- - Rubber Mulch - Pro's and Con's Needed (https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/landscape-talk-129/rubber-mulch-pros-cons-needed-107308/)

We have matting under ours and no water retention and our mulch does not float away ever. We sit out in our lanai right next to where we have rubber mulch right outside and there has never been a smell ever! Maybe it's the brand or type, I don't know but we have none of these problems. We've had it for going on 3 years now. Guess we're just lucky. Happy gardening everyone!

We put down a total of 40 bags of rubber mulch between yesterday and this morning on top of professional grade weed matting. Absolutely love the look! Definitely noticed a strong smell of tires as it was coming out of the bags but after it was out in the air, only noticed a faint smell that wasn't offensive to us. When it poured raining today...it REALLY rained hard, i was worried it would all float onto my sidewalk like my previous cypress mulch always did. Nope. Not even one piece was out of place. So happy with this stuff!

And whoever mentioned that Sams was cheapest is correct. Checked it out today before having some of their delicious pizza and its $7.47 per 1.25 cubic foot bag. That equates to $5.98 per cubic foot and is the winner for least expensive.

Obviously, everyone has their own opinions and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this stuff is just about PERFECT for our tastes and low-maintenance lifestyle.

Highly recommend.
