Knowing where to start in the process of developing your playground can be difficult for any project manager. But luckily for you, PlaySmart is here to answer your questions and provide you with an easy and quick surfacing quote for your play area.

Often used in gardens and sustainable landscaping due to its durability and low maintenance requirements, it also has superior weed growth suppression. The bonded mulch doesn’t require replacing like loose fill bark, and our JungleMulch we guarantee it lasts for at least 3 years.

The product is joined together with an adhesive binder, mixed together on site, then laid onto the play area. It is installed in various thicknesses depending 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.

PlaySmart’s JungleMulch, is the original rubber-bound mulch 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.

It is possible to create designs with 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. To read more about the pros and cons of using rubber mulch for playgrounds.
