Landscaping Rubber Mulch: An Eco-Friendly Alternative for Beautiful Garden

Landscaping Rubber Mulch has recently emerged as an innovative way to decorate landscaping and offers great strength. Organic mulch is traditionally made using organic material like straw or wood bark which can rot with time.

Alternatively, rubber mulch is an effective and sustainable option. Rubber mulch has several uses, enabling it to enhance the visual appeal of the outdoors and provide safety and environmental sustainability. You can opt for the best quality rubber mulch from Detroit Rubber Supply.

What is Rubber Mulch?

Rubber mulch is made from latex clouds derived from the shredding of used tires. This process allows for variety, as different-colored rubber mulch can be produced without any negative consequences.

Longevity

Rubber mulch stands out for its durability and lasting nature, unlike organic mulches that break down over time and need to be replaced periodically.  It can resist any type of weather from excessive showers to scorching sun along with cold temperatures and still remain intact.

Protection and Absorbance

Rubber mulch is especially loved in children’s play areas, such as constructions, owing to its wonderful shock-absorbing features. In instances where kids experience a tumble, rubber mulch comes in handy by reducing the impact to just a soft landing almost making it impossible for them to be injured. Rubber mulch is free from any poisonous and toxic substances thus making it safe for children and pets.

Weed Suppression

Rubber mulch not only retains moisture but another advantage is that it minimizes weed development. Having mulch on the top layer of seed prevents weeds from taking root, thus eliminating the need for chemical herbicides.

Moisture Management and Thermal Control of Soil

Rubber mulch is known for its ability to help soil retain moisture, especially beneficial, for plants in areas those to droughts. It also plays a role in preventing moisture loss from the soil thus reducing the frequency of watering needed. Additionally, rubber mulch aids in insulating the soil by maintaining temperatures, in summer and warmth during the winter months.

Sustainable

Another advantage is that rubber mulch is sustainable as it is made from scraps of tires that are thrown away and would have joined landfills which take many years to decompose. Using scraps of tires and turning them into mulch helps this product reduce wastage and conserves space for landfills.

Visual Appeal

Rubber mulch comes in colors to give homeowners and landscapers options to choose the color, for their outdoor spaces, like gardens and play areas or pathways while adding a decorative touch to any location.

Pest and Fungal Infection Resistance

In contrast to organic mulching options which may invite insects, pests, and rodents, rubber mulch acts as a deterrent for such pests. Moreover, it helps inhibit the formation of fungus on the surface of the soil, promoting a healthier garden environment

Application of Rubber Mulch

Rubber mulch can serve purposes, such, as:

Landscaping: Rubber mulch is versatile and can enhance the aesthetics of a garden's flowerbed arrangements. It is best for garden borders and pathways as well.

Playground: Rubber mulch can efficiently absorb shocks and this is the reason for its suggestion in playground surfaces as it reduces the risk of injuries from falls.

Gardening: This serves to retain moisture or aid in the moderation of soil temperature making it useful for plants and trees.

Pathways: These are other places where rubber mulch can be used due to its strength and minimal maintenance requirements.

Conclusion

This type of mulch is effective in reducing the need for replants during landscaping and replacement of the playground making it economical. Many people who want wanting a weed suppress mulch with a long life also favor recycled rubber.  For individuals who are interested in improving the visual appeal of the garden, constructing, and considering rubber mulch is the best option.

8 Mistakes Everyone Makes Trimming Their Christmas Tree That Will Drive You Insane

SimonSkafar/iStock

Dragging out boxes of Christmas ornaments and untangling the lights shouldn’t make you sigh heavily. If it does, it’s time to reevaluate your tree trimming process. Remember, ’tis the season to be joyful! Um, right?

So to start off on the right foot, let’s give ye olde yuletide tradition of tree trimming a quick review and see where you can make some adjustments. Here are eight mistakes many people make trimming their tree that you should try to avoid—all the better to preserve your sanity this season!

