Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

When we built our two large above-ground flower boxes we didn't plan on needing to mow in between them. It was always a struggle keeping the area neat, but now with the rubber walkway we don't need to worry about that anymore.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I like this product since it helps cut down on weeds and stray grass around my raised bed garden area. I wish there were more product in the package since I really could have used more (poor spatial analysis on my part). I wanted something that was more or less solid since the lawn comes right up to the edge. I see more of this product in the future.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have used the garden edging and found that the grass grows up through it unless I have some barier there.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Needed something at the bottom of our deck steps without having to put mulch. Works great

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

My wife and friends comment that it adds a clean, professional look to the garden area. Easier to use this than to mow & trim between raised beds.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

The product really is useful to me. However, I do think that it's overpriced - only for that reason I would not buy again

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Keeps trimming to a minimum.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I ordered the earlier version of this mat which was backed by black mesh and the weeds grew up through it. Now it is backed by black plastic but to be safe I laid a piece of black plastic down first and then laid the mats on top. Now they work perfectly. Another suggestion would be to grade the surface before putting them down, they look much neater and very professional.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used this to line a garden path between raised
beds. After a few seasons outside it has become
fragile enough to tear easily, even though it isn't walked on very often, and appears to
be slowly falling to pieces along the edges. On the plus side, it IS still keeping the weeds on the path at bay.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have 9 raised beds in a fenced enclosure. It is too hard to get a mower in to mow between the beds.The rubber walkways are the answer. I put them between the beds and they really work to keep weeds and grass down. As an added benefit, they make the garden look very neat and clean. Thought you can cut them to size, I overlapped them if they were too big so I could move them if necessary.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

It does not keep every weed from coming up through it.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have 5 dogs who tear around the yard on their designated paths. After trying hardwood and cedar mulch (it stays put better) for years, I tried 2 of the walkways. I have since purchased 2 more.
One of the original ones is several years old and finally starting to shred a bit. It is laid down on a curve that the dogs bank around when they chase each other. I have large dogs and I'm amazed that they didn't ruin this walkway the first year. Usually the mulch would be flung hither and yon within a month.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This is a great product that's easy to apply. I placed it between my raised vegetable beds. You don't get much of it though, especially for the price.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I use this product to cover muddy areas such as arround the raised bed and some small muddy trails.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I'm trying to control muddy area but keep it low so a mower will go over this area with out catching or getting muddy.

for the price I wish it was longer.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

It's perfect for what I need it for. I have seen similar products in large box stores but I really liked the quality of your product much better when I got it.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I got these to use in case we spilled water in the side yard we were using for cooking crawfish for a crawfish boil party. Wanted to keep folks out of the mud. The yard has black clay and no vegetation. Only had to use one. It worked fine for this use.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used the rubber walkway to replace concrete walkways that are erupting due to roots. These paths are safer to walk on and easier to push the wheelbarrow uphill. Very easy for a senior female to install.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Became a well used walk way to and from the garden

No smell, color OK.

Some units were thicker, stronger than others.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Grass growing thru walkway sections. Did not need the"tie downs" staples and discs in level areas.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

My front yard is a hill and my "walkway" was just a strip of mud down the middle ice plant. Got 3 of these to make the walk to te sidewalk and back to the house not so muddy and slippery, especially for the mailman. Instaled it between xmas 2009 and newyear 2010, and also applied a preemergent weed killer before laying it down. Well, it has a built in weedcloth under it in the first place, but used the weed killer just in case. By the spring, weeds had grown up through it and one corner was torn away, although it's possible and just a little probable someone tried to pull it up and steal it, IDK. Very disappointed. I had high hopes for this product and now it's even [$] more than it wasa year ago, making it even a poorer value.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

