Our Amazing Rubber Mulches

KinderMulch rubber mulch is an excellent way to safe-guard your children while playing on a playground. When used as recommended, KinderMulch is a safe, cost effective, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional playground coverings. KinderMulch 3/4", Premium KinderMulch 3/8", and Shredded KinderMulch 3" are 99.9% free of all trapped metal and are the best playground mulch available for your child's safety. Manufactured at our plant in Joliet, IL, our rubber mulch is made from 100% recycled tires. We proudly stand behind our rubber mulch products and guarantee their quality with our fast and friendly service.


Why is KinderMulch Rubber Mulch becoming the most popular choice for covering playgrounds? The answer is simple:

  • It does not need to be replaced every year because it is non-biodegradable.
  • It produces a significant cushion and bounce effect when a child falls on it. These effects make KinderMulch a much safer ground cover than wood mulch, sand, or pea gravel.
  • It does not splinter or attract termites.
  • It does not promote mold or mildew growth.
  • It drains water much more efficiently than other ground covers.
  • It is made with 100% recycled tires.

For landscaping, we suggest our RhinoMulch 7/8" rubber mulch, which has the appearance of traditional landscaping rock cover but will last for years longer. The various colors available for this product will portray a natural, polished look without the high prices of traditional ground covers. This product is specifically designed for landscaping purposes as it is less filtered (98% metal free) than our other playground-ready mulches. That being said, this product should be used only for landscaping and kept away from high-play areas. Our other landscaping rubber mulches include our Premium RhinoMulch 3/8", and Shredded RhinoMulch 3" which are 99.9% free of all trapped metal.



Our coloring process has been optimized to ensure that the color of your rubber mulch lasts for years. We combine UV protection, uniquely formulated binders, and specialized pigments to keep the colors of our mulch looking the same as the day it was purchased. All colorings are non-toxic, water-based, and come from an iron-oxide pigment with a 10 year limited color warranty. Our colorings also contain anti-microbial agents. In the event that we do not have a color to meet your needs, we are able to custom make colors.

Why Rubber Mulch?


Has replacing the wood mulch on your landscape each year become a burden? Mulching yearly is not only expensive but also time consuming. There is an alternative to using traditional wood mulch. Long-lasting, durable RhinoMulch is the answer to your landscaping needs. RhinoMulch is recycled rubber that comes in a variety of beautiful colors. Since RhinoMulch is only applied once to your landscape it will definitely save you both time and money.


Earth Friendly

RhinoMulch is an eco-friendly alternative for the millions of tires that are discarded each year in landfills. Often these landfills become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and dangerous diseases. Recycling these once useless tires into rubber mulch is a great benefit to the environment. RhinoMulch is made from 100% recycled tires and is non-biodegradable. By replacing the traditional wood mulch with RhinoMulch, you are not only choosing a quality product but you are also helping to keep our environment eco-friendly.


Variety of Rubber Mulch Colors and Grades

RhinoMulch offers a variety of rubber mulch colors and grades. Several gorgeous, natural –looking colors are available to help customize your landscape to your specific taste. Some of the colors to choose from are a milk chocolate Natural American, a deep dark Bark Brown, a traditional Rustic Redwood, and a natural looking Cypress. RhinoMulch will stay vibrant throughout the years and will not fade like wood mulch due to sunlight exposure. Not only are there several color choices, but also there are a variety of rubber mulch grades depending on your specific landscaping needs. Rubber RhinoMulch grades would include: a rock-like nugget called RhinoMulch 7/8”; a smaller stone-like nugget called our Premium RhinoMulch 3/8”, and Shredded RhinoMulch which resembles the natural wood.


Advantages of Rubber Mulch

RhinoMulch will help protect your home from unwanted insects, mildew, and fungus. Since termites enjoy feasting on wood, wood mulch often promotes termite infestation which can ultimately destroy your home. However, termites are not attracted to rubber RhinoMulch. Wood mulch also soaks up water, making it a target for mildew. Since RhinoMulch will not soak up water, it does not produce mildew instead it actually allows water to penetrate more quickly to the root of plants allowing the conservation of water. Wood mulch also has a tendency to breed “artillery” fungus which can often permanently stain cars and nearby houses. On the other hand, RhinoMulch does not promote the breeding of fungus. For all of your landscaping needs, the clear mulch of choice is the eco-friendly, non-biodegradable Rubber RhinoMulch.

Cost Factors

RhinoMulch is definitely the answer to the many problems with traditional wood mulch. Our ten year limited color warranty ensures that your rubber RhinoMulch color will last. The protection that RhinoMulch can give your home from termites, mildew, and fungus will ultimately save you time and money. RhinoMulch is the most cost-effective and time efficient solution for all your landscaping needs.
