This project removes the existing rubber mulch from the community playground, replaces it with cypress mulch, and repairs problem sections of the playground border. Rubber mulch soaks up a lot of heat in the Florida sun and can get uncomfortably hot for kids. It can also give off a rubber smell and tends to scatter outside the play area. Cypress mulch is a natural wood mulch that stays cooler, looks more like the rest of the community’s landscaping, and still cushions falls when kept at the proper depth. Fixing the damaged and failing border sections will keep the new mulch in place, remove trip hazards, and restore a clean, defined edge around the play area.