1 roll was the good product I used before. Other 2 were very thin, tore easily, and backing was not attached at all - VERY poor quality!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This product is pretty much as described; expensive considering the size, so using it as a main pathway cover, for example, is prohibitive; the red color is unnatural and unattractive.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This was great in theory and not bad for the first season. But in season two there are more weeds coming through it than there were before I ever put the walkway down. For the price I would expect much better. And the redwood color is MUCH brighter than pictured.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This covers the walkway between raised gardens well, is easy to apply and very attractive addition to my garden.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Product was used between vege boxes to keep weeds and mud down. Went right to work. Will see how it fares over the winter. Looks neat and feels fine to walk on. Initial tire smell was offputting but disapated over time.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I needed a long lasting product to create a walkway / barrier in a large perennial garden that had big weed and invasive plant issues. I had tried smother mulch and sprays but my walkways continued to be overtaken. If you cannot easily get into a bed, it is much more difficult to keep it under control. The recycled rubber walkway is the best thing I have found by far. And it looks very organic until you are right on it. And I think even that will change with use and time. My only concern is about chemicals leeching into the soil from the rubber. Because of this, I would never consider using this product in a vegetable garden.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Great way to keep weeds out of many different areas. We used this product in place of any other type of mulching in an area around our a/c units where it's hard to mow and we didn't want to put anything else there.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used this beneath a drip edge, it looks nice just wish I had more color options to match mulch and I wish it was bigger.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have had mulch tree rings before and I was expecting this to be of the same density and sturdiness and them. When I received my order I could hardly get the roll out of the package without tearing corners. Even though it was easy enough to roll out, if I had to lift to adjust a section, the mat would crumble in my hand. I was disappointed.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This provides a nice, maintenance-free, cushioned pathway between raised vegetable beds. It is easy to trim to size.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I use this product as a walkway between rows of tomatoes. It covers the weeds and looks great while doing so. I would like to suggest that you offer varying sizes in widths and lengths. The price is high, but the value is enormous.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This makes a great walkway. The backing is attached so it's easy to put down, take up, or rearrange; it looks great and is very durable. I found what I thought was the same product at a well known store for less money but when I got it home, the backing wasn't attached and the rubber shredded as I was unrolling.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Bought these for between raised beds. Expensive. Too narrow. Weeds grow through them. Got too close with the lawnmower and shredded part of one. Might be worth the price it were wider.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I needed something between our two raised beds and this works great. It is also soft on the knees when need be. Love it.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I'm using it in front of my Ultimate cold frame. It's the perfect product for that area! It would really be great if it were longer.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I needed something to put down that wouldn't shift out of place and would stop the flow of mud into my home from my dog's paws. It's being used in a track underneath our deck steps that my dog, Max, uses at least once a day when the mail man comes calling. It's the perfect size, stays put and allows him to continue at full speed without tripping.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I was going to use them as a pathway through my garden. The Landscaping cloth does not stay adhered to the "mulch", but even ensuring that the landscaping cloth was placed under the walkway, dandelions and grasses had grown up through it within 10 days

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I put the rubber walkway down along the house where I previously had stones. Flowering bushes line this side of the house and weeds were continually growing up, detracting from the landscape. The rubber was easy to put down and it looks great!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Putting down on newly created walkways. I ordered this product last summer and those have survived Chicago winter and Scottie who knows only one speed--helter/skelter. I tried someone else's product that appeared to be the same, but a better, lower price,and when it arrived, I knew it had been a mistake. The landscape material was NOT attached to the mulch piece and so everything tore immediately. I DO wish this product was less expensive and a bit bigger.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

easy to put dowm looks great

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used these to make a weed-free path in my veggie patch. They are in their second year and they are still in good shape. Just make sure you shake out any seeds that get trapped from the previous year when repositioning them in the garden -- I didn't do a good job and some weeds sprouted on the top this year.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

layed in path over dirt that the dog traveled daily and she moved all mulch everytime she ran by. After two days it was apart from its plastic backing and broken up. the dog is about 35 pounds and runs with glee. I fastened it down with the wire pins sold for the purpose. now I have a bag of pins only....

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I was disappointed in the light weight, I expected something more like the rubber tree mat. It is not stable or heavy enough to use as a walkway.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I just laid it down this year and it is doing exactly what I wanted. I don't know how long-lasting it is.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have 4 raised garden beds, each 12' x 4' with 2 feet in between the quad of staggered beds---I was hoping this would keep weeds to a minimum---it seems to but at [$] a pop--thats a bit too expensive to cover my garden walkways and each one is only 6 feet.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Mulch separated from the backing almost immediately. Within a couple of months in the sun, it almost completely fell apart. Not a good product.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Needed a walkway that wouldn't get muddy from the runoff of an adjacent rainspout when taking the dog out to the yard; this has become a favorite path for every venture.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I bought this product to go between some raised beds. For some reason, I thought it was going to be larger -- blame me for that. For the size, it is very pricey. It was flimsy (as other reviewers warned), and because it didn't adequately cover my three pathways, I ended up using some heavy duty landscaping fabric for the other 2 walkways, covering them with pea gravel, and then covering this mat with pea gravel as well. So, the bottom line is that I am using this rather expensive mat as landscape fabric.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

