The pieces were much more expensive and tended to scatter due to mower action, the mats were much less expensive and by and large did the job.  We have a report that we can provide to those who are interested, contact Greg Ward at gaward at surrey.ca, 604 501 5170.

> What is Rubberific Mulch?
>  Rubberific Mulch™ is one of the hottest garden and landscaping products on the market. It is a long-  lasting mulch made from recycled rubber truck tires. This cost-effective, versatile rubber mulch is non-toxic and completely safe for play. Realistically textured and available in a variety of colors, Rubberific Rubber Mulch will change the way you mulch for years to come.
>  
>  Made from 100% recycled rubber truck tires, Rubberific Mulch's most attractive feature is its longevity. It surpasses conventional mulches, which need annual replacement, by lasting ten years without showing its age. Good for the environment and long-lasting to boot.
>  
>  
>  Why is Rubberific Mulch Better?
>  Rubberific Mulch is made from EPA-approved recycled rubber truck tires. These tires are shredded and colored to produce a cost-effective rubber mulch that benefits the environment as much as your yard and playground.
>  
>  Rubberific Mulch withstands the elements longer than conventional wood mulches, lasting at least 10 years without replacement. It provides a safe surface for children to play on, with one of the highest safety ratings of any ground covering available. Protecting plants by retaining ground moisture, resisting rot and not attracting insects – Rubberific Mulch does all this, while maintaining its rich color.
>  
>  
>  Who uses Rubberific Mulch?
>  Whether you are a home owner looking to mulch your garden or a business owner researching cost-effective landscaping options, everyone can find a use for Rubberific Mulch. It enhances golf courses, restaurants, parks, tourist attractions and homes throughout North America.

> Safety
> One of the most important benefits of Rubberific Mulch is the safety that it provides to children. Rubberific Mulch is completely free of steel belts and threads. The U.S. Product Safety Commission cites falls to surfaces under and around playground equipment as a contributing factor in more than 70% of the reported 200,000 incidents, while yet 80% of playground surfaces were to some degree inappropriate. Surfaces that should never be found around playground equipment include asphalt, dirt and grass.

> Tests determined how high a child could safely fall into a layer of covering six inches deep. Here's how Rubberific Mulch rates among other popular mulches:
> 
> Critical Heights (in feet) of Tested Materials of 6" Depth
>         -Rubberific Mulch  10 feet
>       -Wood Chips         7 feet
>       -Mulch                  6 feet
>       -Fine gravel          6 feet
>       -Medium gravel     5 feet
>       -Fine sand            5 feet
> For all materials other than Rubberific Mulch, these critical heights lessen over time as the material is compressed. However, Rubberific Mulch will not compress, providing years of safe play.
> 
> ADA Accessible
> Rubberific Mulch provides an ADA compliant material so that everyone can play on the playground.
> 
> Clean
> Rubberific enables the children to stay cleaner when jumping and falling on the surface because it will not create dust, decompose, rot or absorb water. Because the product is made from rubber the surface will not get dusty like wood chips.
> 
> Colorfast Colors
> Rubberific Mulch is available in a wide variety of colors that will last many years.  All of our products are completely non-toxic and are available to match your play system.
> 
> 100% Recycled
> Not only does Rubberific mulch provide all of these benefits it also is made from 100% recycled rubber which assists in disposal of tires.
> 
> Rubberific Mulch is a very cost effective alternative to other playground or landscaping surfaces because it eliminates the annual cost of replacing not to mention the advantage of safety for playground play surfaces.
