Long-Term Investment
Rubber landscape surfaces are extremely resilient, requiring minimal upkeep to withstand the elements.
Great Drainage
Water drains through rubber very easily. This minimizes puddling and helps to prevent soil erosion – no matter what mother nature throws at you.
Safety & Comfort
Rubber is soft and shock-absorbent, providing a cushioned surface for children and pets to enjoy.
Bonded Rubber Mulch
Bonded Rubber Mulch surfacing follows a one-step pouring process to deliver a durable option for any playground or park setting.
Loose Fill Rubber
Loose-fill rubber mulch is made from recycled tire buffing and is a popular ground cover for playgrounds and landscaping, thanks to its durability and feel under foot.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does recycled rubber mulch last?
Recycled rubber mulch doesn't decompose like organic mulch – and it can last 10 years+ with proper care. The durability of the rubber helps to maintain its color and shape over time, making it a good, long-lasting option for landscaping.
Is recycled rubber mulch safe for the environment?
Yes, recycled rubber mulch is safe for the environment. All the recycled rubber mulch landscaping products we sell are made from high-quality, non-toxic materials. The process involves repurposing used tires, helping to reduce landfill waste.
Can you put rubber mulch next to your house?
Yes, but it's recommended to leave a gap between the mulch and the foundation.
Do bugs live in rubber mulch?
Technically yes, but bugs are less likely to live in rubber mulch compared to organic mulch because it doesn't retain moisture and organic matter. This makes rubber mulch a good option for reducing pest problems in landscaped areas.
Do weeds grow in rubber mulch?
Weeds are less likely to grow in rubber mulch, especially if there is a weed barrier underneath. However, some weeds may still sprout in the mulch over time, but they are generally easy to remove since the mulch does not support root growth like organic mulch.
