Rubber Mulch Playground Surfacing, Landscaping & Horse Arena Footing Some other uses for rubber mulch include: Rock Climbing Gyms, Shooting Ranges, Volleyball Courts, Walking Trails, Rooftop Gardens, Athletic Fields, etc.

Playground rubber mulch is more economical than wood mulch. The key advantage that makes rubber mulch the most economical option is that it does not decompose. Playground rubber is cost effective, eliminating the need to constantly replace decaying material.

According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, rubber playground cover has been proven to have superior shock absorbing capability, and can help reduce injuries associated with falls from playground equipment. Rubber mulch is safer for our children by eliminating splinters, scraped elbows & knees. It drains well after a rain, which reduces mud, and does not attract insects or animals. It is less likely to compact than other loose-fill materials, and easy to install.

Rubber mulch can be used anywhere you would like a soft, durable cushion. This product will reduce facility operation and maintenance costs by using more durable and long-lasting materials.

Playground Rubber Mulch available in black, brown, redwood, blue and green.

Close the Loop supplies the premier horse arena footing for your equestrian comfort. Generated from a specialized process for
