We have landscaping curb around the whole house, we had a bunch of the mocha brown rubber mulch. Got is from Brownes in Fruitland Park. They are bigger pieces, not the playground mulch which is really small. Really like it alot, had for about 3 years, has not faded, the wind does not blow it away, and only the smaller pieces move around alot when alot of rain. If you have the curbing around the house you need gutters also to keep from making a moat around the house also. But we did go to Dirt Cheap and get some of the large Seminole Chips and mix it in with the mulch. helps alot. We are getting more of the Rock now. But you must use a good weed barrier under the rock. Helps to spray with a good weed killer also. We have some issues with the zoysia grass spreading under the curb, due to its nature. But not that bad. But the larger Seminole Chips helped out alot.
