Certified Mulch, IPEMA Mulch, ADA Compliant Mulch, Engineered Mulch, etc.
Benefits of Mulch for Playgrounds:
Installing playground mulch in and around playground areas provides many visual and protective benefits. The most obvious benefit of having mulch for playgrounds is that it makes the area safer. This provides parents the security of knowing that their children will not be seriously injured if they fall. It also prevents the growth of weeds and other unwanted plants around the playground; helping to prevent the need for frequent maintenance to keep the playground looking nice year-round.
iMulchFL uses Certified Mulch, IPEMA Mulch, ADA Compliant Mulch and Engineered Mulch to ensure your playground meets any regulations set by the state. Our Florida mulch conforms to all these regulations, so you can rest assured that all children are safe and protected.
Best Types of Florida Mulch for Playgrounds:
iMulchFL recommends mulch made specifically for playgrounds, not mulch made for landscaping flower beds. The cypress playground chips are more durable, there’s no bark or sticks, plus the size and shape of the chips helps keep the product out of the children’s shoes. Our premium offering, cypress playground chips, provide a great cushion under swings, slides, playhouses and on walking or fitness trails.
Engineered Mulch – Wood Fiber
Wood Fiber Mulch is a soft, wheelchair-accessible covering for playgrounds. Wood Fiber Mulch is made up of the soft or blunt ends of chopped wood. It is usually half an inch long and meets the CPSC standards for playground surfacing.
Engineered Wood Fiber Mulch provides better control over the size of the mulch chips. It allows the wood fibers to join together, providing a secure, soft, springy surface. In some cases engineered mulch can also allow water to pass right through it; allowing the playground to be used soon after those frequent Florida rain showers.
Engineered Mulch – Playground Wood Chips
Engineered Playground Wood Chip Mulch is an engineered wood fiber made from 100 percent virgin wood. Since they do not contain any recycled material, they do not include any m etal or other unhealthy additives and are considered safe for playground use. Wood chips meet the CPSC safety standards for playgrounds.
Cypress Mulch – Playground Wood Chips
Cypress playground mulch chips are more durable, there’s no bark or sticks, plus the size and shape of the chips helps keep the product out of the children’s shoes. Cypress playground mulch chips provide a great cushion under swings, slides, playhouses and walking/fitness trails.
Engineered Mulch – Shredded Bark Mulch
Shredded bark mulch contains the shredded, softer pieces of tree bark. It provides a soft landing for falls, but may break down more quickly and need replacing at least once a year.
