Wood Mulch for Playgrounds

EWF stands for Engineered Wood Fiber. Engineered wood fiber is specially processed wood mulch that has undergone specific manufacturing and screening procedures to ensure it is safe and appropriate for playground use. This includes removing contaminants and foreign objects and producing uniform size and shape for proper compaction and accessibility.

Not necessarily. The terms playground wood chips, nuggets, and wood mulch are often used interchangeably, but they can vary in size and processing. For playground use, what matters most is that the product is certified and manufactured to meet safety standards.

We can deliver up to 100 cubic yards per truck, and there is no limit to the number of truckloads we can coordinate for larger projects.

For most playground applications, engineered wood fiber should be installed at a minimum depth of 12 inches to meet common fall height requirements. Final depth may vary depending on equipment specifications and local safety guidelines.

If blower truck service is available in your area, it is typically the fastest and most efficient installation method. Otherwise, installation can be completed using wheelbarrows or equipment such as a tractor or skid steer with a bucket.
