It depends on whether there is a membrane under it - if so, she can choose sand or rubber. If there is no membrane, sand will trickle through the stone layer so she would be best with rubber chips. Take a tip from me - remove all the woodchip first. I just topped mine with rubber and the woodchip is gradually breaking down into compost-like material which holds water. I am hoping it will rot away altogether before too much longer but wish I had removed it before the rubber was added.

There is a membrane so sand should work. Any idea on cost?

Yes we did, we had all the surface and membrane taken off and redone with sand and PVC it cost just under £ 5000
