About Our Playground Mulch

• It provides good insulation from heat. Rubber mulch does a better job of insulating plants from heat compared to wood chips and other organic materials. In “indoor” gardens like sun-rooms and solariums, it is especially beneficial because it does not break down and emit a rotting smell.

• It will not attract insects. Unlike soil and wood, rubber isn’t attractive for insects to build nests in or gnaw on. This is particularly true for ants and termites. Some even use rubber mulch as a sort of insulation around their homes to keep insects at bay.

• It discourages weed and fungal growth. Because rubber does not absorb water, rubber mulch can actually help prevent fungal growth in plants. The shredded rubber tire “nuggets” are non- porous so water and fertilizer passes through it down to the soil it rests on. Weeds cannot thrive on the rubber and can’t get through the mulch layer down to the soil.

• It lasts forever. Well maybe not forever, but since rubber is very slow to deteriorate, you can expect to enjoy the landscaping material for many, many years without the cost and hassle of topping it up annually.

• It stays in place. Since rubber mulch is heavier than organic mulches (and water) it doesn’t displace easy and won’t float off during heavy rainfall.

• It provides more design options. Available in many earth tones and designer colors, rubber mulch offers more options to complement existing landscape elements. Unlike colored wood mulch, rubber mulch tends to hold its color for up to ten years.

• It is a low maintenance option. When compared to organic mulches, the density and durability of rubber mulch translates into less maintenance and replenishment costs, saving both time and money.

• It provides twice the coverage. While rubber mulch is initially more expensive, it requires only a 1.5 inch depth to effectively control weed growth compared to 3 inches of organic material.

• It is an environmentally friendly option. Rubber landscaping mulch is made from recycled tires. Using this material not only helps to prevent landfilling, but also requires no tree sacrifices. • It is virtually metal free. Through production processes and several series of magnets, metal is extracted, and mulch is sampled to be at or above 99% metal free by volume.