1. Picking a tree that’s too large

Consider the size of your tree. Does it really have to be the same 7-footer every year?

“It all depends on what you can handle, but sometimes it’s just as nice to have a mini tree as it is to get a floor-to-ceiling one—there’s no need to stress when it comes to the size,” explains Karen Gray-Plaisted of Design Solutions KGP.

If you’re going to do a fake tree, this small, pre-lit version stands at a reasonable 4 feet ($33, Home Depot).

A mini, pre-lit tree is more manageable than a gigantic 8-footer.

2. Trying to decorate your tree all in one shot

Hauling the tree inside, wrestling with the stand, and then dealing with lights and ornaments are too much to accomplish in one sitting. Instead, go about the process in stages, even over the course of a few days.

“It’s best to bring in the tree and then let it be for a day or more so the boughs relax and open after being wrapped up,” says Gray-Plaisted.

Once the tree has had a chance to acclimate to your home, you might start off by checking the lights to determine if there are bulbs not working. You could also check to see that you have the right supplies to begin decorating, including enough wire hooks, fresh candy canes, and a trash bag for anything that broke while in storage over the summer.

3. Squeezing the tree into too tight a spot

The tree is the star, say the pros, so give it breathing room.

“Instead of tucking the tree in a small spot, be prepared to rearrange the furniture to make adequate space,” urges Rhianna Miller, a designer with RubberMulch.

The ideal place for it might be one where you can easily see it from other rooms or where it’s visible by the window for passers-by to view, she adds.

4. Not using enough lights

When it doubt, add more lights—and then go ahead and double that number, says Miller.

“The lighting rule is 100 lights per foot, and I like to multiply that,” reports Jamie Novak, author of “Keep This Toss That” and an organizing pro.

And wrapping them around the tree like it’s a barbershop pole is another no-no.

“For maximum impact, weave lights along the branches in and out from the trunk,” says Novak.

5. Hanging every single ornament, even if it’s broken or in bad shape

Keeping old, broken ornaments year after year is just plain sad.

“If they’re special, take a picture and then let them go, because they’re not going to look any better after another year in storage,” notes Novak.

And putting every single thing you own (or that your child made when she was 4) on the tree is also another common mistake.

“It’s perfectly fine to alternate your trimmings and do something a little different each year,” reminds Miller.

6. Cheaping out on the Christmas tree stand

Ever decorate your tree and get it perfect, only to have it topple? Blame your tree-climbing cat all you want, but it could also be that you chose too small and rickety a tree stand to keep your pine upright. Make sure to get a sturdy tree stand to do the job, like this one ($59, Walmart)

This pick secures a 10-foot tree and comes with a 10-year guarantee.

7. Losing track of decorations

This one’s big, so repeat after us: Label, label, label.

“Always put the number of boxes in all, so ‘box 1 of 5,'” says Novak. And storing decorations with labels for where you use them is another smart move.

“Create a box for the mantel, one for the entryway or front door, and one for your outdoor lights and decorations, and this way everything’s together and you don’t have to sort through each box just to decorate one area,” she explains. For breakables, try this cubby-filled holder ($25, Amazon).

Keep 112 Christmas baubles safely (and neatly) packed in this storage box.

8. Doing it alone

When it comes to decorations, delegate. If you make assignments, everyone will have a job and the bulk of the work won’t be left to one person. Get someone to take charge of the lights and have someone else work on tinsel.  A third person could string popcorn or cranberries, if that’s your thing.

Finally, let the whole family have a chance to hang ornaments. Stash the more delicate, breakable baubles, and dole out the rest to the kids so everyone’s got a task to do.

6 Concrete Patio Ideas to Boost the Appeal of That Drab Slab

KristianSeptimiusKrogh/iStock

These concrete patio ideas will help you transform what’s typically seen as a backyard eyesore. Because when many people hear the words “concrete patio,” they immediately picture a sad, cracked slab in an unloved backyard or outdoor space.

