-fill playground surfacing materials for cushioning falls and reducing the risk of injury.

A compliance certificate for this product is available on request.

When used in playgrounds, always follow Australian Standard guidelines for loose-fill surfaces. Minimum depths typically start at 300mm, depending on the potential fall height.

Before installation, have the following information on hand: fall height, equipment type, and required safety compliance (schools or councils may have their own set of standards).

To calculate how much Takura Softfall Mulch you need for your project, measure the length and width of the area where the mulch will be placed.

Next, determine the desired depth of the mulch. For certified softfall applications, we recommend a minimum installation depth of 300mm to maintain compliance and safety requirements. If you are topping up an existing softfall area, ensure the mulch depth is restored to at least 300mm.

Once you have your length, width, and depth measurements, you can use our cubic metre calculator above or calculate the volume manually using the following formula:

Volume = Length × Width × Height

Yes, Takura Softfall Mulch requires regular maintenance and occasional topping up to maintain its safety properties. If the mulch is being used in schools, childcare centres, parks, or other public play areas, the softfall depth should generally be maintained between 200–300mm.

Regular raking is recommended to prevent compaction and maintain an even surface. Monthly depth checks should also be carried out. Once the mulch depth falls below 200mm, it is time to top it up.

If you are using Takura Mulch as a decorative garden mulch rather than a certified softfall surface, a yearly top-up is generally sufficient.
