What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise rubber mulch for its exceptional durability and vibrant color that lasts for years without fading. Most highlight that it doesn't decompose, blow away, or wash out like wood mulch, even after heavy rain or wind. Many appreciate its superior weed suppression and resistance to termites and pests. Reviewers note it's easy to spread with consistent nugget size and lightweight bags. A few mention an initial rubber odor that quickly fades, and some note the higher upfront cost, but most agree it's worthwhile for long-term value and performance.
