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?

Ground protection mats stabilise soft or uneven ground to support vehicle and machinery access on construction sites. Ground protection mats prevent soil displacement, rutting, and subsurface compaction under tracked or wheeled equipment.

Ground protection mats maintain site integrity by distributing weight loads and complying with environmental protection standards. Ground protection mats reduce downtime caused by poor weather or restricted site conditions.

Ground protection mats enable year-round access and are reusable across multiple project phases.

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?

round protection mats in the UK cost £50 to £250 per mat or £10 to £40 per square metre, depending on type and usage. Ground protection mat prices vary by material composition, mat size, thickness, and load-bearing capacity.

Ground protection mats rated for heavy vehicles cost more than pedestrian-grade mats. Ground protection mats for hire are priced lower upfront but incur ongoing rental charges.

What Materials Are Ground Protection Mats Made From?

Ground protection mats are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which resists moisture, impact, and heavy loads.

Ground protection mats may also use recycled plastic composites for sustainable applications.

Ground protection mats designed for high-load sites use steel-reinforced or timber-core materials for structural strength.

Ground protection mats include UV-resistant coatings for long-term outdoor use.

Can Ground Protection Mats Be Used In All Weather Conditions?

Ground protection mats function in all weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, frost, and extreme temperatures.

Ground protection mats use UV-stable and frost-resistant polymers to prevent material degradation on exposed sites.

Ground protection mats maintain load-bearing performance in wet and unstable terrain, supporting heavy plant and vehicle access without ground failure.

Ground protection mats include anti-slip textures to improve traction for tracked and wheeled machinery during adverse weather.

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?

Installing ground protection mats on construction sites involves ground condition assessment, load rating analysis, and mat layout planning.

Ground protection mats are positioned to support vehicle movement and distribute weight across unstable or soft terrain. Mats are secured using steel connectors or integrated locking systems to prevent shifting under heavy loads.

Installation requires mechanical lifting equipment or manual handling crews, depending on mat weight and site access. Ground protection mats can be extended, repositioned, or removed to meet changing site logistics.
