Common areas that look sharp — with less upkeep.
Lasting-color landscaping and certified playground footing across your properties. 12-year color, no annual re-mulching, bulk pricing, and scheduled deliveries. Your grounds stay consistent and your maintenance budget goes further.
Color that lasts, upkeep that drops.
Wood mulch fades and washes away, so you pay to redo every bed every year. Rubber mulch holds its color and stays put. One application keeps every common area looking finished for years.
12-year color
Holds its color for a guaranteed 12 years — no more annual re-mulching line item across dozens of beds.
Stays in the beds
Heavier than wood, so it doesn't wash onto walkways and parking after every storm — less cleanup for your crews.
Rot- and pest-free
Rubber can't rot or feed carpenter ants and termites the way damp wood bark can — so beds beside units and clubhouses stay pest-free.
Consistent look
Every property in the portfolio matches and holds its color for 12 years — so beds don't drift a different shade of faded by August.
Certified playground option
For common-area playgrounds, the same supplier makes IPEMA-certified, ASTM F1292 fall-height-tested surfacing.
Lower cost over time
More up front than bark. Over ten years, the skipped re-mulching and cleanup make it cost less.

What managers check before they switch.
How long does the color really last?
It carries a 12-year color guarantee. Wood mulch fades within one season. Rubber mulch holds its color for years, so every bed in your portfolio matches with no yearly redos.
How much maintenance is it?
Very little. No annual re-mulching, no constant raking. An occasional rinse and the rare top-off is all most beds need — which is the whole point for a maintenance budget.
Can you deliver to multiple properties?
Yes. We quote the whole portfolio at once and schedule free curbside deliveries to each site on windows that work for your crews.
Do you handle common-area playgrounds too?
Yes. The same supplier makes IPEMA-certified, ASTM F1292 fall-height-tested surfacing for common-area playgrounds. See the certifications →
Will it fade or stain walkways?
It's color-coated recycled rubber that keeps its color for years. Because each nugget is heavy, it stays in the beds instead of washing onto walks and parking.
