Does anyone no where I can get the rubber mulch for a playground? I am in Texas and I can not find a website or anything that tells about this stuff. we would like to put it in our prek-k playground where the gravel is.

Thank you,
Andrea

thank you all those website's helped out alot.

Andi - they also have a new material that you can actually use for basketball courts and play areas. Depending on where you plan to put this, you can actually surface an entire area with rubberized material. It's a HUGE expense, but depending on your funding, you may feel its worth it. I learned of it via the playground websites. The World Needs Play -- Playworld Systems, Inc. has a description of what they have on their website and then you can price compare from there.

At our local Long Branch CA public park, we had purchased Rubber Mulch from a company in New Jersey called Rubberecycle we found the site in google.com We are very pleased with the price, timely delivery and goo customer service, good deal.

We Highly recommend rubberecycle for mulch products

Have a nice day

My school donated a playground a couple of years back and to save a couple of thousand we opted for the rubber shred instead of other surfaces.

I believe it was a huge mistake. The shred is still pretty expensive, but it causes many issues. First is that it gets tracked everywhere. The blacktop area next to the playground always has shred everywhere. Next there is requirements about how deep it must be. This points out that if doing a new playground make sure you officially donate it to the school/town so that they are the responsible party. I believe the requirement is 2 or 3 feet deep. Problem is that it is always moving. A kid slides down the slide and the shred moves. A kid jumps off the monkeybars and creates a crater in the shred. I truly wish that the committee at the time had gone with a more permanent safety surface.

Just something to think about.
