At Mulch Max, we specialize in playground mulch blowing, a fast, efficient, and mess-free way to install a fresh layer of playground surfacing. Our playground mulch meets all safety standards and will help cushion falls and absorb impact, reducing the risk of injuries for children playing on the equipment.


Playground mulch is a special, certified mulch. All playgrounds have to have IPEMA-certified play chips or engineered wood fibers (EWF). The Mulch Max LLC team can install IPEMA-certified play chips at schools, parks, and even residential properties in the local area. The EWFs we install are free of chemicals and resistant to insects, ensuring a safe environment for play and overall longevity of the chips themselves.

Brighten Your Playground with Safe Mulch Blowing All Year Round

Mulch often gets associated with spring preparation and summer maintenance, but what if we told you fall is a prime time to mulch too? It's true! Fall mulching offers a surprising array of benefits for your property, giving your area a head start for winter and setting your playground up for success in the spring.


Fall Mulching: A Boon for Busy Schedules


  • Beat the Rush: Spring and summer can be hectic for playground maintenance crews. Fall mulching allows you to avoid the seasonal rush and schedule service at your convenience.
  • Pleasant Conditions: Fall weather is often mild and dry, creating ideal working conditions for mulch installation. No more battling summer heat or unpredictable spring showers.


Fall Mulch Benefits the Playground Too


  • Winter Insulation: A fresh layer of mulch acts as an insulator, protecting the playground surface and sub-base from the harsh effects of winter freezing and thawing.
  • Moisture Retention: Fall rains can help settle the mulch and establish good moisture levels. This helps prevent the mulch from drying out and blowing away during winter winds.
  • Weed Suppression: A new layer of mulch smothers existing weeds and prevents new weed seeds from germinating in the spring. This reduces weed control efforts throughout the year.
  • Playground Safety: Most importantly, fall mulching ensures a safe play surface throughout the winter and spring. The impact-absorbing properties of mulch help cushion falls and minimize injuries.


Fall Mulching Tips


  • Timing is Key: Aim to mulch before the ground freezes. Ideally, the soil temperature should still be above 50°F (10°C) to allow for some initial decomposition.
  • Choose the Right Mulch:  Playground mulch should be certified to meet safety standards. At Mulch Max, we understand the importance of creating a safe and fun environment for children on playgrounds. Our playground mulch blowing service is designed to meet the specific needs of schools, daycare centers, and parks, ensuring a perfect foundation for playtime.
  • Install Properly: Apply a recommended depth of mulch (typically 6-8 inches) to ensure adequate fall protection.


By mulching your playground in the fall, you're not only prioritizing safety but also making smart use of the season. You'll benefit from better scheduling, create a more winter-resistant play space, and ensure a safe and fun environment for children year-round.
