Recycled Rubber Playground Mulch

Loose Fill Rubber Mulch 
Rubber Designs Loose Fill Recycled Rubber Mulch is made from recycled tire buffing and is a popular ground cover for playgrounds due to its soft and springy bounce.  Properly installed playground mulch requires little maintenance and can last for 10 or more years vs. wood mulch. Recycled rubber mulch allows water and fertilizer applications to pass through to the soil and does not attract insects, protecting your playground mulch from pests.
