Landscapers, Homeowners Preparing to Replenish Mulch This Spring Can Go Green, Save Some Green with Pinnacle Rubber Mulch

PITTSBURGH, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring weather typically ushers in a season of outdoor responsibilities for landscapers and homeowners -- from mowing the lawn and planting flowers to the annual ritual of replenishing the mulch in the landscaping.  The blistering summer sun can accelerate fading and decomposition of wood mulch.  Harsh winter weather can have a similar effect.  For years, the only way to beautify the ground cover around trees and shrubs was to add more wood mulch.

This spring, LTR Products, a subsidiary of Pittsburgh-based Liberty Tire Recycling, is offering an innovative and long-lasting solution to this challenge with Pinnacle Rubber Mulch, an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional wood mulch that remains bright and plush for years with minimal maintenance.

"Replacing wood mulch every year becomes time consuming and expensive," said Brad Pittam, General Manager of LTR Products.  "Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is an attractive, durable alternative to traditional wood mulch, and it also can save money over time.  When you compare the expense of an annual application of wood mulch with an up-front purchase of rubber mulch, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch actually costs up to 65 percent less over a nominal five-year period."

Homeowners and landscapers who choose rubber mulch are going green in another way.  Rubber mulch is made from recycled scrap tires that might have ended up in a landfill or a tire pile.  In this way, Pinnacle Rubber mulch is an eco-friendly alternative that reuses discarded tires and saves millions of trees from being transformed into wood mulch.  

"Unlike wood mulch, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is resistant to wind and water erosion, bug and rodent infestation, and fading caused by sunlight and decomposition.  It will not compress like wood mulch, providing a thick and luxurious base material for landscape beds," Pittam added. "Plus, rubber mulch is clean, it minimizes airborne dust and particles, and it will never splinter like wood mulch."

Available by the pound, ton, cubic foot and cubic yard, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch can be distributed anywhere in the U.S. from convenient coast-to-coast shipping points.  It is also available for purchase at a variety of retail stores across the nation.
