Dotti: We have had rubber mulch in the past but do not have it now. I would not recommend it. It is expensive although our first thought was that it would go a long way; it doesn't.

It adds nothing to the soil as it is not natural and doesn't break down. Besides fertilization, our combination of sand and clay benefits from mulch that breaks down over time, which is helpful to what we call "soil."

Also, during a heavy rainfall, it washes away because it is so light and it becomes a mess. Don't even think about trying to rake it back to its original placement; the tiny pieces are all over the place and the little pieces here and there end up smothering the grass. Yes, it can wash away even when you have a border.

Don't use it!
