Lawn Protection Mats

Ground Protection Mats are commonly used for moving equipment onto dirt or grass areas to protect it from being torn up by heavy equipment. When used for landscaping, most contractors will use these mats to prevent damage to lawns and turf while heavy equipment is being moved to the backyard. It's always a good idea to make sure the pristine appearance of the front yard remains the same plus if a contractor tears up a yard, chances are they will have to pay for the repairs.

During renovations or construction, you want to ensure lawns will be safe and undamaged by heavy equipment which is a leading concern for homeowners. Your best option is using Ground Protection Mats to allow heavy equipment and even vehicles to move over the lawn without creating ugly ruts or creating a muddy mess to the yard.

Not all lawn protection mats are equal as you'll read below. The following are the most popular options.

Grass Protection Mesh

Grass Protection Mesh, also known as "lawn protection matting" is a thick HDPE material that can be placed directly over grass to allow for vehicular traffic/parking as well as walking paths or dog runs. The matting allows the grass to grow through it, while also not being damaged by vehicular traffic. It helps to prevent rutting and sinking. It is also fully permeable.

The grass protection mesh option is best for more semi-permanent, to permanent applications, in particular for RV parking, parking lots, and dog run areas.

Water Logged Plywood Sheets

Plywood

A cheap choice and will cost a less than ground protection mats at least initially. This matting can easily become damaged from repeated use and will break down when it gets wet. Plywood has the shortest life expectancy when compared to composite or plastic mats that can be recycled for many other projects. Plywood is not the most long-lasting product as water will make the product fall apart under the weight of equipment or vehicles. In most cases, these sheets are thrown out after a project ends.

The most common form to protect lawns and prevent mud is plywood. Most homeowners as well as contractors will opt for using plywood to place on the ground for a quick fix if there are no other alternatives.

OSB and Plywood Protection

OSB is a wood sheeting made of 95% wood chips and is often used in a construction similar to plywood. Both OSB and plywood ground protection absorb water and will quickly break down during continual use leaving the ground exposed to mud, rutting, and damage to the grass and soil beneath. These High-Density polyethylene sheets are laid down directly over the ground and even stacked on top of each other but do not offer any interlocking mechanisms to prevent the wood from sliding out of place when trucks or heavy equipment pass over them.

Due to the increasing cost of construction materials and wood, using OSB/Plywood sheets are used to protect yards from mud but can be quite expensive for a one-shot use of the mats. It is not recommended that you use anything less than ½” width as it will definitely deteriorate during use.

Plywood can move out of place if the vehicles make an abrupt turn of the wheels. The spinning can be eliminated by using the best ground protection mats that have interlocking connections to prevent the panels from sliding or slipping out of place.

Cost-Effective, Environmentally Sound, And The Perfect Alternative To Plywood

Unlike plywood, ground protection is a good investment. These mats are more economical long-term, will support more weight, and will not crack, warp or rot from water absorbency and contaminants which will offer a longer life with very little environmental impact. At the end of use, these mats are easily cleaned and ready for reuse on many job sites for 10 years without cross-contamination.

Turf protection mats will give you an excellent surface to walk on, work on, or drive on. They are designed with a diamond plate tread on the reverse side to give you effective traction to prevent vehicles from slipping. The mats are 1/2-inch thick and are made of recycled polyethylene plastic, making them the toughest on the market with its Shore A 100 density rating

Note: We also offer a wall drain mat that is the ideal rain screen solution and facade vent. The durable lightweight mat is used behind traditional stucco, EIFS, manufactured stone, and fiber cement.
