Red rubber mulch is a durable, color-enhanced landscape ground cover made from recycled rubber, designed to provide long-lasting performance and vibrant curb appeal. Steel-free and highly purified, this material resists decomposition, compression, and erosion from wind or heavy rain. Its engineered color stability helps maintain a bright red appearance for years, even under sun exposure and changing weather conditions. Because it does not absorb water, it dries quickly after rainfall and helps reduce muddy areas in play and landscape zones.
Naturally resistant to termites, carpenter ants, and other pests, red rubber mulch offers a low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood mulch. It is CPSC and ADA compliant, non-toxic, and non-abrasive, making it suitable for playground and public space installations.
Common applications for red rubber mulch
- Residential and commercial playground surfaces
- Decorative landscape beds and borders
- Around swing sets and play equipment
- Erosion-prone areas needing long-term coverage
For playground safety, a typical depth of 3 inches for residential and 6 inches for commercial installations is recommended, with periodic checks to maintain proper protective coverage.
