Frequently Asked Questions About Recycled Rubber Mulch

How Much Does Rubber Mulch Cost?

Our rubber mulch prices are $315 for a 2,000-pound bag, shown here, or $6 per 24-pound bag. Bear in mind that 2,000 pounds of long-lasting, durable rubber mulch will cover around 15 square yards at a 6-inch depth, for a cost per square yard of a little over $20.

Is Rubber Mulch Worth the Cost?

Yes! Durable recycled rubber mulch maintains its look for years to come, so you don’t have to buy new mulch every year. Since it’s made of rubber, it doesn’t absorb water. And it’s also eco-friendly, since it’s made from repurposed materials.

Can You Bulk-Buy Rubber Mulch?

Yes! You can buy premium rubber mulch in bags of 24 pounds each or in 2,000-pound sacks.

Is Shredded or Nugget Rubber Mulch Better?

There’s not much difference between nugget and shredded rubber mulch, so in the end, which kind you buy will come down to personal preference.

What Is Playground Mulch Made Out Of?

Playground mulch can be made of either rubber or wood chips. Playset rubber mulch is made out of waste tire chunks or nuggets of synthetic rubber that have been ground up.

What Is the Best Mulch for a Playground?

If you’re comparing rubber mulch vs. wood mulch, you should know that rubber bark mulch provides better impact absorption. Six inches of rubber mulch on a playground can cushion falls of up to 12 feet. It’s also more durable than wood mulch, making it a better long-term investment.

How Many Inches of Rubber Mulch Do I Need for a Playground?

For residential playgrounds, it’s required that your rubber wood chips be at least 4 inches deep to provide adequate cushioning. For commercial playgrounds, which usually have larger play equipment, rubber mulch should be 6 inches deep.

How Do You Calculate Rubber Mulch Amounts?

The best way to calculate how much mulch you need is to break your project up into rectangles and then calculate the square footage by multiplying the length by the width. Once you’ve determined your square footage for each rectangle, add these figures together to get your total square footage. Then, multiply this figure by 14 to get a rough idea of how many pounds of mulch you need.

What Do You Put Under Rubber Mulch for a Playground?

When you’re preparing a playground for rubber mulch, you should install a commercial-grade geotextile landscape fabric to prevent dirt and other materials from mixing with the rubber mulch and encourage water to drain away when it rains.

How Do You Lay Rubber Chippings?

First, level the area as much as possible to get as smooth of a surface as you can, free of any rocks, sticks, or weeds. Once the area is flat, lay landscaping fabric flat against the ground. You may want to add playground edging to enclose the space, which will help to contain the mulch. Then, you can spread out the rubber chips for the playground, using a tape measure to ensure an adequate depth.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Rubber Mulch?

Rubber mulch is a great choice for playground surfacing because it’s environmentally friendly, it doesn’t attract insects, it discourages weed and fungal growth, it’s a low-maintenance surfacing option that lasts forever, and you don’t need as much rubber mulch to provide adequate cushioning compared to wood mulch. However, it’s also true that rubber mulch may not look or feel as organic as wood, and it does require a higher initial investment. Consider the rubber mulch pros and cons to decide which type of safety surface is right for you.

Is Rubber Mulch Safe for a Playground?

Yes: The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has stated that rubber mulch is nontoxic and safe for use around children and pets, making it a great surfacing option for public playgrounds.

Does Rubber Mulch Keep Bugs Away?

One of the benefits of rubber bark is that it can discourage some types of bugs; unlike some wood mulches, it doesn’t feed pests such as termites or carpenter ants.

What Is Certified Playground Mulch?

Certified playground mulch is a ground cover material that has met specific requirements set by the American Society for Testing and Materials. Certification is performed by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA), which oversees third-party testing to ensure that the material meets or exceeds ASTM standards.

Does Rubber Mulch Lose its Color?

Rubber tire mulch can hold its color for up to ten years.

How Often Do You Have to Replace Rubber Mulch?

Recycled rubber mulch will last for at least ten years and often lasts even longer than that.

Is Playground Mulch Flammable?

Like most materials, playground mulch is flammable. The chunks of synthetic mulch used as outdoor flooring will not ignite as easily as wood mulch does, but it is possible.
