With it being a relatively new technology, the jury is still out on rubber mulch. Although the Environmental Protection Agency has ruled it safe, skeptics still doubt its usefulness. While these studies continue and scientists fight to prove or disprove their claims, let us take a look at existing usage of this controversial recycled fill.

Children's Playgrounds

A trip to the civic center and its playground is always a tiring experience for parents with toddlers. New to the world of bipedal motion, these tiny tots like to run at top speed, to their parents' horror. With the new grounds compressed with rubber mulch, each fall is less dangerous and the chance of knees getting scraped is lessened. The curious, bright color of the mulch also gets them to stay put for a bit, affording the tired sitters actual sitting time. Just be careful they don't try to taste it.

Track Fields

Stadiums are now using rubber mulch as a cheap alternative to running tracks. They have less repair costs as well since the former can contract and expand without tearing or lumping, a disadvantage with the latter. In addition, athletes benefit from this mulch for training and exercise. The minced tires lessen the stress on each footfall. Not only that, the wait time after a downpour is reduced since water is quickly drained downwards.

Horse Shows

The beautiful contour of a horse is often concealed by the amount of dust all his or her prancing about causes. Rubber mulch not only absorbs water, which allows horses to remain cleaner, but dust, to boot, which makes the view clearer. Riding ranges with rubber mulch can now open their doors to horse lovers with asthma or dust allergies. The horses will thank them for the softer ground, too. The new ground provides shock absorption for all their gallivanting and galloping.

Rubber Asphalt

Roads in Florida and Arizona are considered frontrunners when it comes to the application of rubber asphalt on public roads. The rubber mulch is mixed with asphalt for a hybrid highway that would last longer. Even though rubber comes from a tree, the chemicals used to prevent tires from eroding extend the rubber mulch's lifespan. This allowance helps decrease and allows the postponement of road maintenance and costs.

The landscaping value of rubber mulch may be up to a lot of debate but runners attest to it. It is soft on the feet and absorbs shock. It prevents mud puddles and dust clouds. It is also a great way to recycle tires that would have otherwise been burned.
