Does anyone know if bulch mulch is available for consumer purchase in the KC area? We've been told that rubber mulch hold its color and doesn't blow away like wood mulch. I would certainly hope so for the price. After paying $70 in bagged mulch for ONE burm I thought I would try to find out. Thanks!!

another thing to consider is
another thing to consider is cleanup of leaves in a rubber mulch area. it can be done but wont be fun
Just a few more notes..
I would just like to add a little to what has already wisely been said.
Rubber mulch will still fade within a couple of years, and then you'll have to do the work to REMOVE it, or pay someone else to do it, before putting a new mulch on.
Rubber mulch does not breath like organic mulches. It is, in effect, putting a big rubber mat over your garden area. Any plants in that area will suffer from a lack of oxygen in the soil if you have a thick layer of rubber mulch around them.
Rubber mulch does not transport water like organic mulches. The water does not penetrate or percolate through as well, and the moisture is not retained in the mulch itself (to be released later, in dryer times).
If you are looking for a good mulch that will hold it's color well as well as provide good things to your soil and plants, look toward larger piece hardwood mulches. Buy the biggest pieces you can find and afford. There are many many companies in the area that can provide this. Just google "bulk mulch Kansas City" and you'll start finding some, or search the yellow pages for bulk mulch and make a few phone calls.
The best thing you can buy for a planted area is large pieces of hardwood (like oak) mulch. It holds its color well. It holds moisture well. And it breaks down much more slowly than the typical bagged mulch found everywhere.
Hope this helps,

Rubber Mulch
I would start by checking with some of the local companies that specialize in mulch. I cannot give names but try to larger garden centers or mulching companies.
One note of concern. Rubber mulch does have some down sides. You will pay a lot more then $70 for mulch but it will last longer. You may pay double for the rubber mulch.
From a plant care standpoint I would use rubber mulch with caution in planting beds. It does blow and leaves the target area. The other potential problem is that it is pretty much permanent. Digging around in the soil it will work in and be lost, never to be recovered or break down.
Rubber mulch is probably best placed in areas where additional planting will not take place or play areas.
Best of luck with the project. I fully understand the problem as I probably spend more on mulch than plants.

Advice from a mulch wonk
I'll just speak my piece here and say the only things that I would ever use as mulch are organic materials: wood chips, bark, leaves, kitchen scraps, compost, grass clippings, etc. One of the most important purposes of mulch is its improvement of your soil through its decomposition. Rubber mulch won't do that. Neither will stones for that matter. I know people don't like replacing mulch every year or two, but your plants like it, and I figure when it comes to gardening, whatever the plants prefer is what I'll do.
That rubber stuff is never going to stay on top of the soil. Weather, animals, earthworm activity -- they all will eventually move it down into the plants' root zones, and that can't be good for the plants.
