Willig Tire Recycling makes all-black rubber mulch from high-quality truck tires. It’s a bulk product for playgrounds and landscape beds, and we sell it in bulk bags or bulk loads.
This post covers what the mulch is, how it differs from our other rubber products, and what we need to quote a load.
What our black rubber mulch is
Our rubber mulch is made from recycled semi-truck tires. The material is all black. People use it in landscape beds, gardens, walkways, and playgrounds, for both commercial and residential jobs.
It doesn’t break down the way wood mulch does. Our black rubber mulch is guaranteed for 20 years. It also helps with weed suppression and moisture in the bed, so it isn’t something you replace every season.
The same product is used in landscape work and on playgrounds. For a landscape bed, people usually tell us the length, width, and depth they want to cover. For a playground, the depth often comes from the equipment and the written surfacing spec. If you have that spec, send it along and we can tell you whether mulch is the product it names, or whether the job is actually calling for 1/4 inch recycled rubber or a crumb size.
This is a different product from our crumb rubber and from our 1/4 inch recycled rubber. Some playground specs name 1/4 inch rubber, or even a mesh grade, instead of mulch. Our playground surfaces page and the post Crumb Rubber Mesh Sizes Explained have more on those sizes.
Figure out how much you need
If you know the area and the depth you want, our Rubber Mulch Calculator will give you a volume in cubic feet. That’s a handy starting point for a quote. Enter the length, width, and depth, then send us the result or the dimensions themselves. If you already know the quantity, you can skip the calculator and just tell us the amount.
When you request a quote, it helps to include:
- That you’re asking for black rubber mulch, not a crumb size
- How much you need, or the length, width, and depth if you used the calculator
- Whether you want bulk bags or a bulk load
- The delivery location
- A name and phone number or email
You don’t need a perfect number. A solid estimate is enough, and we can help tighten it up. If the order is for a playground, include the spec if you have one, so we quote the right product.

If the job is actually a playground surface with a specified size, or a turf, molding, or asphalt job, look at crumb rubber instead. The sizes we make are 10/20 mesh, 20 minus, 20/30 mesh, 30 minus, and 1/4 inch, plus custom sizes. Ballistic rubber is a separate product: 3/4 inch chunks.
