This product, typically available at large home improvement retailers, is a binding agent designed to adhere mulch, rocks, or other ground cover materials together. It’s applied as a liquid and dries to form a durable, protective layer, preventing displacement due to wind, rain, or foot traffic. A common application includes securing playground mulch for safety or stabilizing decorative rock in landscaping projects.
The primary advantages of utilizing such a binding agent are enhanced aesthetic appeal, reduced maintenance, and prevention of erosion. By consolidating the ground cover, it minimizes the need for frequent replenishment and prevents materials from migrating onto unwanted areas like sidewalks or lawns. Historically, loose ground cover required significant upkeep; these adhesives offer a longer-lasting and more visually cohesive solution.
