Commercial Rubber Playground Products
What Are Commercial Rubber Playground Products?
Our standout rubber playground products are safe, durable and cost-effective. We have a diverse selection of products that include rubber mulch (loose and bonded), poured-in-place surfaces, borders and mats that add extra layers of protection in the playground and park setting. All our playground products are made from 100% recycled rubber, making it a sustainable option, and our rubber mulch is IPEMA certified for safe use on playgrounds. Rubber’s shock-absorbing properties keep children safer than alternatives and reduce the risk of serious injuries.
Protecting Kids While Reducing Maintenance
Without question our loose-fill rubber nugget mulch is the safest playground surface on the market.. It boasts the highest fall height protection when materials are six inches deep, more than twice that of wood mulch and three times that of playground sand. You don’t have to take our word for it – it’s regularly tested using the most stringent standards from ASTM and IPEMA including ASTM F1292, ASTM F1951, ASTM F3012 and ASTM F3351.
Keeping children safe on the playground should be the number one priority and recycled rubber’s durability allows for a long lasting and quality solution. For instance, rubber mulch does not need to be replaced annually—you can go for years without needing a light top-off, since the color doesn’t fade and the mulch doesn’t rot or compress. In fact, rubber mulch can last more than 12 times longer than standard wood mulch, meaning you spend less time and money on long-term upkeep.
Additionally, our products can help your organization meet sustainability goals. We repurpose end-of-life tires others have discarded, transforming them into meaningful products while lowering carbon emissions and driving a greener tomorrow.

How Recycled Rubber Mulch Outshines Alternatives
Rubber nugget mulch has the tallest fall height protection for playgrounds, preventing kids from sustaining serious injuries. On top of that, it uses recycled material, lasts longer than other materials of similar composition, and stays in place better due to its heavier weight. Because of these benefits and its cost savings, our mulch is the playground material of choice for many of America’s largest school districts, theme parks, HOAs, governments and more.
