Decorative rubber mulch is a
relatively new entry in garden products. It is just beginning to
be recognized as an economical and superior alternative to
traditional wood mulch with many beneficial properties.
Costs less over time
for labor and material
Because RMD rubber mulch does not deteriorate, it only needs to be
refreshed about every 5 to 8 years rather than once or twice a year,
depending on how often you wish to freshen up your topcoat.
Healthy environment
for plantings
- Inhibits mold and fungus growth
- Excellent drainage; RMD rubber mulch does not compress or flatten
out, so water continues to get to plants
- Controls weed growth
- We recommend a weed liner below the mulch for best results
Will not attract nesting
insects
Unlike wood mulch, recycled rubber mulch does not offer an attractive
nesting ground to insects.
Stays in place
Rubber is significantly heavier than wood so it does not blow or
wash away in heavy rain so
your landscape continues to look good over time.
Safe (non-toxic)
RMD rubber mulch is softer than wood.
Aesthetically pleasing
RMD rubber mulch can be painted to resemble wood, or to a custom
color. Our stock colors are: cocoa brown, black and cedar red. RMD
mulch is guaranteed colorfast for eight (8) years. We use a licensed
coloration process allowing us to achieve 100% coverage of the rubber
particle.
Environmentally responsible
Using RMD rubber mulch conserves natural resources. RMD rubber
mulch is made of 100% recycled tires.
Odor free
Fire resistant
RMD landscape mulch is manufactured to a 1” nominal
specification. You can purchase your mulch directly from
RMD, or from many chain stores.

information, technical papers, and test results.
Installation Tips
- Apply weed barrier before mulch installation for best weed prevention
results.
- Rinse final applied area with hose at finish of installation
to remove any dust accrued during storage and shipping
- Install 2" to 4" of RMD Rubber Mulch according to
coverage calculator.
Failure to install product properly and maintain its
level of performance in areas of use invalidates its guarantee.