hope to get more

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

The idea of laying down a carpet type walkway between my raised beds was great. The product, however fell apart as I unrolled it and as I walk on it it continues to shred and come off the backing. Idea-great / actual product-completely inferior.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I purchased six rolls over two orders, 2 weeks apart.
The four rolls in the first order we a nice chocolate brown, but the weed barrier was only rolled with the rubber, not attached to it, and the rubber pulled apart on the edges as I tried to arrange it.
The two rolls in the second order were much redder, but the particles were more varied in size (looks much more like real mulch) and the backing was definitely securely attached. I was able to make it work, as I was using it as the path around my raised beds. There was a natural break where the color change made sense.
One trick I did figure out was to roll the material in the opposite direction right after it's taken out of its bag... makes it MUCH easier to install!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I got this for my husband. He uses this between the vegetable bins and raises them to waist high and puts these walkways between each island and saves alot of mess and weeding. We will be getting more later this summer.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Will use this to "line" an existing flower bed and set containers on it in lieu of planting flowers directly in the ground; knee problems prohibit getting low to the ground.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I bought this product to make paths around my vegetable beds. The first time I purchased, the mulch was perfect -- looked great and held the weeds down. When I reordered, the mulch came separated from the backing. I had to first lay the week block backing, then the mulch. It was also much less refined on the edges. I'd like more, but I'm afraid to order again.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I love this product. Just wish you didn't have to pay so much for so little. Haven't had it down too long but love it already. Helps NOT TO track dirt into the house.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I had been searching for a wide width rubber mulch mat for a strip alongside my driveway that doesn't seem to grow anything but weeds. This works great.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I put this by my front door to keep my kids from tracking in so much dirt and grass. I has helped a lot.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I really like products that are eco-friendly, I thought re-using old tires would be great. This product has the right idea, unfortunately it shreds and tears easily. When I rolled it out it came loose from its backing and ripped to pieces when I tried to place it. It had an unusual odor which dissipated after a few days.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

using for rows between raised beds so I can spend more time working in raised beds instead of weeding between them; nice under feet; seems like it will be long lasting;
problem is need to many, only 6 ft long, wish it came in 10-15 ft rolls

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Item is not worth the money and I would not recommend this to anyone.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I laid this between my raised beds so grass doesn't need to be mowed there, and weeds won't grow. It was more fragile than I had expected. (Tore in a few spots as I was laying it out.)

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

The product covers the space as advertised and is easy to lay out. I am sure it will keep weeds and moss out of the area where it is installed. However, it is not for even moderate traffic areas. I had expected it would be at least twice as thick as it is, maybe more. It seems to tear easily, especially at the edges, and I am afraid to walk on it or run a wheelbarrow over it.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

It crumbled to pieces as I was taking it out of the box

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This is great around my raised bed vegetable gardens. I can just mow the grass up to the mat and not have to weed wack. The only problem I had with the mat was sometimes if I picked it up wrong it would rip.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

So easy - just unroll and a perfect walkway between beds. No more mowing between beds, no more bark that sticks to bare feet, and doesn't need to be replaced or added to each year. Good use for recycled rubber.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Just picking it up causes rubber mulch to flake off the backing.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I am using it in my front yard with a series of raised beds. I like the material very much but it is not a good value. More of the material needs to be provided for the money invested. Nevertheless I have ordered more because I like the look of it. However, if it doesn't I will decline to buy it again. Overall I love the products I have bought from Garden Supply. You usually get good value for your $. This is one of the few exceptions.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I recently married and moved to my husbands condo we have our yard mowed by a service. I miss my gardens so I put in a raised bed. I did not want them to mow in the areas around my raised bed and flower garden so I made a path from the rubber-mats. It works great and looks good.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Wanted something I could put down by myself. Thought the color was pretty. My hubby framed it with landscape timbers and we sat pots on top. It will have no traffic on it and i tried it just for looks. Even hubby remarked how pretty it was, mark up one for ME!!!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I chose this product to provide a clean entry to the back door. In a condominium setting, it is staying within the boundries of allowed solutions, and gives a safe, clean pathway, especially helpful during "mudseason", for me and my Cairn Terrier.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Makes it easy to create walkways between my raised beds - suppresses weeds very, very nicely.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Use the product around my raised vegetable beds.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

