The Benefits of Using Mulch for Playgrounds

Installing mulch in and around play areas offers a lot of advantages. The most obvious benefit of having mulch for playgrounds is that it makes the area safer. This gives parents the security of knowing that their children will not be seriously injured if they fall. It also prevents the growth of unnecessary weeds and plants around the playground.

Any mulch for playgrounds should meet the regulations set by the state as far as toxicity and shock absorbency. Our wood chips conform to all these regulations, so you can rest assured that all children are safe and protected.

Installing Mulch for Playgrounds

Laying down mulch for playgrounds is a pretty straightforward task, but a lot of people are unsure about the steps involved. Here is a simple guide on how to mulch a playground area:

• Clean up the area around the playground thoroughly. This includes clearing and removing old mulch and making sure there are no stones, gravel, or trash that might injure a child.
• Install a perimeter of landscaping timbers. This perimeter will keep the mulch in place so it is not scattered by rain, wind, or running children. If your timber is higher an inch or two, you will need to dig a shallow trench to prevent people from tripping.
• Lay down landscape fabric around the playground, wherever the mulch will be installed. Landscape fabric inhibits weed and grass growth around the playground. It is also helpful in maintaining mulch levels and when replacing mulch in the future.
• Add the mulch to the area and use a rake to spread it into its place. It is important to follow any instructions that come with mulch for playgrounds such as how deep it should be. You may need to add more to busy areas such as underneath the swings and at the base of slides, where mulch is more likely to get displaced quickly.
