Certified Playground Mulch

Certified playground mulch is a specialized wood-based material designed specifically for use in play areas. This mulch is processed and screened to meet safety standards, ensuring it is free from hazardous materials and large, sharp pieces. The certification guarantees that the mulch provides a cushioned, impact-absorbing surface, reducing the risk of injuries from falls.

The unique attribute of being "certified" means this mulch has passed rigorous testing for particle size, composition, and performance, making it ideal for playgrounds, parks, and daycare centers. Its soft, fibrous texture is gentle on bare feet and hands, while also offering excellent drainage to prevent puddling after rain. In addition to safety, certified playground mulch is easy to install and maintain, though it may require periodic topping off to maintain proper depth and performance. This material is not only a practical choice for safety but also enhances the appearance of recreational spaces.
