600 Square Foot Playground with 6-Inch Depth (ASTM F1292-99) Play Safe Surfacing Rubber Playground Mulch cost $42.00 more, over a five year period, when compared to hardwood mulch. This does not take into account the costs for upkeep and maintenance of replacing the wood chips two times per year, each year for the 5-year period.
