Rubber Mulch

Rubber Mulch is the perfect choice as a safety surface for your home playground, school playground, municipal playground or private playground. Compared with wood mulch or other surfaces, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is much safer, more cost-effective, durable, environmentally-friendly and lower-maintenance (you save time and hassle by removing the need to re-apply your safety surfacing once or twice every year). Plus, rubber mulch is clean - minimizing airborne dust and particles.

As playground safety surfacing, a 6-inch layer of Pinnacle Rubber Mulch will cushion a child's fall from as high as 16 feet. With more than 150,000 children injured each year as a result of playground falls (as reported by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Council), safety surfacing is the most vital component of playground construction. Pinnacle Rubber Mulch has been certified by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA).

Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is nontoxic and non-staining - the color will not rub off on children or pets, even in the rain. Plus, rubber mulch is clean, minimizes airborne dust and particles, and will not result in painful splinters like wood mulch. Available in six colors, Pinnacle Playground Rubber Mulch is a superior solution for every playground project.

Environmentally Safe for Kids and Pets (and you)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has endorsed the use of recycled rubber to cushion the surfaces of children's playgrounds. For more information, visit www.epa.gov/osw/conserve/tools/cpg/products/playgrnd.htm.

Across the nation, discarded rubber tires are being recycled and reused in innovative ways that promote safety and represent ingenuity. In as many as 100 studies in state after state, researchers have reached the same conclusion...

Recycled rubber poses no significant health or environmental risk.

In fact, rubber mulch is a superior choice for safety surfacing, affords ADA-Qualified wheelchair accessibility and doesn't splinter, fade, compress, decompose, wash or blow away. Plus, recycling old tires into useful, safe products prevents hundreds of thousands of scrap tires from littering landfills and the countryside.

Rubber Mulch is Smarter
Because you do not have to re-apply rubber mulch every year, you can save up to 65% over 5 years compared to traditional wood mulch. You save not only the costs of buying new mulch, but also on the labor of re-applying it on a yearly basis.


Rubber Mulch is Stronger
Unlike wood mulch, rubber mulch doesn't splinter, is resistant to decomposition, wind and water erosion, bug and rodent infestation, and fading caused by sunlight. Rubber mulch lasts up to 10 times longer and retains is color and vibrancy while not staining clothes or skin - even in the rain.

Rubber Mulch is Safer
A softer surface than traditional wood mulch, impact studies have shown a significant reduction in contusion and head-related injuries. Extensive testing by the EPA and certification by the IPEMA supports rubber mulch as environmentally-friendly and safe for your kids and pets. Rubber Mulch also offers ADA-Qualified wheelchair accessibility.

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment of the California Environmental Protection Agency tested skin sensitization by playground surfaces made of recycled tires and found no sensitization observed suggesting that these surfaces would not cause skin sensitization in children, nor would they be expected to elicit skin reaction in children already sensitized to latex.

ChemRisk, Inc. in Pittsburgh conducted a review of exposure to recycled tire rubber found on playgrounds and synthetic turf fields. They concluded that no adverse human health or ecological health effects are likely to result from these beneficial reuses of tire materials.

Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is an innovative and eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood mulch for landscaping. Compared to wood mulch, rubber mulch is more cost-effective, durable, environmentally-friendly and lower-maintenance. Plus, rubber mulch is clean - minimizing airborne dust and particles. Available in six fade-resistant colors, rubber mulch is a superior solution for your residential or commercial landscaping project.

Landscapers have relied upon organic mulch as groundcover for hundreds of years for one simple reason: There was no better alternative. Now, with the introduction of a smarter solution, landscapers are embracing Pinnacle Rubber Mulch for its classic style and unparalleled performance.

Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is a high-performance landscaping material, requiring re-application less often by remaining bright and plush - and in place:

• Will not fade for up to 12 years
  
• Will not blow away or wash away
  
• Will not decompose or compress
  

Because you won't need to re-mulch for up to 12 years, you save on the costs of buying new mulch and on the labor of re-applying it on a yearly basis.

Today, smart solutions save not only time and money, but the the environment as well. As a green alternative, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch saves trees and provides an outlet for keeping millions of scrap tires out of landfills each year.

Pinnacle Rubber Mulch helps Americans recycle and reuse 89.3 percent of the scrap tires generated annually - compared to just 40 percent of plastic bottles.

Smarter Landscapes From the Ground Up
With the texture of traditional wood mulch and a variety of natural and vibrant colors, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch combines beauty and performance. Unlike wood, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch does not attract bugs, rodents, mold or mildew.

By not compressing or flattening, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch provides excellent drainage. Because rubber mulch does not absorb moisture, water continues to get to plants, but weed growth is controlled.

The advanced technology used to clean, process, and convert used tires into Pinnacle Rubber Mulch ultimately creates a material that is non-allergenic and harmless to plants, pets and children - without depleting our natural resources.

Rubber Mulch is Smarter
You can save up to 65% over 5 years compared to traditional wood mulch - based on materials and labor. You save not only the costs of buying new mulch, but also on the labor of re-applying it on a yearly basis. Rubber Mulch also doesn't freeze or absorb water, making it a vastly superior solution in wintery and temperate climates.
