Mulch (Playground)
Applications & Uses
Playground Mulch
Playground mulch is a specialized type of mulch designed specifically for use in play areas and recreational spaces. Unlike standard landscaping mulch, playground mulch is typically made from processed wood fibers or engineered wood chips that are screened and tested to meet safety standards for impact absorption. This ensures a softer, more cushioned surface that helps reduce the risk of injuries from falls.
The unique attribute of being "playground" mulch means it is free from sharp objects, large sticks, and other debris, making it safer for children. It also provides excellent drainage, helping to keep play areas drier and less muddy after rain. Common applications include under swing sets, slides, jungle gyms, and other playground equipment in both residential backyards and public parks. While playground mulch requires periodic replenishment to maintain proper depth and safety, its ability to create a clean, attractive, and protective surface makes it a top choice for play environments.