The area I placed the walkway in looks nice and neat. It is serving its purpose well. It was easy to cut and lay out. Glad I purchased it. Thanks!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I lay the strips down between my raised beds to prevent crabgrass and other weeds from taking over the walkways.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have had a raised beds in my organic garden for years, and every spring, come the rains - muddy, messy garden paths. When I saw this product in the catalog, I bought several to try them out in solving this long standing problem in my garden. They are incredibly easy to install, just take them out of the bag and unroll! My one beef is they are only 6' long, and it took quite a few to finish my garden. It would be great if they were available in longer lengths and wider widths. They are pretty pricey, so I am hoping they will last a good, long time. I bought some bags of recycled red rubber mulch that is ground up to look like bark, and scattered it over the seams where the walkways meet, and between the walkways and my raised beds, where there were gaps. The color matched well, and as the sun works on the red rubber mulch and the paths, they are blending even more. It looks very nice and is a pleasure to move my wheelbarrow on, working in the beds. It drains very well, also. I moved a swing back there, and enjoy spending time just swinging with my cat and dog, and enjoying my new "landscaped" garden. Very easy for one person to do, with good results. Will wait to see how they last, as they are a little thin.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

It is best to remove weeds from walkways before laying this down, but once it is down, nothing gets through. It makes such a nice clean path between my raised beds, and if any dirt spills onto it while tilling my beds, I can just lift it up and shake the dirt back into the bed. The size is just right for my 6' beds with 2' between.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I use this around my raised beds. It looks tidy and keeps weeds under control. Also is a soft surface to walk or kneel upon.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

The mats worked well for my application. They fit nicely under and around my downspout. All other attempts at keeping the wood chips, mulch, rocks, etc. failed because they kept washing away. This seems to be a nice solution to an ongoing problem. And, made in the USA!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I am useing this product to make a path thru my garden. It is also helpful to cut down on weeds.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used the fabric in my vegetable garden, between the raised beds, where weeds have always taken over. It was easy to apply and looks OK, but I wish I had ordered the other color because the red looks out of place(however, the website advertisement wouldn't show the other color). It's too early to tell how well it will hold up to foot traffic, but hopefully (for the price) it will solve my problem longer than my old method of using cardboard.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have been using these mats for 2 years and they look as good as new. They are left in the garden all year and have held up great to the harsh South Dakota winters.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

LOVE this item! I have raised beds for my herbs and veggies, because my NW clay soil is soggy in the rainy season (which is from fall through April). I had already built two raised beds and placed them in my yard, when I found these recycled rubber walk-ways. They just happened to fit between my 6' beds! This year, I built another raised bed and ordered another mat. No muddy shoes when I walk between the beds! As an extra added bonus - it looks good! I can't tell much difference between last year's and the new one. Very sturdy!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We used this very sturdy mat on the ground at the bottom of our deck stairs. So far, it has prevented our Beagle from digging in this spot and producing mud!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Used for walkway in front yard, sidewalk to porch. I thought it was quite expensive especially after receiving it and seeing how thin it is. Put Preen under it because I have a feeling the weeds will easily grow up through it. Was going to even put another double layer of
weedcloth under it but thought it would make it somewhat slippery, even though I used the earth staples. Only time wil tell if it was a good investment. For those of you who thought it was expensive pre-2010, it just went up 30+% so I won't be buying any more. I also agree they need to be longer, I had to use 3 to reach the sidewalk. They should sell it by the foot so there is no money or product waste.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

we needed something to use to prevent mud from getting on the wheels of a wheelchair. This will do that but is too narrow and was short of the 6 ft advertised. It will stand up under the chair wheels but is very expensive for the area needed.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This is a great item. I have a walkway that gets muddy from the rain and snow. I tried putting down gravel but it is hard to move anything with wheels on the gravel. This product lies down real easy and I do not have any problem using things with wheels. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This is such a great product for muddy walkways. It is easy to lay down and gives the walkway a finished look.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used this product on a steep path along with loose recycled rubber mulch to blend along the sides. Now the path has good footing for humans as well as my old dog. Weeds don't grow through it and it has stopped the erosion of the path. Very pleased with this.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used this to make paths thru my garden. Expensive because I needed so many, but it seems to be worth it. So easy to put down.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I've been using recycled rubber pavers for years with great success, and have wished for larger blocks for just as long. I have doubts about this rather flimsy material holding up under frequent traffic on walkways, but it's just the thing for controlling weeds along fences and the edges of outbuildings. Very attractive product; I have already recommended it to several friends. (And I'm still waiting for bigger pavers to become available…)

