Rubber Mulch


Recycled Rubber Mulch is an innovative and eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood mulch for landscaping and playgrounds. Compared to wood mulch, rubber mulch is safer, more cost-effective, durable, environmentally-friendly and lower-maintenance. Plus, rubber mulch is clean - minimizing airborne dust and particles. Available in seven fade-resistant colors, rubber mulch is a superior solution for every playground and landscaping project.

Rubber Mulch is Smarter
Because you do not have to re-apply rubber mulch every year, you can save up to 65% over 5 years compared to traditional wood mulch. You save not only the costs of buying new mulch, but also on the labor of re-applying it on a yearly basis.

Rubber Mulch is Stronger

Unlike wood mulch, rubber mulch doesn't splinter, is resistant to decomposition, compression, wind and water erosion, bug and rodent infestation, and fading caused by sunlight. Rubber mulch lasts up to 10 times longer and retains its color and vibrancy while not staining clothes or skin - even in the rain.

Rubber Mulch is Safer
A softer surface than traditional wood mulch, impact studies have shown a significant reduction in contusion and head-related injuries, with an IPEMA ASTM F1292-09 Certification for fall heights up to 16 feet.  Extensive testing by the EPA and certification by the IPEMA supports rubber mulch as environmentally-friendly and safe for your kids and pets. Rubber mulch also offers ADA-Qualified wheelchair accessibility.

Playground

As playground safety surfacing,  a 6-inch layer will cushion a child’s fall from as high as 16 feet. With more than 200,000 children injured each year as a result of playground falls (as reported by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Council), safety surfacing is the most vital component of playground construction. Our rubber mulch has been certified by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA).

Landscaping

Landscapers have relied upon organic mulch as groundcover for hundreds of years for one simple reason: There was no better alternative. Now, with the introduction of a smarter solution, landscapers are embracing rubber mulch for its classic style and unparalleled performance.

Rubber mulch is a high-performance landscaping material, requiring re-application less often by remaining bright and plush – and in place:

Because you won't need to re-mulch for up to 12 years, you save on the costs of buying new mulch and on the labor of re-applying it on a yearly basis.

Today, smart solutions save not only time and money, but the environment as well. As a green alternative, rubber mulch saves trees and provides an outlet for keeping millions of scrap tires out of landfills each year.

Rubber mulch helps Americans recycle and reuse 89.3 percent of the scrap tires generated annually – compared to just 40 percent of plastic bottles.

Smarter Landscapes From the Ground Up
With the texture of traditional wood mulch and a variety of natural and vibrant colors, rubber mulch combines beauty and performance. Unlike wood, rubber mulch does not attract bugs, rodents, mold or mildew.

By not compressing or flattening, rubber mulch provides excellent drainage. Because rubber mulch does not absorb moisture, water continues to get to plants, but weed growth is controlled.

The advanced technology used to clean, process, and convert used tires into rubber mulch ultimately creates a material that is non-allergenic and harmless to plants, pets and children – without depleting our natural resources.
