We used it at our villa and had no problems with it. It was lighter weight than stone, so we could spread it ourselves, and as you say, it doesn't need to be replenished as does the bark mulch. Stone, particularly the darker colors, gets quite hot in the summer, and can be tougher on the landscaping. We placed the rubber mulch 3-4 inches deep, I believe, which was recommended. The best price we found was Fairfield farms. I think you can buy it directly from them, or you can hire them to place it for you. Worth a call to talk with them if you have questions.
