Our Playground Rubber Mulch is available in six colors and is comprised of a mixture of crumb shredded rubber and shredded rubber buffings to help aid in cushioning. It provides a natural and attractive look for the play area and can be used in landscaping applications to help plant roots retain moisture. Although Playground Rubber Mulch is one of the best options for cushioning falls, other playground surfacing products may a better fit for play areas where accessibility for mobility devices is a strong consideration.  We recommend geotextile barrier fabric, drainage systems, and wear mats as part of a complete Playground Rubber Mulch system. Containment curbs are required to maintain depth and prevent the surfacing from migrating to non-play areas.  This product is also sometimes called shredded rubber or loose fill rubber surfacing.
