Rubber Mulch Edmonton | Black Red Brown Recycled Mulch

Rubber Mulch is what you buy when you are done replacing organic mulch every year. Manufactured from 100% recycled rubber tires that would otherwise end up in landfill, this ground cover does not decompose, rot, or wash away. You eliminate the chore of purchasing, hauling, and spreading fresh material season after season. The colour is backed by a manufacturer’s 10-year fade guarantee — a promise no wood or bark mulch can match.

We stock this permanent cover in three colours: Black, Red, and Brown. Black delivers a clean, modern border that frames light-colored stone and bright pathways. Red adds a warm tone that complements brick masonry and terracotta accents. Brown gives you the appearance of natural wood chips without the fading or maintenance.

Beyond its long lifespan, this material outperforms organic alternatives on a functional level. Instead of absorbing water like wood does, rubber allows rain and liquid fertilizers to pass straight through into the soil below, reducing surface evaporation during hot Edmonton summer stretches. The shredded rubber pieces are heavier than wood strands and naturally interlock when spread, so this ground cover stays in place during heavy rain and high Alberta winds rather than drifting onto grass or washing down driveways.

An important note on handling and delivery: one cubic yard covers roughly 250 to 350 square feet at 1 to 1.5 inches deep. Because it is dense, a yard weighs between 500 and 600 lbs — roughly double the weight of natural wood. We coordinate flatbed deliveries across Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and Spruce Grove. If you prefer to manage the transport yourself, swing by our West Edmonton yard with a capable truck or trailer to inspect the current stock and load up directly.

Colour and size may vary slightly between batches. We recommend coming by our West Edmonton yard to see the current stock in person before ordering if the exact shade matters for your project.
