There are several different companies out there making rubber mulch. Just as any other mulch, it is sold according to varying grades. Be prepared to pay upwards of $ 250-300.00 per yard for it.

go to www.stopmulching.com and there is a link for dealers listed by state.
the retail is 139/yd i believe and i get it for wholesale (which is up to where u get yours) for 109/yd i charge 60/yd for install cause it covers 170sqft per yd instead of 100/1. hope this helps.

also if you are putting this down where there is existing wood mulch i would remove the old first mainly cause it looks better and it helps eliminate bugs and ants in the beds. so that would be another charge initially but good for about 6-10 years.

one of my customers put that crap in there beds about two yrs ago its sinking and dirt is showing on top of it. it scatters into the yard when it rains or the bed gets edged and doesnt help organically, I would never suggest it unless its for a playground or something.
