Benefits of Rubber Mulch Playground Covering
Although you have several options for making your backyard playground safer, rubber mulch is a modern alternative to better-known materials that has several benefits over wood chips, rocks, sand, or traditional mulch. This type of mulch is significantly heavier and more durable than other materials, which means that it will typically avoid fading, avoid blowing away during storms, and otherwise hold up against Michigan’s elements for many years. Our 12-year warranty means that many of our customers do not even have to replace their rubber mulch for the duration of the years that they have their backyard playground equipment, as its ability to resist rain, snow, wind, flooding, and other concerns often makes it last much longer than other options.
Rubber Playground Mulch Options
Our rubber mulch comes in five rich colors that can blend into the ground or be matched to the colors of your playset or other elements of the landscape of your backyard. We can also surround your rubber mulch with a border made of our signature Rubber Timbers, which are a safe option for keeping your mulch where you want it and making it less likely to end up all over your yard. These 8-foot long segments can be arranged to perfectly fit play areas of any size and shape, and they are available in four colors and three heights.
Rubber Timbers are the best border system option for all your landscaping and playground needs. These 8’ long Rubber Timbers come in heights of 4”, 6” or 8”. With the flexibility of rubber, it can form to virtually any edge desired. The top of the Rubber Timber is rounded to provide extra safety when used around a playground.
