The Real Playground Danger? The Ground Beneath!

At Beyond Backyards, we know that most playground injuries happen from hard falls—not faulty equipment. While natural grass may sound great, it often turns into a high-maintenance, patchy mess (especially with little feet running wild). Artificial turf is cleaner, but the cost? Not so fun.

That’s why we love rubber mulch—a springy, soft, and durable ground cover that cushions every jump, tumble, and landing. It’s low-maintenance, won’t rot or mold, and never compacts—so it holds up for years without needing to be replaced. Plus, it works as a built-in weed barrier! Browse our rubber mulch options and see how it stacks up against grass and turf. Your backyard (and your feet) will thank you!

Other ground covers can be messy, high-maintenance, or even dangerous—think splinters, mud, rot, or pea gravel in all the wrong places.

Rubber mulch from Beyond Backyards is soft, springy, and made for safe landings. It won’t rot, mold, or compact, and it doubles as a weed barrier.

Choose from a variety of colors and materials, plus add rubber borders and swing pads to keep your play area protected and looking great!
