The Challenge: Respecting Sacred Spaces

Cemeteries and graveyards are sensitive environments where appearance, access, and public respect are paramount. When grave digging and maintenance works are required, these operations must be carried out cleanly and without causing lasting damage to lawns, verges, or pathways.

For parks and landscapes teams, particularly those using mini excavators or diggers, the risk of ground rutting or leaving muddy tyre tracks is high. Such disruption is not only visually intrusive but can also distress visitors to the site.

The GroundGuards Solution: Lightweight, Low Impact Matting

GroundGuards recommended MultiTrack as the ideal ground protection system for cemetery operations. Each mat weighs just 39kg, meaning two workers can carry and install them by hand without the need for mechanical lifting equipment. The mats are made from strong, high-density polyethylene and can withstand vehicles up to 120 tonnes, making them perfect for compact plant machinery and service vehicles.

MultiTrack mats were laid down quickly to create temporary access routes and stable working areas around grave sites. Once the work was complete, the mats were cleaned off and reused on the next site, making them a practical and cost-effective investment for ongoing operations.

Results & Outcome: Clean Worksites and Protected Grounds

The use of MultiTrack enabled grave-digging teams to work efficiently while fully protecting the cemetery grounds from rutting and damage. The mats eliminated unsightly mud trails and preserved the dignity of the site throughout the process.

MultiTrack now forms a core part of regular cemetery maintenance operations, ensuring that even in wet or soft ground conditions, essential works can be completed without leaving a mark.
