Black rubber mulch is a durable, long-lasting landscape ground cover made from recycled rubber. It is designed to resist fading, erosion, and decomposition, making it a low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood mulch. Unlike organic mulch, rubber mulch does not break down, compact, attract termites or carpenter ants, or wash away easily.
This 100% USA-made black rubber mulch offers high purity, strong weather resistance, and excellent color stability for years. Since it does not absorb water, it dries quickly after rain and helps maintain a cleaner, more consistent appearance in residential, commercial, and public landscapes. It is also CPSC and ASTM compliant, non-toxic, and non-abrasive, making it suitable for playground surfaces, schools, parks, public spaces, and high-traffic landscape areas.
Suitable for: HOAs, hospitality properties, rental communities, apartment complexes, retail businesses, colleges, universities, schools, office buildings, parks, municipalities, residential properties, commercial properties, and property managers looking for a long-lasting, low-maintenance ground cover.
Common applications for black rubber mulch:
Playground safety surfacing
Landscape beds and decorative ground cover
Parking lot beds and curbside planting areas
Around swing sets and play structures
Erosion-prone areas needing long-term coverage
High-traffic public spaces and low-maintenance landscape areas
For playground safety, a depth of approximately 3 inches is typically recommended for residential use and 6 inches for commercial installations, with periodic depth checks to maintain proper protection.
