How long will it be before the color fades on Rubber Mulch? We use a special coating that has been lab-tested at 20 years; the product still looks brand new after 5 years in test-market areas.

Is it good for my plants? Yes! Rubber Mulch retains moisture for optimal plant growth, whereas wood mulch robs the plants of water. Also, wood mulch can generate heat and acids that can burn your plants' roots.

Is it going to wash away? Because Rubber Mulch is nearly five times heavier than wood mulch, it stays in place much better. Therefore, our mulch is great on inclines and areas with sufficient water.

Will Rubber Mulch attract termites? No! Generally, insects of all kinds do not breed in Rubber Mulch. This makes our product ideal around homes and other structures where termites may cause serious damage.

Will Rubber Mulch help keep weeds down? Yes, although it does not keep weeds away completely, Rubber Mulch will not break down or decompose, providing an environment for weeds to grow in as traditional wood mulch would. It is recommended that a landscaping fabric be used to eliminate weeds completely. If a weed control substance is preferred, this could be sprayed directly over Rubber Mulch with out the worry of affecting its color.

Is Rubber Mulch expensive? Yes and No. The product is 3-4 times the cost of wood mulch, but it lasts for 10 years or longer. When you consider that pine straw and wood mulch fade after 6 weeks and Rubber hasn't faded after 5 years, you can appreciate the aesthetic value this will add to your home.

How do you get yard debris off of the mulch? Rubber Mulch is heavier than regular wood mulch, therefore we recommend using a leaf blower on the low setting. This will remove the debris while leaving the mulch in place.

Will the color fade? No,the colorant applied to the rubber shreds are specifically designed to resist the fading of the sunlight that wood mulch cannot prevent. View Colors

How much do I need? This depends, of course, on several factors. Refer to the Benefits and Uses for more information on measuring how much Rubber Mulch you will need.

Will Rubber Mulch harm my plants? No, in fact this product will help your plants grow by keeping moisture in the ground rather than absorbed by the wood mulch.

What is the best installation method? The best way to install Rubber Mulch is by first applying felt then spreading Rubber Mulch 1.5" thick.
