Product was as described and expected. I ended up using 47 bags for the playground so the calculator was great. I did get some conflicting texts and emails regarding the delivery, but overall was great. Only issue I had was that the delivery is literally curbside. The freight driver will only drop off the pallet at the street. I l live out in the country and my driveway is long and the playground is not close either. It would have been a challenge to transport that many bags manually. Luckily, I have a trailer and was able to off-load the pallet onto the trailer and I was able to move it where I needed. The "curbside delivery" needs to be emphasized a bit so that the customer can understand and make appropriate accommodations.

It wasn't Vigoro and it wasn't cypress. We sent the first pallet back and ordered a replacement, but the replacement was exactly the same as the original. Not a nice tan color, but an ugly gray. We gave up.

We purchased this to Line our front garden beds. It looks great, it was easy to spread. It comes with a guarantee for years of color, so will let you know in 10 years if that works out for us. I would definitely recommend.

We were very excited to add this to our existing playground mulch! It is so vibrant and soft. The children in my childcare are loving the extra squish! Worth not having to worry about injuries.

Color is awful
Major regrets about this purchase. The color is nowhere near what was advertised. This product is black with a slight brown tinge where the chips are frayed. The shape/size of the mulch is also worse than the retail product you'd pick up at the store. Strong avoid.

    Very Happy
    Color is exactly as I envisioned. Properties of this product are exactly what I wanted. I used the estimation tool on another page to figure how much to purchase. We'll see how close I am when I finish the rest. I purchased 3 pallets with the spring sale early last month. I was extremely happy with the price and delivery by Estes. It was for curbside delivery, and the driver did not even hesitate, brought it all the way up the driveway and placed them exactly where I wanted. Big kudos!

      This rubber bark is a awesome color. I was told it gets really hot for your plants. So try to make a large circle directly under the plant to keep it a little cooler.

      More expensive than regular mulch but lasts a LONG time. I have 3 year old patches that look exactly like my fresh beds.

      These are great, replaced all the wood mulch so I don't need to buy wood mulch anymore. This is potentially a savings over the 12 year guaranteed life. Also did this to avoid termites and other bugs that love mulch. We also put our around a play area, which looks better, prevents need to mow and is softer if they fall. On one negative I wish they had a cut pattern set as the random shredding is not always as soft on bare feet as it could be but it's not as bad as walking on rocks or wood mulch. 1 pallet would have covered the entire play area pictured but I had a lot of garden space around decks and whatnot which is not shown

      Absolutely not ok for use in playgrounds
      This rubber mulch is generally clean of non-rubber, however within less than 30 days my son has stepped on two pieces with metal wires sticking out and the metal has stuck into his foot. I'll be contacting home depot to determine what my options are for reopening, because I've already spread it across the playground.

        I didn’t get the mulch that I ordered. I wanted Vigoro because I’ve used their products before and like/trust their qaulity. The Vigoro brand can be found in the store but I was shipped an off brand (IPC). I need more mulch but can’t find the brand that was sent so now I have to compare rubber mulch types to match what I have. It took three weeks to get my order delivered. I should have picked up from my home store.

        We apologize for any confusion! When ordering this item, you will not receive bags stating the "Vigoro" name brand. You will obtain generic bags listing "Nuggets" on the front. However, the contents of the Vigoro bags you see in store and the material received in generic bags will be the same. We hope this provides some clarification. IMCTE

        was delivered and placed on the road
        Had no issues with the item, it was well packed. The only issue was that when it was delivered, it was just left on the road, which could have been easily hit by incoming vehicles if we hadnt rushed home to move it before it got dark.

        Thank you for your feedback! These deliveries are curbside. Depending on your area, that can mean at the very end of a driveway near the street. Because the carriers require someone to be present to sign for the material, we recommend moving the mulch to the desired location at that time. If the carrier did not contact you to set up an appointment so you were present for the delivery, please let us know at imccs@imcoutdoorliving.com. IMCTE

          Dangerous for kids
          We spent a small fortune ($700ish) covering our playground with this stuff a year ago. What others have said is true: you see long strands, huge chunks, and pieces of tread. This week, we began reading about the dangerous chemicals in Vigoro’s recycled tire mulch. Do your homework. We are now having to pull it all out to go with a non-toxic option. Huge waste of time and money. This stuff is not for kids. The US EPA should do a better job of protecting US citizens and banning this stuff.

          For more than 20 years our focus has always been on product safety and product quality. Our products, made from 100% recycled rubber, undergo stringent third-party testing multiple times each year against government standards and have no known negative human health effects. As we make our mulch from end-of-life tires, we do not change the composition of the rubber in the tire, we only reduce the size to manufacture this product. Our mission of sustainability and being better stewards of the land is at the core of what we do. IMCTE

            Wrong color and busted bags
            I reordered 25 bags of what was supposed to be black recycled rubber mulch. We’re in a drought and we recently moved in and the plant beds needed attention. The mulch delivered is expresso brown. We spread it anyway and now i have 2 colors of mulch, black across the front and brown on the sides and back. 3 of the bags on bottom had burst open.

              NOT PLAYGROUND SAFE!
              DO NOT PURCHASE this for a children's playground. IT IS DANGEROUS! After one of our children started crying, we found that there are sharp pieces of rusty metal embedded throughout numerous pieces of the rubber.

                Its shredded and dyed tires. That being said, the dye bleeds on clothing and hands. The bags are light and easy to handle. Each bag covers roughly the same area as the bag itself, it doesn't really fluff up much. It does the job.

                Playground Mulch
                Love this mulch for under playground. Grandbaby loves the bouncy feel as she runs across it. Color is darker green than expected but still looks nice.

                Vigoro Red Mulch labeled is actually Brown with Black rubber exposed.
                The color of the mulch was not red and not dyed evenly, black rubber mostly exposed as black.

                  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.
