Rubber mulch is the smart choice for all landscape mulch and ground cover applications. Rubber mulch not only looks better 365 days a year, year after year, it’s more durable, cost-effective, maintenance free, and eco-friendly than wood mulch, stone, and other landscape ground cover materials.

Unlike wood mulch, rubber mulch used in landscaping doesn’t attract termites, carpenter ants or other harmful wood destroying insects so it’s the ideal mulch for use around buildings, foundations, and wood structures. As a result, rubber mulch helps reduce the need for harsh insect control chemicals in and around the landscape.

Rubber Mulch can help construction projects earn LEED credits. Smart solutions like rubber mulch not only save time and money, they are smart for the environment. As a green landscaping material, GroundSmart® Rubber Mulch helps to saves trees and earns Green Building (LEED) Credits.

Landscape Rubber Mulch Cost Benefits

Products like wood mulch and engineered wood fiber (EWF) break down and decompose. As a result, the cost and maintenance of your landscape ground cover using wood mulch or engineered wood fiber (EWF) significantly increases over time.

80% COST SAVINGS

Rubber Mulch vs Wood Mulch/Engineered Wood Fiber

Over 12 Year Period

Landscaping Rubber Mulch can help save you as much as 73% over 12 years compared to wood mulch

Rubber Mulch vs. Wood Mulch

Rubber Mulch proves time and time again to be the smart choice for all ground cover or safety surfacing material needs. Rubber mulch provides superior fall height protection when used as a training course or playground safety surfacing material. As a landscape ground cover it provides a cost effective and environmentally friendly ground cover. The aesthetic, performance, financial, and environmental benefits speak for themselves and significantly outweigh wood mulch or engineered wood fiber (EWF) for a ground cover or safety surface.

Rubber Mulch

Long lasting color that maintains beauty year after year

Saves time and money by eliminating annual mulching

Doesn’t attract insects, including termites

Resists floating, blowing away and eroding

Does not rot or decompose

Prevents weed growth

Reduces allergy risk by inhibiting growth of mold and fungi

Wood mulch requires annual replacement and can decompose after time

Wood Mulch

Needs to be replaced every year due to decomposition.

Initially cheaper but adds up with the frequent replacement and treatments.

Wood mulch creates a moist environment that attracts plant damaging insects and termites

Treated wood mulch could negatively affect both plant life and its soil due to the absorption of chemicals

Because of its light weight, wood mulch is quick to blow away and easily erodes

Made out of organic material, it is quick to decompose

Wood mulch decomposition creates the perfect environment for weeds to grow

Wood mulch decomposition creates the perfect environment mold and fungi to flourish

What are the different types of mulch?

Materials used in mulch can be categorized into two types:

Organic Mulch

Organic mulches are quick to decompose over time because they are made from natural materials. These materials need to be replaced annually that creates a costly and time-consuming cycle. Examples are wood mulch, engineered wood fiber (EWF), pea gravel, sand, and grass.

Synthetic Mulch

Synthetic mulches do not decompose and don’t need to be replaced annually, saving you both time and money in the long run. This type of mulch is typically made out of industrial recycling materials, such as tires or plastics, that help made our world a better place.
