Crumb Rubber Sales 

Crumb rubber is recycled rubber produced from automotive and truck scrap tires. During the recycling process, steel and tire cord (fluff) are removed, leaving tire rubber with a granular consistency.

Advantages of using Crumb and Rubber Mulch

Durable

Homeowners need to replace wood mulch regularly because it is a biodegradable product. The small wood chips absorb water when it rains, endure the sun’s heat, and suffer the freeze-thaw cycle in the bitter cold of winter. All these elements combine to break apart the wood until it eventually becomes indistinguishable from the underlying soil. Rubber mulch is not biodegradable. It is the end product of a waste tire recycling plant.

Low Maintenance

In addition to being non-biodegradable, rubber mulch is heavy. It weighs more than wood mulch. It will not wash down the sidewalk even after a heavy rainstorm, the way that wood mulch is prone to do. You never have to replace it or add to it, you don’t have to keep buying mulch for your yard year after year. This mulch type is a one-time purchase, which reduces the long-term cost to you for attractive ground cover.

Promotes Plant Growth

Rubber and water don’t mix. The mulch produced from recycled tires allows water to pass through straight to the soil below. All the water and nutrients that fall on it pass directly through fortifying the soil for plants and flowers. None of it gets absorbed by the mulch itself, as happens with wood mulch. Because recycled tire rubber mulch does not absorb water, rubber mulch inhibits the growth of unwanted weeds and fungus that can harm plants.

Environmentally Friendly

First and foremost, rubber mulch cuts down our dependence on wood for landscaping. While wood mulch suppliers strive to use sustainable methods to produce their products, harvesting trees is a necessary part of the process. Rubber mulch does not use any trees. Instead, rubber mulch is produced entirely by recycling a toxic waste product. By using a recycled product instead of a new product, you contribute to the waste tire solution.

Fewer Insects

Wood destroying insects like termites and carpenter ants are drawn to dead wood, making wood mulch attractive to them. There is no draw for these insects in planter beds full of rubber chips. Keeping these bugs away from planter beds around your home’s perimeter can help protect your home from insect damage. It also reduces the need to spray chemical insecticides around your yard to keep these pests at bay.
