Protecting Surfaces & Sensitive Areas
Ground protection mats to protect lawns, tree roots, and sensitive sites for every sector. Expert advice and fast, reliable
Ground Protection Mats for Every Environment
When your project requires surface protection, GroundGuards provides the solution. Our ground protection mats prevent damage to lawns, paths, sports pitches, heritage sites, and delicate ground in a wide range of sectors. With more than twenty years of experience, we support construction teams, event organisers, and estate managers in working with care for the environment, no matter how sensitive the location.
Why Use Ground Protection Mats?
Ground protection mats offer a stable surface for people and vehicles, spreading weight to prevent ruts, mud, and compaction. This approach protects tree roots, turf, and finished ground, lowers reinstatement costs, and keeps your site looking its best. Our solutions help you:
- Protect lawns, gardens, and sports pitches during periods of heavy use
- Prevent root damage in tree protection zones and on heritage sites
- Avoid mud, ruts, and surface compaction
- Meet planning and environmental regulations
- Maintain access without permanent changes to the landscape
