At Ground Protection Mats, we provide durable, portable ground cover solutions that safeguard lawns, soil, and delicate surfaces from damage caused by vehicles, equipment, or heavy foot traffic.

Whether for construction, landscaping, or events, our mats create stable, weather-resistant pathways and access routes, ensuring smooth, damage-free operations across the UK.

Why Use Ground Protection Mats?

Using ground protection mats helps prevent ruts, mud, and soil erosion, even under repeated vehicular use.

They are particularly useful on soft or wet terrain, where unprotected access can lead to costly ground damage.

Our systems maintain grass and turf aesthetics, reducing the need for post-use restoration.

Mats also provide a firm, non-slip surface for workers and the public, improving safety. They’re ideal for short-term or extended use, standing up to all seasons and site conditions.

What Types Of Ground Protection Mats Are Available?

We supply various ground protection mats to suit different load and terrain needs, including:

• Heavy-duty mats – Designed for HGVs, cranes, and tracked machinery on demanding sites.
• Pedestrian-safe mats – Featuring anti-slip textures for footpaths, stages, and light-use areas.
• Flexible plastic trackway mats – Contouring to uneven terrain for fast setup and strong ground support.
• Composite mats with gripped finishes – Ideal for wet, sloped, or high-risk environments.
• Eco-friendly and recyclable mats – Suitable for sustainable projects with minimal environmental impact.

How Much Do Ground Protection Mats Cost?

Ground protection mats in the UK cost between £10 and £40 per square metre, or £50 to £250 per mat, depending on specifications.

Costs are determined by mat type, material, size, thickness, load rating, and whether they are hired or purchased, with heavier-duty, larger, and vehicle-rated mats priced higher than lightweight pedestrian options.

What Materials Are Ground Protection Mats Made From?

Our ground protection mats use high-density polyethylene (HDPE), known for its resistance to impact, moisture, and heavy loads.

We also provide recycled plastic composites, suitable for environmentally conscious projects.

For sites requiring additional reinforcement, we supply metal-framed or timber-core mats that provide extra strength under extreme loads.

All products feature UV- and weather-resistant coatings, ensuring year-round performance.

Can Ground Protection Mats Be Used In All Weather Conditions?

Our ground protection mats are designed by using materials which are UV-stable, frost-resistant, and highly durable.

Their textured surfaces provide traction in rain, snow, or mud, reducing the risk of slipping or vehicle skidding.

Mats prevent vehicles from sinking and workers from losing footing in wet or soft-ground environments, ensuring a safer and more efficient worksite or event environment.

Where Are Ground Protection Mats Commonly Used?

Ground protection mats serve a wide range of sectors and applications, including:

• Construction and utility sites – Supporting access roads, laydown areas, and crane pads.
• Outdoor events and festivals – Protecting turf while creating clean walkways and vehicle access routes.
• Landscaping and tree surgery – Enabling temporary access for plant equipment and machinery.
• Emergency response zones – Providing stable ground for vehicles and responders in remote or soft-ground areas.
• Golf courses and sports fields – Preventing surface damage from vehicles and equipment.
• Private estates and large grounds – Ensuring discreet, landscape-safe access for temporary traffic.

What’s Involved In Installing Ground Protection Mats?

Our ground protection mat installation process begins with a site visit and ground condition assessment, followed by a matting layout plan that ensures optimal traffic flow and load distribution.

Our team then handles professional delivery and optional installation, making sure everything is positioned for maximum stability.

Once on-site, mats are easy to move, reconfigure, or expand as your access needs change.
