Play Area Certified Rubber Mulch & Borders
Rubber Mulch for More Fun, Fewer Injuries
Impact testing reveals that rubber mulch has a superior fall height rating — more than twice that of wood and three times that of playground sand. That means fewer bumps and bruises and greater safety and fun for your kids.

Rubber Mulch Benefits

- Cost-effective because it doesn’t have to be replaced like other playground materials that decompose or fade
- Decorative and available in a variety of colors including, royal blue, forest green, coated black, uncoated black, terra cotta red, and cocoa brown
