Playground Rubber Mulch for Chicago
Chicago’s extensive park system and public school network demand surfacing that’s safe, compliant, and built to last. Our Playground Rubber Mulch meets and exceeds safety standards required by the Chicago Park District and CPS schools, including IPEMA and ASTM F-1292 impact certifications.
Designed to endure Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rainfall, our mulch provides long-term safety and color retention. It’s also ADA compliant, ensuring accessibility for every child in urban playgrounds, schoolyards, and residential backyards throughout neighborhoods like Logan Square, Wicker Park, and Beverly.
Landscape Rubber Mulch for Chicago Properties
In Chicago’s dense urban landscape, maintaining green spaces can be challenging. Our Landscape Rubber Mulch offers a low-maintenance, weather-resistant alternative to traditional wood mulch.
Perfect for rooftop gardens in the Loop, front yards in Lakeview, or commercial properties in River North, it provides superior moisture retention, vibrant long-lasting color, and effective weed suppression. The mulch does not attract pests—ideal for high-density residential areas and commercial developments that require durability with a polished appearance year-round.

Equestrian Rubber Mulch for Chicago Stables
Even within the greater Chicago area, from Barrington Hills to Beverly, our Equestrian Rubber Mulch is trusted for creating cleaner, safer, and more stable riding environments.
It reduces dust in indoor arenas, improves drainage during Chicago’s wet spring months, and offers a cushioned surface that’s gentle on hooves. For both urban stables and suburban equestrian facilities, our rubber mulch provides the comfort, durability, and low maintenance that riders and horse owners rely on year after year.
Ballistic Rubber Mulch for Chicago Ranges
Safety and performance are essential for Chicago-area shooting ranges, and our Ballistic Rubber Mulch delivers both. Designed to safely absorb bullets, it serves as a reliable backstop material for indoor and outdoor ranges.
