Rubber Mulch is a synthetic material and has a prolonged life and requires almost zero maintenance
In general both materials will compress at least 15 percent over time due to use and weathering, and might need to be replenished to ensure the surfacing remains at the appropriate depth to adequately cushion falls. Generally speaking, 6-10 inches of loose fill material is recommended under and around playground equipment.
When choosing a playground surface for your playground, the right surfacing depends on several variables: initial purchasing cost, installation cost, ongoing maintenance cost, long-term durability, visual appearance and degree of safety.
