Rubber mulch for playgrounds is a great choice when you're looking for a durable, safe surfacing material for your play area. This long-lasting rubber playground mulch comes in loose nuggets and flakes, and it offers great fall protection. Buy rubber mulch in bulk and place it where falls are most common, such as around climbers or balancing equipment. With this rubber play surface in place, serious injuries will be much less likely.
Features:
- Since our rubberized mulch is made entirely of 100% recycled rubber from scrap tires, using this product is great for the environment!
- This rubber surfacing material is odor-free and non-toxic, and it won't stain kids' clothes. Rubber playground mulch is also considered safe for both plants and lawns; it’s chemically inert, meaning that it does not release any harmful chemicals into the soil.
- The rubber mulch is weather-resistant and water-resistant, and it boasts impressive durability, lasting well more than a decade. It also offers excellent drainage after it rains.
- Playground rubber mulch comes in a variety of colors, including natural black, terracotta red, cocoa brown, forest green, and royal blue. All of these high-quality colors are designed to resist fading, even in the face of constant exposure to sunlight and harsh weather conditions. If you want, you can even choose to mix colors together, especially if you want to add a little bit of school spirit to your playground by buying rubber mulch in your school colors. Please contact a representative if you wish to place a custom order.
- Rubber playground mulch does not attract insects or mold like wood fiber mulch often does.
- Rubber mulch is highly resistant to floating or being blown away, even under normal conditions. Unlike traditional wood mulch, rubber mulch is considerably heavier, making it less susceptible to wind and water movements.
Installing Your Rubber Mulch Nuggets
We recommend purchasing and installing a border containment system before you add your playground rubber mulch. Once your playground border is installed, you can pour in rubber mulch in bulk and smooth it out with a rake. This product will be delivered in one-ton sacks, so you'll likely need a forklift to help you unload them. If that's not possible, consider purchasing our bulk rubber mulch in 50 individual 24-pound bags.
Maintaining Your Rubber Mulch
Unlike organic surfacing options, there's much less maintenance involved with rubber playground mulch, especially if you've already installed a playground border system. You likely won't need to replace the rubber mulch every year, but you may need to occasionally replenish it, depending on the area and how much action it sees when kids are playing. Nonetheless, you'll soon see that rubberized mulch can save you money both on the mulch itself and on maintenance. If you're seeking rubber mulch 'near me', we deliver to all 50 states, so you can rest assured that your playground will be covered.
