What Rubber Bark™ Has Been Up To

Like we said in our previous post, we have been very busy bringing the best rubber mulch on the west coast to many people and projects. 

Along with our new website, we are in the midst filming an HGTV special that will be airing in March or April about Rubber Bark™! 

The Caltrans job in San Diego. 

We have also been supplying Gold County Fair with our helpful mats for its barns. Lassen County Fair will have some mats of their own by the end of the month as well.

And let's not forget the Caltrans job in San Diego. About 500,000 lbs of Rubber Bark™ is being used. 

These are all ongoing projects and we will be updating the buzz with exciting new developments on each.

To say the least, we have had a very good winter. When The Bellagio in Las Vegas buys Rubber Bark™ (it has for the last three years!) for its planter boxes inside the resort, we know we are going to more than make it through the season.  The Bellagio previously used sand, then wood chips, but they kept getting little flies/nats hatching in the planter boxes. However, since they switched to Rubber Bark™ the boxes have been critter free. 

Rubber Bark™ has also made it into several school districts in the past few months. Le Grande Union Elementary School, Planada School District, and Weaverville Union are now proud owners of some great ground cover.  

And lastly, Rubber Bark™ has supplied numerous cities for public projects, including  the Westside Recreation Center in Taft, the Yolo County Office of Education, Marysville, Dixon and Turlock.

As seen on HGTV...

It also includes pricing, for the exact amount that was used in the episode, as well as other products that were used. Check it out! 

"HGTV'd" Featuring Rubber Bark™ on October 1

Woohoo, it is almost here! The premiere of Rubber Bark's "HGTV'd" episode on the HGTV channel will play at 8pm Pacific time on Saturday, October 1! Check out the press release below for more info about the episode and Rubber Bark's involvement. 

HGTV Program Featuring Rubber Bark™ Premieres Oct. 1

Rubber Bark™ proudly announces the premiere of HGTV’s hit show “HGTV’d” featuring its signature product on the first of October at 8pm.

Working with High Noon Entertainment, the production company that creates “HGTV’d,” Rubber Bark™ was chosen to help a family renovate their backyard into a usable, child-oriented space.

“We were happy to help out the program, and are looking forward to seeing the finished backyard displaying our product with the rest of the America in October,” said CEO of Rubber Bark™ Jana Nairn.

Tina Seiler of High Noon Entertainment sought out Rubber Bark™ for the program and expressed gratitude toward Rubber Bark™ after the shooting of the episode for “providing ‘HGTV'd’ with [the] fantastic rubber mulch for our Clegg backyard episode.”

“The yard now looks amazing, and the homeowners are ecstatic!” Seiler noted.

According to the “HGTV’d” website, the premise of the episode includes renovating the large backyard into something the whole family could use. 

“Landscape designer Ahmed Hassan take on the daunting task of overhauling the Clegg family's big and barren backyard in the middle of Texas,” the website details.

Rubber Bark™ has also worked with High Noon Entertainment on the HGTV show “Carter Can.”

“It’s important to Rubber Bark™ to be involved in different media endeavors,” said Nairn. “We like to be in the forefront of the industry, and awareness of our product is the first step.”

"HGTV'd" premiered June 6 on HGTV and airs every Monday at 9pm/8c.