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

so natural looking. Only wish it came in longer legnths.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I was creating a new daylily garden in a triangle off my adjoining decks........these walkways are the perfect solution for the path I created through the new garden! You just roll them out, cut them ,if needed. They will keep my paths weed free and save me alot of time and effort. The more you buy, the less each costs.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I purchased the recycled rubber walkway as ground cover around the base of a tree and as weed cover for a decorative flower bed. The sheets are easy to work with and give a nice finished appearance. For an even more natural look, I suggest a bag or two of loose recycled rubber mulch which can be scattered over the top of the walkway.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I purchased this to use between garden beds. The overall effect was overwhelming [too much pathway] so I removed the center portion and I am using it as a wide garden edging I can mow over. Some grass does grow up through this product. It's a fairly expensive way to do a pathway, but it's easily movable/removable if you want to make changes. It's easy to install [except for hammering in the ground staples required to hold it in place]. It uses recycled rubber tires, so it's helping to reuse a difficult-to-dispose-of item.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Used first order for some walkways. Ordered the walnut color and mulch matched beautifully. Ordered another batch for more walkways, and this 2nd shipment, I did not like the walnut color as you could see where the redwood color had been sprayed over with walnut coloring. While it was all 13 rolls, it was annoying, but not a deal breaker to send back. Was very disappointed about the color, however.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

It is too light weight for a walk way. I returned it.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Placed around foundation, where I did not want piles of wet mulch, but needed a neat edge for mowing.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

No installation except using the ground staples

Durable rubber that should last a lonnnng time

Helps give the garden a more finished look

Won't harden the soil underneath it like a plastic cover in preventing weeds from growing

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

These mats roll out easily and stay in place. Blends well with mulch of like color. We hope it will last for some time to come so that it will prove economical in the long run.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have used this between 2 rows in my raised vegie
beds. It looks great and now I do not track mud on my feet. I also enjoy this product because of the weed control that is provided.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used this to create a pathway through my veg garden for access to our propane tank. Perfect. Grips well for walking (important, since it's on a hill), has kept the weeds under wraps with nothing showing through so far, after more than a month. I'd love to get more.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

The rubber walkway is a great product and a great value. We purchased it to aid our older dog in his walk on gravel from our back porch to our back yard. The walkway has served this purpose very well as our dog has tender feet and the walkway is soft and comfortable. Sadly, our dog, Mitchell, recently passed away.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I bought 9 of these for a walk way. They looked wonderful and were nice to walk on, but after only part of a season, there is major shedding of the rubber, acutal holes. So disappointed

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Originally bought them because we can't afford stepping stones. Now I plan to buy a couple every few months & place them everywhere!!!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We used this as a short walkway from back steps to patio and love it! It was very easy to roll out and install and very easy to keep clean. It looks so nice and without the messiness that you have from loose mulch. We have plans to purchase another one for the back part of our house.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This walkway does exactly what I wanted--provides me with a pathway through my garden without getting muddy and also prevents weeds.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I wanted to place a path within a large perennial bed but didn't want to deal with mulches, gravel, blocks or pavers. This product fit the bill. I am worried about weeds so I placed a double layer of weed barrier and Preen underneath before laying it down. The color faded quickly, losing that initial shiny look. I haven't noticed any odor and it looks great - I hope it holds up well once in place since it does have a tendancy to crumble off in spots when being worked on - it would be great if there were cornered pieces offered in addition to the straight pieces.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We have a bower that we are creating. It is perfect between the sides and was so easy to cut and get into place. I also use it as a pathway between flowers to our neighbor's yard. Their dogs think it is terrific as well. They use it instead of between flowers.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I was desperate to create an easy to care for and safe path in the narrow space between the back of my raised beds and the fence. This solved my problem in about 4 seconds..I just unrolled it, put it down -- and instantly I had an attractive, weed free, no maintenance pathway! Will order more, for sure. Great find!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Because of the wind, I have to replace mulch each year and I have used this to replace large areas of loose mulch. I have used the smaller rubber mulch near the driveway and sidewalks to cut down on sweeping. It worked great. So when I saw this larger version, I thought about using it on the large areas of mulch that must be replaced each year. Not only does it look good, but it cuts down on weeds. I will definitely be purchasing more of these to complete this project.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I created an instant, weed free, mud free path for my mower and garden cart. The walnut color is very natural looking. My neighbor is envious because she just spent a lot of money & time creating a gravel path in her yard.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I put this in a walk way to my garden and removed the plastic edging that never stayed in place. It looks great and I don't worry about tracking in mulch or dirt. great product but a little expensive.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We have a gravel walk way, it was hard for our dog to walk on...We layed this down on the gravel and he walks right down the path to the lawn...
Great product..!! Mitch Columbus ohio

