Ground rubber mulch provides more shock absorption than wood chips, sand, or gravel, making it the ideal choice for playgrounds. Unlike wood chips, ground rubber mulch is quick drying and does not rot. Unlike gravel, it is non-abrasive. Unlike sand, it does not retain as much heat. This attractive Cypress tan color blends nicely into the natural landscape. Cypress can also be mixed with other colors to create an interesting, artistic effect. For playgrounds, daycare centers, schools, or your very own backyard, ground rubber much is the ideal surfacing to use for safety and low maintenance. Because ground rubber mulch dries quickly, it reduces the moisture that can attract insects. Laying down landscape fabric before installing rubber playground mulch will prevent mud from mixing in, thereby providing a cleaner surface. Ground rubber mulch not only makes our playgrounds a clean, safe place, it is a great solution to reducing the tires in our nation’s landfills. Ground rubber mulch comes is delivered in individual bags for easier transportation and installation. Usually ships in 2-3 weeks.
