About This Product

Ground Grip Mulch & Rock Glue is a ready to use solution that locks your landscaping in place. It works on mulch, pea gravel, rock, stone, and pine straw. The formula applies light blue and dries clear, which helps you see exactly where the product has been applied before it sets. For best results, use on a dry, sunny day with no rain forecast for 24 hours. Apply in thin, even layers with a sprayer or watering can to create a consistent, water permeable bond that keeps landscaping areas tidy without affecting natural drainage. Ground Grip is safe for people, pets, and plants when used as directed. It is a great solution for landscaping beds, pathways, patios including pea gravel, and decorative rock areas where a clean, finished look is desired. The ready to use glue keeps the process simple compared to products that require mixing and helps homeowners maintain beautiful, low maintenance outdoor spaces.

    Can plant flowers after it’s applied?
    ByOct 2, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Hi! Yes, you can plant flowers after applying Pennington Ground Grip. You may need to break through or move aside the bonded mulch or rock to access the soil for planting. After planting, you can reposition the landscaping material around your flowers and reapply Ground Grip as needed. Thank you for your question!

      Someone else asked this question and got a 'non-answer' answer. Now I'm going to ask the same one and maybe you Pennington guys can actually answer it this time; WILL A LEAF BLOWER BLOW THE 'GLUED GRAVEL' AWAY OR ONLY THE LEAVES OFF OF IT?
      BySep 21, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Hi! Once Ground Grip has fully dried, it is designed to help hold gravel and other landscaping materials in place. A leaf blower can be used to remove leaves and light debris; however, we recommend using a lower setting and keeping the blower a reasonable distance from the treated surface, as high-powered airflow could loosen smaller or lightweight gravel. Thank you!

        What type of cleanup for your sprayer after application?
        BySep 21, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hi! After applying Ground Grip, we recommend cleaning your sprayer immediately after use to prevent the product from drying inside the sprayer or nozzle. Empty any remaining product, then thoroughly rinse the tank, hose, wand, and nozzle with clean water until the water runs clear. Always follow your sprayer manufacturer’s cleaning instructions as well.

          How should I prepare a slightly sloped sandy pathway before applying this product?
          BySep 20, 2026
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hi! Before applying Ground Grip, make sure the area is clean, dry, and free of loose debris, weeds, and standing water. Level and compact the pathway as much as possible, particularly on sloped areas, and make sure the mulch or rock you are treating is evenly distributed and stable before application. Ground Grip is intended to help hold landscaping materials such as mulch and rock in place and is not designed to stabilize bare sand on its own. If you have questions about your specific pathway or application, please give us a call at 1-800-285-7333. We’ll be happy to help!

            I have 400 square feet to cover. How much should I purchase?
            BySep 17, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi! One gallon of Pennington Ground Grip covers up to approximately 150 sq. ft. per coat under ideal conditions. For a 400 sq. ft. area, you’ll need approximately 3 gallons for one coat. For best performance, we recommend applying 2–3 coats, which would require approximately 6–8 gallons total. Actual coverage may vary depending on the type and size of mulch or rock and the application rate. Thank you!

              What is coldest outside temperature this can be applied effectively?
              BySep 2, 2026
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hi! There is not a specific minimum outdoor application temperature listed for Ground Grip. For best results, apply the product to a clean, dry surface on a dry day with no rain expected for at least 24 hours. Please keep in mind that cooler temperatures can increase drying and curing time. If you have additional questions about applying the product in your specific conditions, please give us a call at 1-800-285-7333. Thank you!

                Can this be used on decomposed granite?
                BySep 1, 2026
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Hi! Yes, Pennington Ground Grip can be used on decomposed granite to help hold the material in place and reduce shifting. For best results, make sure the surface is clean and dry before application and apply on a dry day with no rain forecast for at least 24 hours. Thank you!

                  Do NOT buy
                  DOES NOT WORK. Spent $400+. Followed all the directions for it not to work. Did multiple layers and it still shifted below our feet. Chunks would come loose. And after our first rain it all dissolved. Wait of time and money

                    Landscape Glue
                    I purchased 1 gallon of Ground Grip mulch and rock glue to use on a 5×10 walk way. I am very pleased with this product. I've only used 2/3 of the gallon so far. I applied 1/3 on one day and sprayed another 3rd on the next day. I used my blower to blow the leaves off the walkway both days with no rock movement. Also, this product puts a shine on the rocks. I will definitely purchase again.

                      Does not perform well
                      I used this product to bond small granite chip gravel down in my driveway. At first it seemed to work well. Sprayed down evenly and then dried by the next day. A couple days later we got rain. The product returned to a milky color when it was wet. Then once it dried clear again and sat in the sun for a while it became very sticky. It sticks to your shoes in clumps when you walk across the driveway. I had used a competitors product on a different section of the driveway and had zero of these issues. Both products look the same and apply the same when you’re putting them down but this product is clearly inferior and inconsistent. Now I’m not sure how to fix the problem at this point. Very disappointing.

                        I found it very easy and simple to apply it is rather thick and will clog up the entry price point hdx sprayer tip, I found it worked better taking out the swirl core, I was amazed how well it worked, I did however make a mistake and not moving around the gravel and then pack it down I just sprayed it on the gravel I had already packed down, it kind of feels like I'm walking on rice Krispie treats.

                        Just what I was looking for. Easy to apply, makes trimming the yard so much easier and grass and leaves blow right off. Getting ready to order more!

                        Useless Product
                        We bought and applied this product hoping it would keep the mulch in place. In our experience it was absolutely useless and a waste of money.

                          Grips
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ground grip glue works to cover and set landscape rocks and mulch to give you that aesthetic look. This prevents extra movement and does well to keep things in place.

                            Great product! The glue is easy to apply. Used a sprayer which made it an easy process. Fist I evened out the rocks with a rake. Then applied the glue using a sprayer. Easy process. Dried quickly. Applied a second coat as recommended. All looks good.

                            Don't use in gravel driveways
                            I'm rather disappointed in this product. Does the gravel stick together when used, yes. However, do not even think about using it on a gravel driveway. I did and even though I let it cure for 3 whole days, the glue still stuck to my tires and I kid you not, chunks as wide as my tires and as long as 8 inches were stuck to my tires and made more of a mess when I drove off the gravel onto the paved curb. I bought 3 of these and we'll, that's $150 down the toilet.
