Rubber mulch offers numerous tangible benefits, and is quickly becoming the preeminent choice of daycare centers and schools in need of a new playground surface. One of the top benefits rubber mulch provides is superior protection against injury. The extra padding will help break falls, and prevent children from scraping or cutting their arms and knees.
Other admired benefits of rubber mulch include the fact it will not require constant upkeep, it will be cleaned by the rain and will not have to habitually replaced, like many other surfaces annually do.
