GroundSmart® 12+ Year Rubber Mulch Nuggets are the perfect ground cover for both landscaping and playground applications. Easy to install and long-lasting! Our product’s color lasts 12+ years which means no annual re-mulching every year—apply it once and save up to 80% compared to yearly wood mulch replacement. Get long lasting landscape mulch creating beautiful gardens, year after year. Compared to hardwood mulch, GroundSmart® will outlast your cedar wood mulch or pine bark mulch by more than a decade! Additionally, rubber mulch is also the safest and softest ground cover for playgrounds. IPEMA certified for critical fall height protection (ASTM F1292-13) means our rubber mulch for playground is safer than outdoor wood mulch and soil. Made from 100% recycled rubber, our yard mulch does not attract carpenter ants or termites, making it a great garden mulch for plants, as it’s also mulch with weed control. Get over a decade’s worth of savings when you switch to GroundSmart® Rubber Nugget Mulch. Provided shipping dates are estimates. Please allow 1-3 additional business days for any disruptions.

Color not as advertised

I purchased the Cypress color and unfortunately the wrong color was delivered, or it was just different than advertised. The color is much more of a dark grey than a light brown. I contacted Lowes on Sunday 8/9 to resolve this and was told I would hear back within 48 hours. It has now been over 4 business days and not a word after checking back in for updates multiple times.

one & done

Would Recommend

the rubber mulch is well worth the price difference compared to wood mulch. The rubber holds it's color, does't break down as people/animals walk on it & saves the time & effort of having to constantly reapply

Cypress color not even close to website picture

I ordered the Cypress color which looks gold/tan in the pictures on the Lowes website but the Cypress color that I received was not even close! Very Disappointed! The color I received is a MUCH DARKER UGLY BROWN color. Again, very disappointed. If I wanted a dark brown color, I would have ordered the Brown color !
