Is spray mulch safe for my school or child care playground?

Yes! We use IPEMA-certified Play Cushion mulch that meets or exceeds safety standards for impact absorption, and our materials are non-toxic and environmentally safe.

How long does the spray mulch last on playground surfaces?

Spray mulch generally maintains its protective qualities for 9-12 months depending on usage and weather conditions. We offer evaluation and reapplication services to keep your playground safe year-round.

Can spray mulch be applied over existing mulch?

In most cases, yes. Our team will assess your playground surface during the estimate and recommend the best approach for safe, effective mulch coverage.

How soon can children use the playground after mulch application?

Typically, playgrounds can be safely used within 24 hours after spray mulch installation once the material has dried and bonded properly.

Do you offer mulch in different colors or types for playgrounds?

While safety and certification are our top priorities, we can advise on available mulch options that best suit your playground’s needs and aesthetics.

Why Choose Spray Mulch for Your Playground?

Playground surfaces demand mulch that not only looks great but also prioritizes safety and durability. Spray mulch is an ideal solution because it offers:

Fast Installation: Our cutting-edge spray application process covers playground areas quickly, minimizing downtime so children can get back to playing sooner.

Cost-Effective: Spray mulch requires less material and labor than traditional loose mulch, helping your budget stretch further without compromising quality.

Even Coverage: The sprayed mulch bonds firmly to the soil, creating a consistent, slip-resistant, and cushioned surface that stays in place—unlike loose mulch that can scatter or become displaced.

Safety Certified: Jet Mulch offers IPEMA-certified Play Cushion mulch approved by the state for use in all child care and school playgrounds, providing reliable impact absorption and reducing injury risk.

Environmentally Friendly Materials: We use natural, recycled wood mulch combined with eco-friendly adhesives, ensuring a safe, non-toxic surface for children and a responsible choice for the environment.

Before After

Advantages of Our Spray Mulch Installation Process

Our process is a major advantage for playground maintenance. Unlike bulk mulch dropped from trailers that can damage landscaping or create uneven coverage, Jet Mulch’s 60-yard truck uses a compressed air delivery system to spray mulch directly from the street curb with a reach of up to 260 feet. This method enables:

Minimal Soil Disruption: No heavy equipment or wheelbarrows crossing your playground surface means less soil compaction and damage.
Faster Project Completion: Quick setup and application reduce playground downtime.
Superior Finished Look: Precise and uniform mulch coverage that is safe and visually appealing.