I used this to surround a "fort" we built for my grndsons. It is wonderful.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I use the product as a mat over places where I cannot grow grass. it keeps the mud down and the dogs love to sleep on it. it has changed the way that the yard looks.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We covered the ground in a small yard with these walkways. They look great and make the yard look finished. Much better than mulch to keep weeds out and feet dry. Way cheaper than brick or stepping stones and light weight too. Bought a couple and then reordered many more.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I am using these matts between rows of vegetables. They are working very well. Keeps the weeds down and makes a nice walkway when picking vegetables. The mats are a little expensive but they work well. I will probably buy a few more next year if these hold up well.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Used for a base for the picnic table to eliminate moving the table everytime we mowed the yard.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I USED THE RUBBER WALKWAY TO COVER A DEEP SLOPE. I HAVE WAITED TO SEE HOW IT WOULD HOLD UP UNDER THE WEAR OF 2 LARGE DOGS, IT HAS DONE VERY WELL AND I AM PLEASED WITH THE APPEARANCE TOO.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

The pathways through my garden were originally made by laying down river rocks and spreading sand over them. Pretty at first, but weeds and grass invaded over the years. I'd spend more time weeding the pathways than the garden itself. These weed barrier walkways were easy to install, suppress the weeds and grass beneath them, and I could create curved paths by angling the six foot lengths.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

The possibility of zinc in the tires was brought to my attention when I ordered this product. It is not clear whether I can use it around my raised vegetable garden beds. It does quash the weeds.

We had tried for years to keep mulch on our pathway. It washed away and got raked away with fall leaf cleanup. This is solving the problem and is beautiful to look at while being environmentally friendly.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I bought this fabric to avoid the splashing of water/dirt on the house that comes from the downpour of water off the roof (especially this year!). It blends in perfectly with the mulch I use so you can't tell the difference where one ends and the other starts. I plan on buying more for the same use. Fantastic! Not plasticy looking either; looks like real mulch. Solved a major, ongoing problem with little effort. LOVE IT!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

My husband never used the pavers as he walked through the garden to/from his car.
So, I replaced the pavers with the walkway, he is no longer tracking mud onto the front porch and into the house.

THE MAT IS USED IN THE VEGATABLE GARDEN

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have a raised garden and the walkway fits nicely in between the beds. Love it!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

It is being used as a walkway over crushed rock. It looks good, dust washes off with rain, keeping it looking like new, and it is extremely comfortable to walk on. It is soft and cushiony to the feet. Friends have commented on how nice it looks and asked where we got it.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I like the look of it. I placed it on a pathway on a hill to keep the weeds, violets, & ajuga from taking over.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Great walkway or path. Very easy to apply. Great way to recycle.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I am using these "runners" into my vegetable garden in order to control weeding and also keep my walking area clean. I love them; especially the fact that they are produced from a recycleable material. I just wish that they were less expensive.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

to cover muddy walkway

material very thin

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used the rubber walkway to provide colorful, weedfree walkways through my garden. I was pleased to use a recycled product that is so perfect for my needs.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used this to cover the paths between my raised bed gardens. SO far I love it.The mower goes right over the edges,and no weeds! Only time will tell how nice it looks and how long it lasts. It was an expensive investment, but I hope it proves to be worth it.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I had previously purchased the rubber mulch tree ring and was impressed by the heavy-weight construction. I assumed (my fault) that the pathways would be the same product, except for the shape. They are not. They are much less substantial. Not awful, but not quite what I was expecting, or what I hoped for. But I am using them. They do keep weeds down between beds. I just don't think they'll last as long as I'd hoped they would.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I am using 5 of these to cover an area that is quickly becoming hostile to lawn mowing. Large spruce has larger width than predicted and too close now to fence line to comfortably mow the grass. Other mulch products too likely to be consumed by my dogs so I was very happy to find this product. Easy for me to apply, attractive and safe. Mourning doves sun there every morning so they have also given it a thumbs up.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This is a very good-looking product - it's almost indistinguishable from real bark mulch, and it has proven to be extremely effective in keeping the weeds out of a very problematic patch in my garden.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I am using this as a walkway in several places, but I have more places than I have product so I am ordering more. This stuff is great!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

A bit expensive for all of our garden paths. Hope it'll go on sale at end of year!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Using for a pathway

