We'd really rather not. Generally we never want to salvage old equipment. It often has serious compliance issues and we just don't think we should extend their lifetimes. If you would like to keep some old equipment for any reason, it’s fine to have someone remove it before we start your installation.
No. These two types of impact absorbing materials work in different ways. Pea gravel absorbs impacts by the manner in which the pieces of stone are able to move and roll across each other. Chip absorbs impacts by forming a "mat" of springy material with lots of air in it. If you mix the two types they cancel each other out and make a surface much harder than either alone.
If you think there is a security threat to items on the ground waiting to be installed, arrange to have a storage container (like the new "PODS") dropped prior to delivery and unload right into it. We will use it until the installation is complete keeping everything secure. It's always a good idea to inform neighborhood law enforcement personnel about your plans and ask them to keep an eye out.
Rubber swing mats on top of loose materials usually solves this problem.
