Rubber mulch is one of the most popular products available on the playground surfacing market. Made from shredded recyclable tyres, it’s a water permeable safety surface with the look of natural bark.
Often used in gardens and sustainable landscaping due to its durability and low maintenance requirements, it also has superior weed growth suppression. Our JungleMulch brand doesn’t require replacing like loose fill bark, guaranteed to last for at least 3 years.
The product is joined together with adhesive binder, mixed together on site then laid onto the play area. It is installed in various thicknesses dependant on any play equipment in the area.
As equipment may require different fall heights, groundwork must be undertaken in order to prepare for the specific area.
What is Rubber Mulch? JungleMulch
JungleMulch is the original rubber-bound surface, originally developed in the US. We offer a range of 8 different colours – including 3 blends, dependent on the design you want. You can also create your own blend of colours if required.
Our team often creates designs with this rubber bound mulch. However, they can’t be too complex due to the size and shape of the shreds. JungleMulch complies with BS EN 1177 and is certified for various Critical Fall Heights. You can also read more about the pros and cons of using rubber mulch for playgrounds.
