What is Rubber Mulch?

Rubber mulch is a versatile surfacing material made from recycled rubber, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood mulch or chippings.

One of the key advantages of rubber mulch is its durability, as it does not decompose or break down like organic materials, ensuring long-lasting coverage for your landscaping. 

Additionally, rubber mulch is excellent for shock absorption, making it a popular choice for playgrounds and athletic fields to reduce the risk of injuries from falls. 

Unlike wood mulch, rubber mulch does not attract pests or insects, providing a cleaner and safer environment.

 Its vibrant colours and textures can enhance the aesthetic appeal of any outdoor space while requiring minimal maintenance.

What is Rubber Mulch Made of?

Rubber mulch is primarily made of rubber granules that are bound together using a resin, creating a durable and resilient surface ideal for various applications.

During the manufacturing process of rubber mulch, the initial step involves the collection of recycled rubber tyres that are then shredded into small rubber granules. 

These granules undergo a meticulous cleaning process to remove any impurities, ensuring high-quality material for the final product.

The next crucial phase is the application of a specialised resin binding agent, which is meticulously mixed with the rubber granules to form a cohesive mixture. 

This resin acts as a binder, effectively holding the granules together and providing the necessary strength and durability to the mulch.

The mixture is then carefully processed and moulded into the desired shape, whether it be nuggets, chips, or shredded pieces. 

The final product is then cured and dried, resulting in the resilient rubber mulch that can withstand heavy use and harsh weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for playgrounds, landscaping, and other outdoor surfaces.

Rubber Mulch Benefits

The utilisation of rubber mulch surfacing offers numerous benefits, including enhanced safety features and the usage of EPDM rubber that ensures durability and resilience.

One of the key advantages of utilising rubber mulch surfacing is its exceptional shock-absorbing properties, especially crucial in playgrounds where children engage in playful activities. 

The flexibility of the rubber material helps cushion falls, reducing the risk of injuries significantly.

The incorporation of EPDM rubber not only enhances the longevity of the surface but also provides weather-resistant properties, making it ideal for outdoor use, as it can withstand varying weather conditions without deteriorating. 

This combination of safety and durability makes rubber mulch surfacing a top choice for areas where safety is paramount.

How is Rubber Mulch Different from Traditional Mulch?

Rubber mulch stands out from traditional mulch due to its playground rubber variation, rubberised texture, and bark-like appearance, offering a unique and superior surfacing solution.

Unlike traditional mulch, rubber mulch is specifically engineered to be used in playgrounds, providing a safe and cushioned surface for children to play on. 

Its rubberised texture not only offers impact absorption, reducing the risk of injuries, but also ensures longevity compared to its natural counterparts. 

The bark-like aesthetics of rubber mulch blend well in outdoor spaces, mimicking the look of organic materials while offering enhanced functionality. 

The eco-friendly nature of rubber mulch, often made from recycled tyres, appeals to environmentally conscious consumers seeking sustainable options for landscaping projects.

What is Our Installation Process?

Our installation process involves a thorough assessment of the existing surface, meticulous application of resin-bound driveways, and the precise laying of rubber mulch surfaces to ensure a seamless and durable finish.

1. After evaluating the condition of the area, our Rubber Mulch Installers carefully prepare the surface for the resin-bound driveway installation. This includes cleaning, levelling, and ensuring proper drainage.
2. Once the surface is ready, the resin-bound mixture is expertly applied, providing a strong and durable base for the rubber mulch.
3. The final step is the meticulous laying of the rubber mulch, ensuring it is evenly spread and compacted for longevity and visual appeal. This detailed process guarantees a high-quality finish that will stand the test of time.
