NATURALLY SHOCK ABSORBENT

From the moment you walk onto Soft Landing Rubber Mulch ( SLRM ), you will instantly feel the bounce and cushion that SLRM provides. SLRM has minimal compaction, so it keeps its soft composition and texture for years. SLRM meets all American Standards Testing Materials requirements. At equal depths, SLRM gives more cushion and support than any other substrate product available. Six inches of SLRM results in a critical fall height of 11 feet. At the same 6" depth, wood mulch has a critical fall height of 7' and pea gravel has a critical fall height of 5'. Unlike pea gravel (which will freeze into a hard surface at 32° F), SLRM will allow your children to use their play system in the winter. Even though residential users are not required to use critical fall heights when determining how much of a substrate to buy, you can easily see how even 3" of SLRM will provide a safer surface than other products at the same depth.

CLEANER THAN OTHER SUBSTRATE CHOICES

SLRM does not mildew, rot or mold like wood products do. When it rains, any dust that has formed on SLRM will run off the rubber.   A great attribute of SLRM is that it drains and dries so quickly, children normally can play 15-30 minutes after it has rained. No more waiting hours or until the next day to use your play system. SLRM will not attract animals or insects like wood mulch.

SAFER THAN OTHER SUBSTRATE CHOICES

SLRM is non-toxic and harmless to the environment. SLRM will not cause slivers, cuts or bruises like wood or gravel substrate products can. Parents often don't realize children will commonly throw mulch when they play. compared to wood mulch or gravel products, SLRM is less likely to cause any type of injury it thrown. As with wood mulch or pea gravel, to prevent any risk of choking, Let's Play recommends that parents prevent their children form swallowing SLRM.

APPEARANCE

You will be amazed how realistic SLRM looks. The unique manufacturing process used to make SLRM gives it the look of a natural wood mulch product, without all the negative characteristics of wood mulch. Many professional landscapers actually buy SLRM instead of wood mulch. Using SLRM to finish your play system will not only make your play area safer, but will give it a clean, professional look.

EASE OF USE

SLRM is extremely easy to transport and spread. Since SLRM is sold in bags, you don't need a special truck to bring it home like bulk mulch products. To help prevent weeds from growing through the mulch, we recommend that a landscape fabric be used under SLRM. Spreading the product doesn't require any special tools and can be done by one person. SLRM is so easy to bring home and spread, this is just another reason it's the best choice for your play system and family.

COST EFFECTIVE

Though SLRM may seem more expensive than other substrate choices, it will not compact, decompose or pulverize, so a one time application will last for years. Wood mulch products decompose yearly, so they need to be replenished 33% to 50% annually. When you compare the cost, labor and mess of buying mulch yearly, versus buying SLRM once, you'll find SLRM is very economical.
