A: In Northern California I put it in my 24’ by 24’ playground area in Summer 2021. I put down overlapping black landscaping fabric held down my pins then 240 bags of mulch to a depth of approximately 6”. My brown rubber mulch has not faded nor does it smell. I have had 2 tiny, sickly weeds sneak through it all. I’m very pleased and it was worth every penny for the safety of my 3 grandchildren age 7 and under !

Q:Are the rubber nuggets larger than the rubber mulch? My landscapers blow away the tiny pieces of rubber mulch
by|Mar 8, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: The rubber nuggets are more of a chunk. Since the material is a recycled product, there will be size variance in the nugget size. To eliminate the mulch from being blown away, please use a leaf blower, at a low setting, to skim the top of the mulch.

Red rubber mulch works for weed control.
Good color. 40 lb just right to handle.

Most recent
This mulch appeared to already be several years old. Color is grayish .couple of bags were already open on top of the 50 bag pile. I have bought other black rubber mulch and you can can see the difference.

Excellent product
As another reviewer stated, if it's in your budget this product is a worthwhile upgrade over wood mulch and worth the premium.
One thing that doesn't come across in the pictures is the sheen of this product, it has a very eye pleasing, always wet look and walking on it feels like trekking across an alien landscape. If used as playground fill your kids will love it.
The manufacturer suggest no weed barrier, just spray a pre-emergent and lay down the mulch. So that's what I did, as pictured.

Very disappointed with color of green mulch
When the mulch arrived, it looked mostly black with a slight tint of green (see photo). I am very disappointed; the mulch color does not look like the picture on the Home Depot site. I waited since Oct 2021 to April 2022 to get the green mulch because it was out of stock.

So far so good!
So far so good. I just recently put down the rubber mulch, but already am pleased. I love the fact that it stays black, which is great contrast to the green lawn. We've had strong winds and rain lately and the rubber stays in place...a much improvement over wood mulch that starts flowing away with the rain.

My lawn company recommended this due to my allergies, and to reduce pests. Expensive, but the finished product is amazing.
I am allergic to mold

Fair price and decent quality
There is a pretty strong tire smell upon opening the bags but I don’t notice it now after a few days! 1 pallet gave us enough mulch to go under a climbing dome and most of our front yard project as well! Shipping was faster then it quoted! Would buy again

Metal pieces
Though Home Depot went over and beyond to try and resolve the issue I would not recommend this particular rubber mulch. Everyday we continuously found metal sticking out of rubber causing it to even puncture through shoes. Do not order this if your using for a playground.
