See Playground Safety OptionsWhat Makes for the Best Playground Ground Cover
The most important thing that mulch does is to protect your children in the event of a fall during play. The best playground ground cover, of course, keeps them safe, but it also provides a handful of other advantages that put it far above generic wooden mulch. Here’s what to love about our rubber mulch:
- Best Fall Protection – Should your kids ever fall during rambunctious outdoor play, the mulch will cushion their fall. When compared to standard wood mulch, rubber mulch offers far better protection. Based on independent tests, rubber mulch is between two and three times more effective at providing protection from a fall. This is the number one factor that makes rubber the very best mulch for home playgrounds!
- No Splinters – One of the other factors that makes our mulch a serious contender for the best playground ground cover is that it never causes splinters. Since ordinary mulch is simply composed of loose wood pieces, the chances to get a splinter are very real. Just like how our vinyl playsets never cause splinters in hands, our rubber mulch offers the same guarantee.
- Immune to Rot and Mold – As a fully natural product, wood comes with a few downsides. Most notably, wood is very susceptible to rot and mold. Almost the first time it rains on your mulch, the mold starts growing. Knowing that your kids are playing on a huge mound of organic growth is definitely unpleasant. Eventually that will cause you to need to replace the first load of mulch with an additional one. This is just like how you have to mulch your flowerbed every year – and it’s an added chore you didn’t ask for. As is the case with all of our mold-impervious swing sets, all of our rubber mulch is 100% immune to rot, mold, or other growth.
- Never Needs to Be Replaced – Since our playground ground cover is immune to everything we listed above, you can count on it to last forever! That means you’ll never need to worry about it wearing out, become unhealthy, or looking downright unpleasant. Over years of having the set, you’ll spend more money replacing the wooden mulch than you would just buying the elite mulch upfront. Just like a premium playset is an investment, the premium mulch that goes with it is part of that investment as well.
- Great Look – While it’s not as important as keeping your children safe and secure, the look of your mulch matters too. While new wooden mulch doesn’t look bad per se, those lumber shavings can’t match the style of the best rubber playground mulch. The pieces of rubber mulch look nice up close and the bright colors make for a very polished and professional looking backyard playground. Plus, the five distinct colors are perfect for matching the colors of your set!
