Mulch

Mulch for play areas, garden beds, pathways, and tree wells across Southern Ontario. We deliver and top up rubber mulch, engineered wood fibre, and play sand: raked level, compacted, and clean at the edges.

How we deliver and top up mulch

Materials delivered

We deliver and place rubber mulch, engineered wood fibre (EWF), or play sand, then rake it level and compact it. Rubber mulch comes in multiple colours.

Depth restored

Loose fill compacts and migrates over time. We restore depth to meet fall-height targets and reduce the risk of bare spots under high-use equipment.

Clean site edges

We check borders, weed fabric, drainage, and access paths. Every visit ends with a clean perimeter and material kept where it belongs.

Around your schedule

We schedule around program hours. We can also sift, remove debris, and send clear photos after each visit.

Engineered Wood Fibre

Natural wood,
made for play areas.

Engineered wood fibre (EWF) is clean, shredded wood made for playgrounds, with no bark, leaves or added chemicals. It knits together into a springy layer that cushions falls and is firm enough to walk on. It costs less up front than rubber and suits play areas that want a natural look.

What It IsClean, shredded wood with no bark or additives (ASTM F2075)
Fall ProtectionCSA Z614 / ASTM F1292, at the depth your fall heights need
Typical Depth200–300mm compacted (use-zone dependent)
AccessibilityCan give a firm, accessible route when installed and kept compacted (ASTM F1951)
UpkeepRaking and top-ups as it settles, spreads and breaks down
Lifespan3–5 years before full replacement
Good ForDaycares, schools and parks wanting a natural surface at a lower starting cost

A mulch plan
for every space

Daycares & schools

Sand pit top-ups, EWF replenishment under climbers, and full play-area resets. We schedule around your program hours and send photo reports.

Municipal parks

Park fall-zone refills with documented depths for procurement and inspection. We service multiple sites on a single contract.

Landscaping & commercial

Rubber mulch for garden beds, pathways, and tree wells. It doesn't rot, draw insects, or need replacing every year, and it stays cleaner than wood chip.
