We work with Home Owners Associations (HOA) to properly spec and supply rubber mulch that will last for years to come. We understand the HOA board process, the different stakeholders involved, community member demands, insurance demands, and budgetary constraints. We help your management company, landscapers or other contractors, board members and other stakeholders throughout the decision making and procurement process.
The two most popular rubber mulch applications for HOA communities are playground and landscaping. Both require careful consideration as rubber mulch is an investment over wood mulch. Often times it is necessary to show the ROI and return timeline when compared to wood mulch in order to obtain board buy-in and approval. Our clear pricing and guidance can help you through this process.
HOA LANDSCAPING
Landscaping all or portions of an HOA community with rubber mulch is a great option because it provides a great return on investment allowing communities to allocate their budgets to other items. It also looks great, reduces maintenance, and can help to uphold property values. Rubber mulch is perfect for common area landscaping whether front and center or in the backdrop. We have seen many communities take a phased approach to get comfortable with rubber mulch by using it less conspicuous zones. However, we typically see a quick uptake and full implementation in to zones that are front and center. Another particularly powerful usage for rubber mulch is when the HOA community has perimeter walls and landscaping inside and/or outside the edge of the wall. These are perfect areas for rubber mulch in particular if a community is looking for a hybrid wood and rubber mulch landscaping strategy.
HOA PLAYGROUND
Rubber mulch is the premier choice for HOA community playgrounds. 2 reasons: it is one of if not the safest surfacing and it looks great, which helps with property value. When compared to turf, rubber tile, grass, sand, wood mulch and other surfaces, rubber mulch has a higher fall height rating which means less playground injury, less liability, and less worry. It is also a durable maintenance free surface that when properly installed can last for years and still look and perform like new. Other surfaces will wear down quickly, look matted and tired, and not handle moisture as well, among other things. Rubber mulch has a tailored aesthetic the community will appreciate and kids of all ages simply love playing on it. It is easy to walk and run on and is also an accessible surface for wheelchairs.
