Rubber Grass Mats: The Ultimate Ground Protection Solution

Maintain a lush, green lawn all year round with our heavy-duty rubber grass mats. Designed to prevent soil compaction and eliminate muddy patches, these versatile grass mats are the perfect choice for high-traffic areas, playgrounds, and professional landscaping.

 

Why Choose Our Rubber Grass Mats?

Our RubbaGrass® mats are manufactured from 100% recycled rubber, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to permanent paving. Whether you are looking for grass protection mats for a domestic garden or industrial-grade surfacing for a public park, our range provides:

  • Year-Round Accessibility: Stop mud in its tracks. Our mats provide a stable, non-slip surface even in wet or icy conditions.
  • Natural Aesthetics: The open honeycomb structure allows grass to grow through the mat. Within weeks, the mat becomes virtually invisible, preserving the natural look of the lawn or grass area.
  • Certified Safety: Our 22mm mats are tested for a Critical Fall Height (CFH) of up to 3.3 metres, making them a leading safety choice for playgrounds and schools.
  • Zero Groundwork: Unlike concrete or tarmac, these mats require no digging. Simply lay them directly onto existing turf or soil.

Simple 4-Step Installation Guide

You don’t need specialist tools or professional installers to fit your grass mats.

  1. Preparation: Mow the grass short and remove any debris or large stones.
  2. Laying: Place your mats end-to-end across the area. They can be easily trimmed with heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife to fit curves.
  3. Securing: Use plastic fixing pegs (typically 5 per mat) to anchor them into the ground.
  4. Joining: Connect adjacent mats with cable ties every 150mm to prevent movement and tripping hazards.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I mow over RubbaGrass® rubber grass mats?

Yes. Once the grass has grown through, you can use a standard lawnmower. We recommend setting the blade to a slightly higher height to avoid catching the rubber edges.

Are these mats wheelchair friendly?

Absolutely. When correctly installed and pinned, they provide a firm, level surface suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs, and mobility scooters.

Do I need a base for the mats?

For most pedestrian applications, they can be laid directly onto grass. For very soft or boggy ground, we recommend laying a grass reinforcement mesh underneath for added stability.
