Not many things provide a more welcoming and attractive appeal of a home or business than a perfectly manicured and landscaped yard with a freshly paved driveway. A vibrant and lush lawn shows that you pay attention to detail and take great care of your home and business. Spending time cultivating a beautiful lawn reaps benefits far beyond beauty, such as keeping you cooler, helping to fight allergies, decreasing stress, and providing a nice space to spend time enjoying.

A healthy, thick lawn also benefits the environment by keeping the air clean, reducing stormwater runoff erosion, and more. It has also been said to increase a home’s overall value by as much as 15 percent! So, what happens when machinery, heavy foot traffic, or vehicles need to go on that beautiful yard? What measures can be put into place to protect the lawn, soil, and even asphalt when potential equipment could cause damage? Ground protection mats are known for being quite heavy, but then again, so is waterlogged plywood. Fortunately, there are lightweight ground protection mats. Granted, you may have to accept the fact that going smaller than 4x8 feet may need to be considered.

An excellent option for protecting the ground or grass for loads of up to 120 tons, these ground protection mats are an excellent option.

They are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a uniquely engineered surface texture. This texture allows for maximum traction, reduced slippage, minimal mud, and enhanced forward traction. They are also weatherproof, waterproof, and are nearly indestructible. At about 86 pounds per mat, these ground protection mats are among the lightest weight for their size.

2x4 Foot Ground Protection Mat

The 2x4 foot ground protection mat supports loads of up to 120 tons, which, when coupled with its high traction surface, makes it ideal for heavy equipment. It is suitable for temporary bobcat or utility vehicle pathways, and can be installed over soft or sensitive ground areas.

These mats are suitable for long or short term projects, and they are made from 100 percent recycled high density polyethylene. They feature strategically positioned hand holes and also weigh around 21 pounds each, and with the smaller size, the mats can be easily moved and transported. They are also surfaced with rugged nubs which improves grip and forward motion of vehicles and reduces slippage, even in rough weather. The mats will also flex to follow the natural contours of the ground they are covering - even over slopes and ridges. As in all of the flooring and mat products at Greatmats, these are designed with safety, durability, and quality in mind.

Portable Outdoor Tiles

Now, if you simply need a temporary walkway, there are significantly lighter options that connect together with the tap of a foot.
