Rubber Bark™ on New HGTV program!

Recently Rubber Bark™ was notified by execs at HGTV that our wonderful rubber mulch was desired for an episode of its new series HGTV'd. Below is the news release below with all the details.

Rubber Bark™ to be Featured on New HGTV Series

 Rubber Bark™, the northern California rubber mulch company, will be featured on one of HGTV’s new home makeover series called HGTV’d.

The episode will be shot in Texas and produced by High Noon Entertainment. It will also include a surprise celebrity host and designer.

The premise of the show involves surprising homeowners with creative makeovers for rooms and outdoor spaces. Rubber Bark™ will be featured in a children’s outdoor play area.

“We are excited to be a part of the new program,” said Rubber Bark™ CEO Jana Nairn. “HGTV is a great source for those looking for new ideas in landscaping and design.”

“[The designer] will be transforming a 'blank canvas' of a backyard into the most spectacular space ever,” said Tina Seller of High Noon Entertainment about Rubber Bark™ involvement in the program.

Rubber Bark™ is manufactured in Ballico, Calif. From over millions of the state’s waste tires.

Utah Business Magazine supports Rubber Bark™

Utah Business's website recently featured our news release about Rubber Bark™ partnering with wonderful concrete and landscape supply company Speed-E Crete, which has locations in Lehi and Springville, Utah. Here is a link to the webpage, check it out!

News spot on ABC about tire disposal event

Last weekend, in Fresno, residents were offered the chance to dispose of their used tires for free at a local high school during an event called "Waste Tire Amnesty Event." The ABC news article and video  about the event goes on to note that the tires will be given to a manufacturer to process into rubber mulch and mats.

Well, Rubber Bark™ is that manufacturer! We were very impressed by the turnout of the weekend's event and are looking forward to recycling those tires, giving them a worthwhile second life!

And as the news spot said, two more events are coming up this Saturday at Bullard High School and Calwa Park in Fresno, CA from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., so if you are in the area, and are in need of disposing a few old tires, come by and dispose away!

Rubber Bark™ featured in Lawn & Landscape

We are excited to report that Lawn & Landscape picked up our press release about the company partnering with Oregon distributor Lindsley Lawn Care! Here is the link to the article. Check it out!

Speed-E-Crete and Rubber Bark™ Team Up

Rubber Bark™ is now being offered through Utah's Speed-E-Crete in Lehi and Provo! Check out the news release below for more information.

In a move to increase visibility and awareness for both companies, Utah’s Speed-E-Crete, a full service concrete and landscape supply store and Merced County’s Rubber Bark™, a tire recycling company that manufactures rubber products, are announcing their partnership to start distribution of Rubber Bark, a mulch made of 100 percent Californian recycled tires.

        

Earl Johnson, brother of Speed-E-Crete’s owner Frank Johnson, came upon Rubber Bark when researching for a rubber mulch supplier.

“I like the low maintenance aspect of rubber mulch so I am not remulching every year,” said Johnson. “I also love the concept for playgrounds and play areas. It is soft and doesn’t blow away.”

“We are very excited to team up with Speed-E-Crete,” said CEO of Rubber Bark™ Jana Nairn. “It’s important to have partnerships with businesses such as Speed-E-Crete that have a great customer service record.”

Speed-E-Crete, which has a location in Lehi and Springville, Utah, understands the difficulty businesses and families are having in tough economic times. The business hopes to ship Rubber Bark to the four corners of the state at a nominal cost to the customer.
