Rubber mulch is reshaping the landscaping and playground industries. With the unique attributes that rubber mulch provides the market demand is growing at a rate of more than 30% a year. On children’s playgrounds it’s much better than traditional wood chips due to its high shock absorption. This increases children’s safety by preventing injuries from falling. In landscaping it not only looks great but it’s a weed and insect preventative for gardens. Another advantage is that it only needs to be installed once. Due to its weight the wind does not affect the rubber like it does traditional wood mulch.
