Video of Rubber Bark™ on Curiosity Quest Goes Green

Did you ever get a chance to watch Rubber Bark™ on the great PBS show Curiosity Quest Goes Green? Last year, the cameras took a trip to the Rubber Bark™ facility in Ballico and had a great time filming the Rubber Bark™ creation process while learning about Rubber Bark's environmental contributions by keeping millions of waste tires out of landfills. Here is a clip of the episode, with more to come in the next few days.

Rubber Bark's new product in the Merced Sun-Star

Rubber Bark™ recently launched a landscape fabric to its line of outdoor products, and the Merced Sun-Star, a central California newspaper, picked up its news release on the topic, including quotes from Rob and Jana Nairn, CFO and CEO, respectively. Check it out on the Sun-Star's website. 

Here is one of the more witty quotes from the release that the Sun-Star included:

“It’s the perfect complementary product with Rubber Bark,” CFO of Rubber Bark Rob Nairn said in the release. “Rubber Bark™ is to weed cloth like peanut butter is to jelly."


More information on Rubber Bark's weed cloth is available on its website, within a couple weeks or check out the full release here.  To buy directly from Rubber Bark™ call 209-634-8849.

New Photos of Happy Feet 2 Promotional Display Featuring Rubber Bark™

Last month set designers put up a promotional display for the movie Happy Feet 2 in the Grove mall in L.A. and we have some photos to share!

 We are very happy with the results of the display, as the designers used or signature blue Rubber Bark™ to represent water surrounding ice floes and bergs with penguins dancing on them. Here is a link to our Flickr stream if you want to see them and more of Rubber Bark's contributions, events and displays.

Rubber Bark™ Introduces New Landscape Fabric, Gardeners Rejoice!

Yes, we are very excited to announce that a new product, a durable, sturdy landscape fabric with Rubber Bark™'s quality guarantee will be added to our wonderful list of outdoor products for the new year. Rubber Bark's landscape fabric complements our signature Rubber Bark™ mulch in numerous ways, including decreasing weeds and trapping moisture for soil and perennials while keeping out toxins. So, get your green thumbs ready, and make sure to get some weed cloth when you are ordering your supply of Rubber Bark™ from our website. Check out the news release below: 

Rubber Bark™ Streamlines Landscape Maintenance with New Outdoor Fabric

            Rubber Bark™, the leading west coast rubber mulch manufacturer, launched a protective weed cloth this week to its line of eco-conscious and budget conscious landscape products with the intent to streamline the process for customers to get both Rubber Bark’s signature mulch and the landscape fabric under one company.

Rubber Bark™ decided to include a weed cloth to its repertoire because of its importance in maintaining a beautiful landscape and its complementary features with Rubber Bark™ for many projects including gardens, playgrounds, edging, and yards.

            The weed cloth, which will come with the quality and guarantee of a Rubber Bark™ labeled product, acts a penetration barrier for weeds, and protects perennials surrounded by Rubber Bark™ from weed invasion.  Known as “geotextiles,” weed cloth is typically permeable fabric that has the ability to separate, filter, reinforce and protect drain systems. Rubber Bark™ will be carrying fabric made of Polypropylene in four different sizes.

Using Rubber Bark™ ensures the additional benefit of lengthening the life of perennials because it protects it from unnecessary sunlight yet allows for moisture and nutrients to pass through its pores and it provides an escape for trapped carbon dioxide, a toxic build up that can lead to sterile soil.  

             “It’s the perfect complementary product with Rubber Bark™,” said CFO of Rubber Bark™ Rob Nairn.  

“Rubber Bark™ is to weed cloth like peanut butter is to jelly.”

  Obtaining Rubber Bark™ mulch and weed cloth at the same location also allows for customer cost efficiency, as deliveries can be made in one trip and all the products needed for a weed-free project can be found in one place.

“Rubber Bark™ wanted to make it easier for customers to get both great products in one simple swoop,” said CEO of Rubber Bark™ Jana Nairn. 

“We are very excited to bring this new Rubber Bark™ product to our clients. It gives that extra protection some landscapes may need in weed prone areas.”

            

In Need of a Few Good Yelpers

Rubber Bark™ is currently trying to up its social media exposure, and we need all the friendly folks' help on the buzz who love to Yelp. If you are not familiar with Yelp, it is a website devoted to user reviews of pretty much anything under the sun. And Rubber Bark™ has its own profile too! Although we need our great customers to let the internet masses know how great Rubber Bark™ is.

So, if you, or someone you know has used Rubber Bark™ for any project, garden, yard, playground, what have you, write a quick review on Yelp and tell the world what you think about it. We'd really appreciate it, and your review will forever live in the infinite space of the world wide web.

Thanks.
