Customer Reviews for Vigoro 0.8 cu. ft. Brown Bagged Recycled Rubber Mulch

I hope it last as long as it says. Waiting for a big rain storm to see if it moves. Seems more durable than shredded mulch. I am curious to see how long the color lasts. I do see paints out there for the mulch so I am optimistic

I got 70ish bag delivered. The delivery was fine but the pallet the bags were on fell over soon after delivery and blocked the street I live on and few bags were ripped inside the pallet. Other than that the product itself is fantastic and really makes the playground safer.

Takes a while to get rid of the rubber smell! Looks good tho, definitely worth the time as it lasts way longer and you don’t have to replace it every few months! Truly does look like real wood mulch! Who’s they had red tho. Price could be 2.50 dollars cheaper tho over 200 for 30 bags is a bit steep!

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.

I use this on a walkway that will never be planted. I would not use it as a mulch around plants or in my flower beds. It’s very east to put down and is attractive as a walkway. I had applied the red rubber mulch 10-15 years ago and it lasted very well!

Really like the chunky think look and it is holding up very well in our heavy hot humid summer season. Have ordered more for feature areas.

This isn’t my first time choosing this product, though I prefer the nugget shape, the end result is the same. They don’t float away, they don’t fade, the squirrels don’t eat them and a bag or two a season for a refresh is as easy as it gets. Works great with mulch glue to make a relatively permanent walk way also.

Mixed three different colors together (half bag at a time in a wheelbarrow using small shovel to mix it together) then laid in a pretty steep sloped flowerbed. Easy to lay and stays well on the slope. Very soft and cushy too.

This is great mulch to use. What I like is that this mulch will last and not discolor. You pay a little extra up front but your savings over the years will definitely be worth it. Also, lighter to handle. I went 6 years between my first mulch using this until my recent top coating. I'm using this in a 300 square ft area so that speaks volumes.

Lasts longer than TX treated wood bark. Reduces bugs and deters cat pooping in garden beds. Looks clean and esthetically beautiful. .

I was expanding my landscaping under a newly renovated deck & this rubber mulch was added to my existing mulch. It blended perfectly and the coverage area was better then I expected!

Photo shows small pieces, but these are chunky pieces. This is ok as they will not blow away in high winds. Rubber smell lasted about 1 week, but had since disappeared.

We are thrilled with this rubber mulch. Its so easy to spread, no splinters and so fast to lay out and its so nice to walk on too. But most of all it looks beautiful and we get a ton of compliments. People are shocked its rubber. You cant tell.

Nice looking mulch that stays in place due to the heaviness of it.

It looks really like real wood. It looks good and will buy more later.

Garden fill looks great

This rubber mulch is a gorgeous brown color. The size of the pieces is excellent. This mulch will last longer than wood mulch and it won't have the potential of drawing bugs like the wood mulch does.

Bought this rubber mulch because i was tired of battling weeds and replacing the wood mulch every year. It looks fantastic! Plus it wont breakdown and the color is guaranteed for 12 years. Super happy with the purchase.

Have considered it for a few years. We are getting older and are not able to keep up with maintenance our yard looked atrocious. Which is a first. I research the rubber mulch. Over the years it seems they made some improvements. I decided to bite the bullet and and invest in them. Right now, so glad I did!!!! No one knows it’s mulch. My husband who is the yard Sargent came home and looked. He had no idea. I told him to look at it again and touch it. I heard a loud WOW! There is no odor as some say. Well it’s so faint when you first open the bag. By the time you lay it down the smell is gone. The real test will be how long this investment will last. I am very optimistic and very happy.

Is exactly what I needed. Kids to love it. It is extremely worth using!

My dog is afraid to walk on it, but it looks great! I can’t wait to finish my back yard using this stuff. Very comfortable to walk on, and visually looks great!

I was hesitant to spend the extra money on the rubber mulch as I needed 203 bags. Im glad i did as I dont have to worry about replacing it every year. Plus it doesnt attract bugs.

I chose this mulch because I like that it was made from recyclable materials and the 12 year sustainability.

I have been using rubber Much for a few years . Recently I purchased 50 bags of the brown rubber mulch to redo certain driveway areas. The “pellet” size has changed to 1/10 size.The wind is now blowing the new “mulch” everywhere around the driveway. The new stuff is useless and it was expensive. Horrible!

Easy to install. But ran short and had to purchase more from another store. The second batch was a different color. Had to mix the first and last batch to blend.

glad to put old tires to use and bonus it is great for playset base

We purchased this for our children’s playground since it is labeled safe for playgrounds but my children and I have stepped on wires sticking out of multiple pieces. No other option but to try and figure out how to return 40 bags of this stuff!!!

Great mulch, what I like the most about this mulch is that you can walk over it and no soil sticks on your feet. It will not float away during heavy rain.

Great product wated to put river rock in my flower beds but found this to be easier. Looks nice

Looks real, and no can tell unless you touch it. Great deal!
