A synthetic ground covering that is designed to replicate mulch, lava rocks, flag stones, sand, pebbles, straw, and other natural ground coverings. The ground covering is preferably fabricated from rubber or latex and is produced in rolls that measure fifty (50) feet long and eight (8) to twelve (12) feet wide, with the roll being unrolled like a section of carpet. The ground covering could be cut to conform to the shape of the landscape or designed to fit around trees, poles, and other obstructions. Furthermore, the border would be flexible to allow it to fit within confined spaces or enclosures.
