Playsafer™ Rubber Mulch from Rubbercycle is a durable commercial playground surfacing solution designed to provide long-lasting impact protection with significantly less upkeep than traditional wood mulch. Unlike organic materials that can decompose, compact, splinter, or require regular replenishment, Playsafer Rubber Mulch is engineered to maintain its performance and appearance over time.

Made from 99.9999% clean recycled car tires, the rubber mulch creates a softer, cushioned surface beneath playground equipment. At a 6-inch installed depth, it provides impact protection for falls from heights up to 16 feet, making it an excellent loose-fill surfacing option for a wide variety of commercial playground structures.

Playsafer Rubber Mulch also offers an attractive alternative to traditional engineered wood fiber, wood mulch, or gravel. The material is dyed in vibrant colors, allowing playground planners to coordinate the surfacing with playground equipment, school colors, branding, or the overall outdoor environment.

For facilities focused on accessibility, Playsafer Rubber Mulch is ADA compliant and can provide wheelchair accessibility when properly installed and maintained. Its combination of impact attenuation, accessibility, durability, and color options makes it a versatile choice for playground projects ranging from early childhood centers to large public parks.

For child care centers, preschools, elementary schools, churches, parks, and community organizations, Playsafer Rubber Mulch provides a practical balance between playground safety and long-term maintenance. It delivers the familiar appearance of loose-fill mulch while eliminating many of the concerns associated with organic materials.

Footer Options (Varies by Product)

In-Ground Mounting

This is the most common installation method for playground and shade structures. It involves digging holes and setting the posts directly into concrete that is poured during installation.

Surface Mount (Anchor Bolt)

With this method, posts are secured to an existing solid surface—typically concrete—using specialized base plates and anchor bolt hardware provided with the product.

Ground Spike

This is the simplest mounting option, using a sledgehammer to drive stakes through a footer plate to secure the posts in the desired location. Ground spikes are not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and are only available for select product sets.

FAQs

What are the payment requirements for an order?

Full payment is typically required upfront due to the custom nature of many products. Exceptions can be made for governmental entities through approved purchase orders. All payments must be received prior to the start of installation.

Are installation services available?

Installation services are available for commercial playground projects. A qualified and insured professional can be arranged to handle the setup, and quotes are provided upon request. The goal is to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient installation process from start to finish.

Is expedited shipping an option for my order?

Expedited shipping is not currently available. Due to the size and nature of playground LTL shipments, most freight carriers are unable to guarantee faster delivery. Unless otherwise noted, all products ship according to the estimated lead times listed on each product page.

How is the estimated lead time calculated?

Estimated lead time refers to the amount of time it typically takes for a product to be prepared and shipped after an order is placed. For many commercial playground items, manufacturing begins only once the order is received. For example, if the lead time is listed as 8 to 10 weeks, that means it will take approximately8 to 10 weeks for the product to be manufactured, packaged, and shipped from the warehouse.
