Thinking About Rubber Mulch for Your Home or Business?
St. John is one of the fastest-growing towns in Northwest Indiana, and anyone driving through the newer subdivisions off US 41 or 101st Avenue can see it. New homes, new landscape beds, new playgrounds, and new HOA common areas are going in every season. Recycled Rubber Products helps St. John homeowners, builders, schools, and property managers install landscape and playground mulch that still looks sharp a decade from now.
We are a family-owned, woman-operated supplier headquartered in Joliet, IL. Every pound of mulch we ship is made from 100% recycled American tires, backed by a 12-year color warranty, and tested to the same safety standards used by schools and municipalities.

Why Rubber Mulch Makes Sense for St. John Homes and Communities
Rubber mulch holds up differently:
- 12-year color warranty. The color will not fade, wash off, or stain clothing. That protects your curb appeal and your investment.
- Zero decomposition. Rubber does not rot, mold, compress, or freeze into a solid mat during Northwest Indiana winters.
- Fast drainage. Heavy spring and summer storms drain through rubber mulch quickly instead of pooling in your beds.
- No pest attraction. Unlike wood, rubber does not feed termites, carpenter ants, or other insects.
- Safer playgrounds. Our playground grade meets IPEMA, ASTM F-1292, and ASTM F-1951 standards for fall height and accessibility.
For HOAs and builders, the long-term math is simple. One rubber mulch install can replace 10-plus years of annual wood mulch contracts.

- New-construction landscaping. Builders and homeowners completing new builds in St. John’s growing subdivisions use RhinoMulch to finish landscape beds with a clean, durable look from day one.
