What Can You Use Rubber Bark For?

Landscaping:
You can buy bark chippings to be used in landscaping applications as a mulch substitute. It is a durable material that will not break down over time like traditional wood mulch.
Erosion control:
Rubber bark can be used in erosion control applications to prevent soil erosion on steep slopes or along riverbanks to prevent areas being worn down and damaged over time.
Pathways:
Rubber bark can be used to create pathways in gardens, parks, or other outdoor spaces. It is a soft, durable material that can withstand heavy foot traffic for long durations, providing a long lasting option.
Garden beds:

Athletic fields:
Rubber bark can be used as infill material for artificial turf athletic fields. It provides a soft surface that is safer for athletes to play on than traditional turf, reducing injury risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is rubber play bark safe ?
Our recycled standard rubber chippings are critical fall height tested. If children or animals ingest the chippings, they will pass through naturally. All our chippings are inert and non-toxic.
What do you need to put under rubber chippings?
Rubber chippings can be laid directly onto dirt / soil, make sure you have good drainage, and the area doesn’t flood.
Spray the ground with weed killer and lay permeable landscaping fabric over the entire area. Avoid using plastic under mulch, since plastic is not permeable and may create a moisture problem or a breeding ground for fungus.
Do weeds grow through the rubber mulch ?
Rubber Bark mulch is the best choice for use as a weed suppressant as it inhibits weeds in two critical ways.
First, by applying a thick layer covering the soil, rubber bark mulch deprives the weed seeds in the soil, and their resulting seedlings, of the sunlight desperately needed to germinate and thrive.
