Ground cover made of rubber protects play areas for children

BALTIMORE SUN
Kids love the playground. The running, the climbing, the sliding, the swinging - it's a kid's life.
But, as a parent, you worry about your kid's safety, and rightfully so.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 92 percent of playground injuries result from falls onto hard surfaces.
And, according to the commission, only nine out of 100 home play areas have protective surfaces.
If you're thinking about installing a new home play area or wanting to make your existing one safer, consider GroundScape Kids, a protective ground cover for kids' outdoor recreational areas.
GroundScape Kids, made of clean, nontoxic, shredded rubber, can be easily installed beneath play sets, under treehouses or in and around sandboxes.
And it's superior to asphalt, concrete, stones, wood chips or grass in protecting kids' falls.
GroundScape Kids, available in six colors, is odorless, repels insects, won't rub off on hands, clothes or shoes, and is maintenance-free (just rake it occasionally to smooth out).
Tough and durable, it's guaranteed for life and will never deteriorate. Color is guaranteed for 10 years.
GroundScape Kids retails for about $16 for a 40-pound bag.
