Rubber Mulch
Rubber Mulch vs. Wood Mulch
Rubber Mulch proves time and time again to be the smart choice for all ground cover or safety surfacing material needs. Rubber mulch provides superior fall height protection when used as a training course or playground safety surfacing material. As a landscape ground cover it provides a cost effective and environmentally friendly ground cover. The aesthetic, performance, financial, and environmental benefits speak for themselves and significantly outweigh wood mulch or engineered wood fiber (EWF) for a ground cover or safety surface.
