This summer we have been doing some landscaping to our backyard and making it a place of entertainment for our family and friends. We wanted to be sure to keep our playground set because my kids love going to parks and playing on their school playgrounds so it was important to keep ours at home. We debated getting rid of it, but I convinced my husband to keep it for them while they still used it. Once the summer heat goes away they are always swinging!
As we added new sod and some rock to our backyard, I started looking at all different playground surfacing when I was visiting commercial playgrounds and schools. There are so many new and improved choices from the standard mulch and rocks which can be hard on feet. I began to notice rubber mulch which can be great playground surfaces because it is softer than some choices and lasts longer than the mulch made from trees. I love the idea of not having to replace it as often and creating less work for us. Although the rubber mulch is a little more expensive you can often buy bulk rubber mulch or even wholesale rubber mulch to save a little extra money. The rubber mulch is environmentally friendly and has a lifetime guarantee adding another reason for me to consider purchasing it.
Rubberecycle is a company that sells this recycled mulch and offers great ideas on different ways to use at your home. There are so many great ways to use this product all while being earth friendly.
