Installing Mulch for Playgrounds

  • The ground area where the playground will lie should either be in a location that will not hold water or have slight grade to allow for proper drainage. In areas where drainage could be an issue; it is recommended to install a drain tile system, with a 3" base of pea gravel or rock to allow for proper drainage.
  • Heavy duty weed fabric should be installed under the mulch to separate the mulch from what lies beneath. Depending on the size of the playground, it is recommended to use large rolls of weed fabric (12’ width rolls) to minimize the number seams.
  • Use landscape stakes to stake down weed fabric seams and corners. Make sure the stakes are completely hammered down.
  • Rubber landscape edging / border is recommended to enclose the playground to contain the mulch. It is recommended to have a few inches between the top of the border and the top of the mulch.
  • It is recommended to loosely compact the mulch to either 3 or 6 inches to achieve the desired fall height rating.

Our Rubber mulch has one of the highest shock absorption ratings of any playground covering and rubber mulch, as outlined by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. It safely absorbs the impact of falls from heights greater than that of gravel, sand, wood chips and other mulches. Tests determined how high a child could safely fall into a layer of covering 6" deep. Here’s how we rate among other ground covers:

Critical height (maximum fall height) for tested materials given a 6" deep material ground cover.
