Skinned knees, painful bruises, and other injuries don’t have to be a part of play time when you surround your Rainbow Swing Set with Rubber Mulch Ground Cover from Rainbow Midwest. Additionally, a playground surrounded by rubber mulch cuts down on the time you need to spend mowing or weed trimming the area.
Safe, durable, decorative, and eco-friendly, Rubber Mulch Ground Cover is the #1 surface choice for homes, parks, daycare centers, churches, apartment buildings, and playgrounds across the country.
Rubber Mulch for More Fun, Fewer Injuries
Impact testing reveals that rubber mulch has a superior fall height rating — more than twice that of wood and three times that of playground sand. That means fewer bumps and bruises and greater safety and fun for your kids.

Rubber Mulch Benefits
- Eco-friendly and made from completely recycled products
- Attractive and maintains its beauty despite years of exposure to the elements
- Durable because it’s five times heavier than wood mulch. That means it doesn’t float, absorb water, or break down after heavy rains or flooding
- Pest-free and unlike other materials, it does not attract termites, carpenter ants, or other insects
- Cost-effective because it doesn’t have to be replaced like other playground materials that decompose or fade
- Decorative and available in a variety of colors including, royal blue, forest green, coated black, uncoated black, terra cotta red, and cocoa brown
