Playsafer rubber mulch is an exceptional playground protection surface, as it provides unmatched shock absorbency, and greatly reduces the incidence of playground injuries. Unlike other loose-fill surfaces, Playsafer rubber mulch nuggets require minimal maintenance, dry quickly after rain, and will not decompose. Its exceptional longevity makes Playsafer rubber mulch for play areas and playgrounds, a very cost-effective option. Rubber mulch is an environment-friendly safety surface, manufactured from recycled passenger vehicle tires. Rubber mulch provides one of the safest and best surfaces for a wide variety of applications from children's playground surfacing to rock wall and obstacle course impact surfacing. When properly installed, rubber mulch meets the guidelines set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the American Standard for Testing Materials (ASTM), ADA, and the International Playground Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you know that you can buy this product at Walmart for $6 a bag?**
A: Not sure about Walmart, but Lowes has $7 bags. Unless I'm mistaken... you are looking for coverage when you buy mulch, not weight. Unless you need heavy mulch for your project....? Lowes is a 20lb bag for $7...at .8 cu ft. This bag is 40lb at 1.55 cu ft. You would expect about ~$14 for this... so idk why it'sso expensive. I'm going to lowes. Do what you will with that info :)

**Q: Does the smell go away?**
A: Isn't it ground tire rubber? Rubber smells when it's hot. 

How is this environmentally friendly? Why is it more friendly than simply throwing the tires in a dump?

Real wood is environment friendly.

**Q: Is this shredded or like little nuggets?**
A: Its more of the nugget style mulch.

**Q: Does this come in bags?  If so how many?**
A: I bought the 1.33 cu ft for 49.99, i bought 3 bags as that was all i needed for my flower beds.  I prefer it to the shredded rubber mulch.  It's great.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not as it appears online (mulch better)
*by K***K on May 8, 2025*

My rubber rubble arrived one day early and I am so pleased with the product but, I would like to defend the vey hard working delivery driver who was unable to put the 2000 pound load down where I needed it to be on account of the prehistoric fork lift pallet mover they are making that man have to use, I don't think it was even electric (anyway) he did a good job despite the equipment he is forced to have to work with, for my first purchase I chose blue, a subdued blue that I think is just as beautiful as the pink that got here yesterday, I highly recommend this mulch because the "party" colors are dignified in appearance, not juvenile so it doesn't make the front seem as though we are running a daycare facility.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The front of my home looks new again!
*by K***T on June 2, 2025*

Perfect for my front garden area, looks great, keeps bugs away, very easy to spread and will last a very long time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the best mulch I've ever used.
*by G***O on May 22, 2025*

Exceptional quality at prices that beat cheap wood mulch. The colour and size is perfect for flower beds, playground areas and along walkways. So easy to spread and stays put.
