You may have seen rubber mulch used in public playgrounds and recreational areas. Or a neighbor may have recommended this recycled material to create durable landscaping. If you are considering rubber mulch for your property, the friendly staff at The Buxton Complex can answer your questions. We provide quality materials for gardens and backyards in the Ewing, NJ, area.
Rubber Mulch in Landscapes and Gardens
We recommend rubber mulch for landscaping and garden beds for several reasons. Created from shredded, used tires, this material is durable. It helps keep moisture in the soil and helps control unwanted weeds. Here are some of the other reasons we recommend rubber mulch:
- It doesn’t attract insects or rodents
- Rubber mulch stands up to extreme weather, and won’t float or blow away
- It reduces the amounts of dust and mud tracked into your house
- It dries quickly after heavy rains
Rubber Mulch in Playgrounds
Another popular use for rubber mulch is in playgrounds. This can include your own backyard swing sets and play sets. Rubber mulch provides a safe landing for the end of the slide or when leaping off a swing. Falling can be an aspect of play and is part of growing up, but no kid should have to fall onto a hard surface.
We also offer curbing borders to provide a barrier between the lawn or garden beds and the play area with rubber mulch. You can choose from rubber curbing or vinyl border. In addition, we carry slide and swing mats to be placed beneath rubber mulch for extra cushioning. Using rubber mulch for play areas can be more affordable, as well. On average, you will need 50% less material when you choose rubber mulch over wood mulches.
Rubber Mulch for Equestrian Riding Surfaces
Equestrians also benefit from rubber mulch. This riding arena footing material may be mixed with sand or other materials to add cushion and prevent compaction. It also reduces shifting, helping to keep the footing material in place.
Dark colors can help reduce glare. When frost or ice occurs, rubber mulch can speed up melting by absorbing radiation from the sun more quickly. Depending on the specific needs of the arena, rubber mulch is offered in a choice of shapes and colors. Aside from providing better footing for horses, rubber mulch can also cushion the impact if any riders take a fall.
