Cost Comparison- Rubber Bark™ v. Other in-store brands

We at Rubber Bark™ want to offer our customers the lowest price on rubber mulch, so we often compare prices with other brands that are in stores, especially big box stores, and see how Rubber Bark™ fares. Again and again, we are surprised at the high prices for such small bags.

-At Home Depot, Vigoro brand rubber mulch bags are $8.97 for .8 cubic ft.
-At Lowe's Rubberific Brown Mulch bags are $10.96 for .8 cubic ft. and RePlay Brown Mulch bags are $8.76 for .8 cubic ft.
-At Ace Hardware Nuscape® Earthtone Rubber Nuggets bags are $10.99 for .8 cubic ft. and Rubberific Rubber mulch bags are $12.49 for 10 sq. ft. at 1" depth of mulch


Generally, these bags weigh around 16 to 20 lbs. So, from anywhere between $8-$12.50 a bag that comes to about 50 to 78 cents per pound, while Rubber Bark™ sells its rubber mulch in a variety of colors at $15 for a 40 lb. bag. That comes to about 38 cents per pound. 


If you need 3,000 lbs. of mulch for a large project, getting some at the stores that are quoted above will cost about $1,875. If you buy Rubber Bark™, it will cost $1,125. Buying directly from Rubber Bark™ can save customers $750! (We also have 2,100 lb. super sacks for large projects!) 


But saving money isn't the only thing worth saving. Rubber Bark™ also ships DIRECTLY to your home, so you don't have to haul 20 lb. bags to and from the car!