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

These make my garden look so neat! Took no time at all to unroll and put down. Didn't even need the staples I bought with it. They stay in place. Wish they came in different lengths as they would work better if they were longer.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

great for paths and for controlling water run off. I also used for mulch in between tomato rows.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We just installed a spa, and needed a border around it. Did not want stones, or patio blocks, wanted a softer surface. This was not only the exact size we needed, but it looks perfect, and required a lot less work to install. Perfect!
Can also see other applications for it,,,,

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This product is easy to use just roll it out and its done. I bought it to keep my cat from pooping in my garden and to keep my dog from digging in the garden to get the cat poop (ewe!). My cat will still poop in the garden but I see it and clean it before the dog gets to it (most of the time :0). It keeps the dog from digging and keeps weeds down. The only con is that it has an odor to it which will hopefully go away with time. It would be nice if it came in longer lengths.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I use this as a path from the backyard to the door so the dogs don't track mud into the house.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

To fill in between flowers

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

After looking everywhere for the recycled tire products I finally found them in your catalog. We were looking for something that would work as a pathway through playground mulch and this works perfectly. It does get rather hot when in direct sunlight so be careful when going barefoot.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I laid 4 walkway strips side by side on the lawn then placed our 3 person swing on it. The rubber walkway strips were secured with earth staples. It was fast and it worked out very well.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We used this as a walkwayat the edge of the flowerbeds. It was easy to lay down and stays put while preventing weeds. My husbands only concern is with the snow in the winter.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We used between our raised gardens. Works great and easy on the knees

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used four of them to make paths in a large
perennial bed. I plan to top them with real mulch but even without that they look nice. And do a great job.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We cut the walkway so it covers the pond filter at the top of our waterfall. The faux mulch blends in better than other coverings, and it's easy to remove when it's time to clean the filter. Placing a few rocks on top of it holds it in place and helps make it look even more natural.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Put this under my bench so I wouldn't need to mow under it. Works fine and cost was inline with similiar products I've used.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I created a new flower bed and used this as walkways to define beds, and allow a way to get to a birdbath. This was so easy, looks great, and despite the fact I haven't had it many months, I am sure it will continue to perform well.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

It is being used to deter my scottish terrier who has only one speed ---fast---from further causing "ruts" in out main walkways. I covered it (I bought walnut color) with a thin cover of mulch which blends in beautifully with the rest of the mulch on either side of the rubber walkway. I haven't had it a full season yet, but so far, so good.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used it as a walkway through a big flower bed. I had earlier used wood chips, but they washed away with heavy rains. This looked a little artificial when we first put it down, but after a week the flowers had started bending over it, a few leaves had settled on it, and it now looks very natural. I have only had it for a month, but I hope it will keep up for a long time.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I was tired of trying to move the heavy picnic table each time I needed to mow and thought this would be a good alternative.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Used the product at the back of flower beds to prevent weeds, keep soil from washing, and animals from digging. Haven't had animal issues yet, haven't had extreme rain to test the washing, and for the most part it has kept weeds at bay, although some seem to be getting through. Probably would suggest putting down a layer of newspapers before laying this product. Rubber smell will hopefully dissipate over time. It is a brighter red than I expected and will be obvious unless it fades with time. Haven't found any wood mulch product that comes close to that color. If I had it to do over, I would order the other color. On flat areas it may not be necessary to buy the earth staples to hold it in place. Time will tell.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We have problems with our dogs running a path worn into the ground where no grass will grow.
The path was around a fence. I purchased the recyled walkway and it not only looks wonderful but most of all the dogs use it. We were afraid they would avoid it but it is nice and soft and cushioning to their paws. It has solved alot of problems for us.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Because my garden is on pure shale, I use this for a comfortable walk way. I am hoping to allow some ground cover n to grow up to the mat to soften the effect. I should have chosen the walnut color as the redwood is a little to instense in color.
So far basically satisfied

