Protecting Valuable Locations from Damage

Film and TV productions often take place in high-profile or sensitive locations where ground damage can lead to costly repairs or strained relationships with owners. Heavy vehicles, repeated foot traffic, and equipment setup can quickly turn grass, parks, and public spaces into muddy, rutted ground. Without proper protection, locations risk being left in a worse state, affecting budgets and future filming opportunities.

Matting that keeps kit and crew on schedule

Maintain Reliable Access for Every Department

Production vehicles, lighting trucks, generators, and catering need secure access across varied terrain and changing conditions. GroundGuards provides robust mats that keep routes stable and safe, enabling crews to work efficiently and stick to tight schedules, even when weather or ground conditions are challenging.
