Rubber Mulch Safety Surfacing for Playgrounds

Bound rubber mulch path

A new type of safety surfacing for playgrounds, bound rubber mulch is safe, seamless, hard wearing and can be laid over almost any type of existing ground without the need for foundations, making is a cheaper alternative to wetpour.

Bound rubber mulch safety surfacing for playgrounds is composed of rubber shreds mixed with a resin binder to form continuous safety surfacing that is most commonly used in playgrounds and landscaped areas.

Murphy Playground Services provides safety surfacing for playgrounds that is attractive, easy-to-clean, low-maintenance and the surface doesn’t collect debris. We also provide a fully inclusive 7-year warranty on surface, edging and associated groundworks.

Bound Rubber Mulch is a fully porous surface that can be easily swept or hosed in paved areas and doesn’t obstruct a mower in grass areas. When used for tree surrounds it will flex with the growth of the tree so there is no need to trim the edge to allow for tree growth. The same applies to surrounds for benches, bins, outdoor equipment or any other structure making it an ideal choice for parks, public areas, schools, exercise areas, activity trails, playgrounds, paths, picnic and leisure areas and domestic applications.

Porous, long lasting, cost effective, safe and green (100% recycled material) and available in a range of colours to blend in with your own project.

What problem does it address?

•  High wear grass areas such as zip wires and embankment slides
• Difficult to mow landscaped areas such as narrow strips along fencing, slopes and rockeries
