by Rebecca Walker — December 4, 2009—Pittsburgh-based LTR Products, a subsidiary of Liberty Tire Recycling, the premier provider of tire recycling services in the United States, has launched Pinnacle Rubber Mulch, an innovative alternative to traditional wood mulch for landscaping and playground surfacing. Whereas wood mulch requires yearly applications because of its rapid rate of decomposition, recycled rubber mulch saves money by remaining bright and plush for years with minimal maintenance, says the company.
Unlike wood mulch, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is resistant to wind and water erosion, bug and rodent infestation, fading caused by sunlight, and decomposition. Rubber mulch will not compress like wood mulch, providing a thick and luxurious base material for landscape beds. As safety surfacing, a 6-inch layer of Pinnacle Rubber Mulch will cushion a child’s fall from as high as 12 feet. Available in various colors, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch will not rub off on children or pets. Plus, rubber mulch is clean, minimizes airborne dust and particles, and will never splinter like wood mulch.
In addition to the products sold by LTR Products, Liberty Tire Recycling is a leading provider of crumb rubber – a rubber particle manufactured from recycled tires and designed to enhance the performance of athletic surfaces. Distributed as infill amongst synthetic grass, natural grass and sand, crumb rubber adds cushioning and springiness to protect athletes and enhance their performance.