As it happens, there are plenty of ideas for putting a stylish and personal spin on dull, gray patio pavement, using color, pattern, and outdoor landscaping and accessories, such as a pergola.

Read on for patio design ideas and landscaping tips that will help you see your concrete patio in a whole new—dare we say stylish?—light.

1. Build a stamped concrete patio

“You can create beautiful concrete patio designs that resemble brick, flagstone, or cobblestone for much less than the real thing,” said Rhianna Miller, a trend forecaster and garden design expert at RubberMulch, based in Lakewood, NJ.

Stamped concrete is a cost-effective way to upgrade your outdoor space. Expect to spend at least $10 per square foot for a professionally installed stamped concrete patio. Building an elevated wood deck, on the other hand, can easily cost up three to four times as much. Also, concrete patios are more durable and require less maintenance than wood decks.

Over time, water, sun, and extreme temperatures will cause a wood patio to rot, warp, splinter, and fade.

“Sure, you can slow down the process with yearly staining or weather-sealing, but for some folks, that is too much work,” says John Mochelle, an architect in New York City.

2. Fake the look of stone

There are several different tools and ideas a DIY-savvy homeowner can try, to create a concrete patio that looks like real stone or brick.

“A supereasy way to get fast results is with a patterned rubber roller specifically made for concrete patio designs,” says Mochelle.

It’s shaped like a giant paint roller, and is used when the concrete is curing to create indentations that look like stone or brick. Home improvement stores stock concrete rollers in different stone, brick, and graphic patterns, but they’re not cheap. Prices range from $900 to $1,700 at Home Depot.

“If you plan on installing a couple of stamped walkways in addition to a decorative patio, a roller may be worth the investment to some homeowners,” Mochelle says.

Concrete stamping mats are a less expensive alternative. They are flexible pieces of rubber with embossed patterns. Prices per mat range from $270 to $450 at Home Depot. To use, place the stamp on wet concrete and apply pressure; lift, and repeat.

One of the cheapest ideas for faking the look of cobblestone is with a concrete mold, which costs around $20 ($17.27 at Home Depot). Instead of stamping out the pattern, you place the mold on the ground and then fill it with concrete. Afterward, you pack it down with a garden spade and lift off the mold, and repeat the process until the backyard project is complete.

3. Get creative with paint

Other clever and inexpensive ways are available for homeowners to spruce up their existing backyard concrete patios.

“A faux rug, created using paint and stencil, is an affordable idea for warming up old pavement on a patio,” Mochelle says.

For a long-lasting finish, he recommends porch paint rated for outdoor use. Before applying, you should power-wash the concrete. You can rent a power washer for about $60 per day, according to doityourself.com.

4. Install clay pavers for your patio

“You could also resurface your old backyard patio with new clay pavers,” says Marc Barnes from Pine Hall Brick Company, based in Winston-Salem, NC.

Clay pavers are bricks that have been hard-fired in a kiln for maximum strength. This allows them to stand up to the sun’s rays and foul weather.

They are less expensive than natural stone, with professional installation at prices ranging between $3 and $15 per square foot.

More smart landscaping ideas: Order extra patio pavers to make a matching fire pit and for the surround near a pergola.

5. Stain or seal the concrete

Applying a fresh stain or a sealer over an existing backyard patio is the most cost-effective idea for updating concrete.

“Expect to pay around $2 per square foot,” said J.B. Sassano, president of Mr. Handyman, based in Ann Arbor, MI.

6. Curate an outdoor living room for entertaining

Now more than ever, homeowners are fully focused on creating indoor-outdoor rooms for entertaining. Sassano recommends increasing the seating with lounge chairs (check out Restoration Hardware) to make the patio a comfortable gathering place.

A weather-resistant outdoor rug will help establish the dining area. Enhance the landscaping with homemade flower boxes or a container garden, string lights, a water feature, or a pergola, and then heat things up in the backyard with a portable fire pit.
