Crumb rubber is made from recycled tires!  The recycling process removes cord and steel from the tires and leaves grainy, yet soft, ‘crumb rubber’.  There are a wide variety of uses for crumb rubber including athletic surfaces, new tires, landscaping, playground surfaces, asphalt (rubber modified), trails and the list goes on.

According to Wikipedia, Rubberized asphalt is the largest market for crumb rubber!  Followed by playground covering and running tracks.

Crumb rubber has aided in the prevention of major injuries from professional athletes.

Also according to Wikipedia, about 12 million tires are recycled each year for crumb rubber!

Rubber Mulch

Rubber Mulch is the smart choice for all your landscape and play areas. It can be used everywhere wood mulch is used. And since it doesn’t attract TERMITES and other insects, unlike wood mulch, it can be used near house foundations, trees and other wood structures.

Saves Time & Money

Rubber Mulch eliminates the need for annual mulching for up to 12 years. Wood mulch products degrade and fade quickly so they need to be maintained and replaced annually.

• Saves up to 75% over 12 years versus wood mulch in landscapes
• Saves up to 52% over 12 years versus engineered wood fiber in playground

 

12 Year Color-Lock Guarantee

Wood mulch products fade quickly from sun exposure and natural product degradation. Rubber Mulch does not degrade and is guaranteed to maintain at least 50% of it’s color for up to 12 years.

Promotes Playground Safety

As a play surface, a 6 in. layer of Rubber Mulch can cushion a child’s fall from as high as 16 ft. It also meets the criteria required for IPEMA certification and ASTM Wheelchair accessibility.

Prevents Weeds

Applying Rubber Mulch over a weed block landscape fabric virtually eliminates weeds, so there’s no need for harsh chemicals.
