Stop Settling for Hard, Uneven Play Surfaces

Loose sand and small stones shift, scatter, and bog down strollers and wheelchairs. Thin or uneven layers can compromise fall protection—and every top-off becomes another messy, labor-heavy project. Rubber alternatives can run hot, cost more, and still leave you with edging and maintenance challenges. Kids deserve a surface that’s safer underfoot, drains well after rain, and holds up to daily use without constant rework. EWF playground mulch is purpose-built for that job.

Why More Sites Choose Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF)

Safer Play

EWF helps cushion falls under swings, slides, and climbers—reducing injury risk across the play area.

Budget-Smart

Compared to PIP rubber, crumb rubber, rubber tiles, and synthetic turf, EWF is typically the more cost-effective surfacing choice.

Ready Fast

Pneumatic blown-in installation gets you uniform depth and same-day play readiness in many cases.

What Exactly Is Playground Mulch (EWF)?

Engineered Wood Fiber is a specially processed wood product designed for playgrounds. It’s applied as a loose-fill system that absorbs impact and provides a firm, slip-resistant surface that wheelchairs can traverse. Superior offers both virgin EWF and recycled EWF options to fit your needs.
