Rubber mulch is a landscaping material made from recycled rubber, often sourced from old tires. It is commonly used in playgrounds, gardens, and landscaping projects due to its durability and ability to withstand weather conditions. Unlike traditional wood mulch, rubber mulch does not decompose, which means it lasts longer and requires less frequent replacement. In addition to its longevity, rubber mulch provides excellent drainage and helps to suppress weed growth. It is available in various colors, allowing for creative landscaping designs. However, some concerns have been raised about its environmental impact and potential chemical leaching into the soil.
