Quality
Synthetic rubber mulch is the highest rated resilient surfacing for falls, by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Contrary to the nickname “tire mulch,” our rubber mulch is not made from motor vehicle tires. Instead, it’s made from recycled rubber. Please note that we have discontinued the use of rubber mulch on playgrounds, due to safety concerns. But it’s still available for other purposes.
Colors Available
Colors include blue, red, green, brown, or cypress.
Advantages
Rubber mulch is highly resistant for falls. It’s also cleaner than safety woodchips, because it is non-organic and therefore discourages wildlife. There are no possible splinters, either, like you find with organic resilient surfacing.
Disadvantages
Rubber mulch is considerably more expensive than safety woodchips and engineered wood fiber. Because it’s lightweight, rubber mulch may blow away in windy conditions. And in hot, sunny weather, the mulch absorbs the sunlight, increasings its temperature.
Quantities
Please note that we usually only sell rubber mulch in quantities of 20 or more cubic yards. We only sell it for non-playground purposes.
Services
We install rubber mulch surfacing in the Maryland – Washington, DC – Virginia area. Because of safety concerns, we don’t sell or install rubber mulch on playgrounds. But we do sell it for other purposes.
