Premium Shredded Rubber Mulch

Rubber Mulch is made from recycled tire rubber and is available in various sizes and grades.

Our premium Shredded Rubber Mulch material ranges in size from 1/2″ to 1.5″, typically containing a mix of particle sizes in any given batch. The rubber particles have a flat, flake shape similar to that of premium wood mulch materials.

This material is commonly used for landscaping applications, but it is also suitable for playgrounds and equine uses. The manufacturing process for this grade ensures that there are no fibers or metal wires in the mix. Shredded rubber mulch is available in both uncolored black and color-coated versions.

Our Rubber Mulch suppliers color the raw black rubber nuggets with special, non-toxic pigments that reduce heat buildup and protect against sun damage.

Color options include bright playground colors such as red, green, and blue, as well as natural-looking earth tones. Multi-color versions blend these various colors together.

For landscape applications, a two to three-inch layer of mulch is typical. In playgrounds, a four to six-inch layer is recommended. Most states require a minimum of six inches of coverage in public play areas, such as parks, schools, or regulated day care facilities. In backyard playgrounds, a four-inch layer is usually sufficient.

Rubber mulch does not decompose like wood chips or organic mulch, so it does not need to be replaced for many years, whether used in playgrounds or landscaping applications.

The premium, shredded grade of rubber mulch lays flat and is comfortable to walk on barefoot. This material provides an excellent walking surface for paths and walkways. In this application, the mulch reduces erosion, retains moisture, keeps the soil cool, and helps control dust. Other landscape applications include using it as a weed barrier around trees or shrubs.
