Tiger Mulch® is a durable solid rubber surface that uses coloured recycled rubber. The woodland colour of this product resembles natural wood chip material and is ideally suited in areas where a natural appearance is required. Unlike wood chip it is far more durable and requires less maintenance. It is made from recycled tyres and therefore is environmentally friendly.
This brilliant rubber edging makes a real difference to your wet-pour surfacing area. It looks fantastic and makes the transition from the wet-pour surfacing to the existing surface seamless without creating trip hazards. View more information here.
