          Answer This Question

          Thank you for interest in our product. In more than 20 years, we are unaware of any PEER-reviewed independent study that has concluded that the use of recycled rubber was the cause of any adverse human health issues.

                Does this rubber mulch float away during heavy rain?
                ByApr 24, 2026

                Answer This Question

                I used mulch glue to keep our black mulch from mixing with pea gravel in our decorative landscape beds. It worked like a charm. Before this, water would pour over the gutters in torrential rains and mix everything together!!

                By|May 11, 2026

                  Thank you for your inquiry! Under normal weather conditions, proper drainage, and borders, the rubber mulch should stay in its intended location.

                    fantastic! but WEAR GLOVES when handling (leaves black residue on skin)
                    This review is for the SUPER SACK of black-colored rubber mulch (75 cu. ft). I couldn't be happier with i! So much easier than buying a pallet of 50 individual plastic bags of the mulch, having to hassle with cutting open each bag individually, 50 times in a row. This "super sack" was a MASSIVE size burlap (plastic?) pouch that was delivered by semi truck, on a pallet. Even though it was supposed to be only "curbside" delivery (by a company here in the midwest called Central Transport) the driver was kind enough to wheel it up my driveway to the house area, a very short distance, using a pallet jack. (I live in a rural area where there literally ARE no curbs around!.... so can't exactly do curbside delivery then, right?) I slipped him a cash tip and insisted that he take it, because the Super Sack weighs 1,900 lbs on its pallet (at least that's what the shipping invoice said). When you slit the super-sack open, to begin spreading out the rubber mulch, WEAR GLOVES! I can't stress this enough. Put on a pair of skin-tight latex gloves. Then a pair disposable rubber gloves. Then finally your normal gardening gloves. Take it from me, I wish I had done this! I had noticable black-color staining under my fingernails for literally DAYS after spreading this rubber-mulch, no matter how much I scrubbed and washed my hands. Oh well. I'm still extremely happy with this product, and hoping that it will prevent weeds from growing on my patio area like it had advertised. Here are some photos of before & after. Highly recommended!

                      This was exactly what we were looking for! It covers beautifully. The rubber mulch looks so much better than wood and lasts longer!

                      Love this rubber mulch. No real tire odor. Very easy to lay down. Now it will take time to see if it meets my expectations. Very large sack. It went very far. You won't be disappointed

                      Make sure the correct product is delivered
                      Bought this mulch but received an off brand instead that had poor color. Refused the shipment and HomeDepot immediately refunded my money. Customer service was excellent but allowing replacements of a trusted brand should not be allowed.

                        We loved this mulch. The color and quality seem good. Plan to buy more to cover whole area.

                        This was recommended by a sales person at home Depot. So tired of doing mulch every year as getting older it gets harder. So far its easy to use & holds its color..its a little more than regular mulch but worth it not having to do it every year. I do like it better than reg mulch & very easy to use. No fading & a 12 yr guarantee for color. I'm very happy with this product & to the saleswoman at Home Depot.
