  Mulch Of Choice

Anybody used rubber mulch? My buddy's landscape supply sells it for...better sit down for this...$630-$850 for a 3-yard palletized poly-bag. It's made of recycled rubber tires and surface-dyed---just like chopped up pallets! The amazing thing though is that it looks and almost feels like (rubbery) wood. The cheaper stuff is chunks about the size of pine bark; the expensive stuff has pieces that look like shredded cedar bark. Comes in several colors including dark and light brown, and even blue, red and green. Commercial office buildings and condo complexes like it because they don't have renew it every year.

kubotachick: okay, now tell us how you REALLY feel---and don't hold back now! Seriously though, no they don't break down (that is their selling point) so you don't have to pay every season to redo them.

  Mulch Of Choice

kabotackick: If you think about it, at least around here, people use small stone/decorative rock in place of mulch. I get a lot of calls from homeowners who hate it after they put it down and want me to remove it because it is so hard to keep the weeds out and keep it looking nice. Some even use a type of stone that actually floats but looks like a smooth walnut shell--not good when the landscaping beds overflow with rain or during high winds! They tell me their neighbors get a little ticked to find the stuff all over their yards. Speaking of mulch blowers--Home Depot contracts someone to mulch their traffic islands---it looks like somebody chewed it all up and spit it out----hey! just like your idea of old newspapers!
