Central Pennsylvania Logging Company Offers Certified Playground Mulch

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - April 30, 2022 - PRLog -- There are so many benefits to choosing the right, trusted, local mulch for your playground. Mulch provides parents and caregivers with the peace of mind knowing that their children will not be seriously injured if they fall while at play. Mulch also prevents the growth of weeds and unwanted plants in play areas and gives property managers peace of mind that their playgrounds can be easily maintained and have a well-maintained, manicured appearance all year long.

When purchasing mulch for your playground it's important to choose IPEMA certified playground mulch. The International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) provides a third-party certification to ensure product conformance and that it meets the highest of standards. A great playground requires fun equipment and safe surfacing for creativity to blossom in a safe environment.

Here are a few things to keep in mind for the proper installation and maintenance of your playground mulch:

1. A.M. Logging recommends using the services of a qualified engineer or landscape architect when installing your surfacing material.

2. A depth of 14"-15" of material will be needed to reach a compacted depth of 12". The 12" depth will need to be monitored regularly to insure the required 12" compacted depth that is required.

3. To ensure proper drainage a minimum grade of 1% - 1-1/2% of drop needs to be established.

4. Drainage stone approximately 2-3 inches should be installed along with drainage fabric.

5. If required, any containment systems should now be put into place and secured.

6. Twelve inches of wood fiber may now be brought in and installed.

7. Once installed, inspect and remove any foreign matter that has accumulated on the fiber (daily).

8. Rake level any spots where surfacing has been disturbed (weekly).

9. Dig down into the surfacing and measure the depth to ensure the necessary material is still

maintained (monthly).
