FAQs
1. What are the benefits of using rubber mulch?
Rubber mulch offers superior durability, lasting 10+ years versus organic mulch's 2-3 years. It provides better shock absorption for playgrounds, doesn't attract pests, and requires minimal maintenance. Made from recycled tires, it's an eco-friendly option that helps reduce landfill waste while maintaining vibrant color over time.
2. How deep should rubber mulch be installed?
For playgrounds, 6 inches depth is recommended for safety compliance. Residential landscaping typically uses 3-4 inches. Always check local regulations and manufacturer recommendations. Proper depth ensures effective weed control and impact absorption while maintaining cost efficiency.
