The Benefits of Using Rubber Mulch

Safer Falls with Unparalleled Shock Absorbency

When it comes to protecting kids from bumps and falls, our playground rubber stands out. It offers unparalleled shock absorbency, which means it cushions impact better than traditional wood mulch or recycled tire mulch. While wood chips can pack down over time, and recycled tires often have an uneven texture, our rubber mulch stays springy and supportive.

Cleaner and Lower-Maintenance Than Wood Chips

Nobody wants to deal with splinters, mold, or bugs. That’s what you often get with regular wood mulch. Our shredded rubber and rubber nugget options don’t break down like wood, so you won’t need to replace them nearly as often. They also don’t attract pests or grow mold after a rainy day. It’s a cleaner, simpler solution that keeps your play area looking neat with way less effort.

No Dirty Black Residue Like Recycled Tire Mulch

Some tire-based mulches can leave your hands and clothes dirty with black dust, or give off a strong rubber smell. Our mulch rubber is clean, well made, and specifically designed for playgrounds. No harsh odors and no mess—just safe and colorful mulch.

Long Lasting and Weather-Resistant

Our nugget mulch is built to handle the rain, snow, and sun. Unlike wood chips that wash away or rot, our mulch holds up. It stays in place, holds its color, and keeps your play surface safe no matter what the weather brings. Rainbow Mulch is a long-lasting playground flooring that saves you time and money over the long run.

One of the Safest Loose-Fill Options Available

Rainbow Mulch is one of the safest loose-fill materials you can choose for your playground. Whether you’re designing a park, schoolyard, or home play area, our rubber nuggets offer a soft, even layer of protection that stays where you need it. It’s safer than wood. It’s cleaner than tire rubber. And when you pair it with smart borders to keep everything in place, you’ll have the perfect playground setup.