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Not sure how long this will last as it was shedding fiber right out of the package. It does roll right out, so easy to use. I don't think it will hold up to the heavy rains we usually receive here in South Louisiana.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We make a bean fort for the kids every year with trellises and pole beans. The kids spend much of the summer in it shaded from the sun with snacks growing from the walls. I've had trouble finding the right floor for the bottom of the fort. Wood chips attract ants and the kids' chair legs sink through them causing them to fall. I bought 3 of the rubber walkways and lined them up along the bottom of the fort. The chairs sit on them well and it seems like the perfect solution. I also plan to buy more of various shapes to put in the open center of our sunflower forest which serves as another fort/pirate jail. It stops weeds and keeps the kids from getting too muddy. I am very happy with this product.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I put these down in all the garden paths/walkways. They look great, neat and not messy like bark mulch. Should keep the weeds at bay just fine. They were easy to install with the staples, and didn't have to use many in each one. Looks as though they will last for years, but time will tell.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Did not want to spend another summer pulling weeds from my veggie garden (4 x 17), so did my last pulling and weed spraying and laid this mulch carpet down. Edge the garden in rock. This year I have planted my veggies in large pots and put on top of this mulch carpet. It is doing the trick, is clean and neat and I have received compliments on it. People have said "great idea". LOVE IT!!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I am using this as permanent mulch next to my house to keep down weeds where there is not enough rain for desirable plants.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I bought one of these to create a walkway on a dirt path. I liked it so much I bought two more. Those two were on backorder and when I received them, they were not as durable as the first. Bits and pieces started falling apart although I decided to keep them after trimming off the affected areas.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

provided instant mulch mat over lawn to hold tomato plants in patio pots

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

These are new and I have just place them in a new flower bed. I think the are easy to use and will be durable, not neading replacement year after year like some mulches. I am going to orderer more.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I used the product as a base for a stone path to keep the stones from sinking into the ground and stop eroison issues. Worked great. Walnut matches your surrounding mulch as well. I will be using more as a base and just a strait path.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

This makes my trimming work in the yard easier. I placed the rubber edging under my stone garden edging and extended it out a bit, so I can run my mower over the edging which eliminates my trim work in this part of the garden. Thanks a bunch!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I am using this product as a pathway to divide different sections of my fenced-in vegetable garden, and also as a walkway around the interior perimeter. I used Earth Staples to install. Easy to use, looks fantastic, and it has not allowed a single weed to appear. My only concern is for how effective it will be in the long term . . . the mulch fibers do not appear to be really firmly adhered to the fabric backing. This product was relatively expensive, but if it holds up for a number of years, it will be more than worth it. If it still looks good after about 3 years, I will change my overall rating to 5 stars!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I placed this next to the foundation to prevent weeds and hold my pots of Hostas in the shade. It looks good, and when I cover it with leaves will be even better. We live in the woods and we have a "natural" yard - not a manicured one. Weeds are a constant problem. I think it will be a very useful product and will probably buy more for other areas near and just under the deck. I do not intend to use it for walkways necessarily, other than around the deck.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Have just ordered my second round of mats - we put down the first 4 and immediately began planning on where to add additional ones. Makes the yard look well detailed.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

We wanted our small condominium garden with pots to look clean and well kept. This product looks just like an expensive mulch without all the hassle. Our pot area looks clean and neat, no weeds can come through and leaves can be easily swept away.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Just had a chance to lay the product down yesterday. It was a fast and efficient way of making a path my dogs had worn out in the grass (by their constant running) look good with relatively little work.
It really does look good. I was pleasantly surprised!

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

It was used where we always put mulch to keep weeds out in flowerbed.Had to keep buying each year. Hope this will look as good next year.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

i got to use as a walkway frequently used but the pieces don't seem well attached to base and I'm afraid it won't last long. would have been better used as a mulch in a flower bed or garden

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Got this to cover a muddy spot in the path I use to get into my side yard veggie garden. It was easy to lay down and secure with ground stakes and satisfies my need to recycle. It is just the right width for a pathway and inexpensive enough to be user friendly especially for elders on a budget!
It looks good and adds a nice dimension to the space.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I have a long pathway of loose rubber mulch. I moved the mulch to the sides and put the "walkway" in the middle. Then I covered the fabric and staples with the loose mulch. Now the dog or people won't scatter the mulch. The walkway stays in place and leaves can be blown off of it. If it were cheaper and longer I would do all my paths with it. I wish they made different widths and lengths. It would be wonderful for flower beds.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Mainly used as a pathway through plants to our gas meter. Also allows window washer access to an out of the way window. It's a good way to direct service people to walk where they should.
The color blends in well with the lawn, plants, stepping stones and mulch - an excellent product and practical use for scrapped tires.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

Lot of waste if path curves since this lays out one way and one way only - straight. You could cut it etc but then you have a lot of waste.I filled in my gaps with loose rubber mulch which is available everywhere but is also ranges from [$] a bag depending on area.

Comments about Recycled Rubber Walkway:

I bought this for my son and daughter-in-law when they were sodding their back yard, to create a walkway from the deck to the gate. They both love not only the look, but also the feel underfoot.
Important: Before laying,level and smooth ground. Then roll out and secure with earth staples.
