Ag Mats Keep the Children at Play and the Gophers Away

One of Rubber Bark's clients recently purchased our stall mats for a really great application. They used the mats underneath some artificial grass they were installing to keep the gophers from burrowing through the ground beneath the grass. 


Traditionally, people use crushed rock, which is more labor intensive to install and may be more expensive.  And in the end,  gophers can still come through the rock. 


Rubber Bark's mats, which are usually used for horse stalls, vet clinics, and warehouses (so this new technique is unique!) are gopher-proof and create a nice soft, flat surface under the artificial grass.

Are you interested in gopher-free landscapes? Contact Rubber Bark™ and learn more about our Ag mats and our other wonderful products.

Rubber Bark's New Sales Exec and more info on the World Ag Expo

Check out the news release below about Rubber Bark's new sales executive Carin Ryan, and about her upcoming adventures, including attending the World Ag Expo next week, where she will bring Rubber Bark™ to the willing masses! 

Rubber Bark™ Hires Sales Exec; Earns Spot at World Ag Expo

Rubber Bark™ is excited to announce its inclusion at the World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA on Feb. 14 through the 16th, with its new sales executive Carin Ryan, showcasing the award-winning Rubber Bark™ products at the event.

Ryan joins the growing company at an optimal time; Rubber Bark is releasing its new weed cloth, a porous landscape fabric, to complement its rubber mulch.

“We want to make Rubber Bark™ a household name like Kleenex or Scotch tape so that when someone says our name, our logo and products immediately come to mind,” said Ryan about the decision to join the Expo and Rubber Bark™.

The expo, which is in its 45^th year, will have over 1,600 exhibitors from across the country.

Ryan said her influences for joining the environmentally conscious company stem from her background in the construction industry and her dedication to California businesses.

“Rubber Bark™ is a progressive, green company who is already leading their industry and I was excited for the opportunity to help them grow,” she said.

“I love where Rubber Bark™ fits into corporate America.  We’re small but mighty.  We’re an industry leader. We’re growing. We’re family owned and operated.  All those things really matter to me personally and bode well for the future of this company. “

“We are very happy to have Carin on board and bring her expertise to this new position,” said CEO of Rubber Bark™ Jana Nairn.

“We can’t wait for her to shine at the World Ag Expo. It’s a wonderful time for Rubber Bark™.”

Rubber Bark™ will be at Booth #4100 in Pavilion D, the Beef & Livestock Building, for the World Ag Expo.  Patrons of the expo will have a chance to win three yards of Rubber Bark™ or 15 rubber mats by filling out a survey.

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.
