**What are rubber grass mats?**
Rubber grass mats are heavy-duty mats made from recycled rubber with an open-ring structure. They allow grass to grow through while stabilising the soil, preventing mud and providing a non-slip surface for pedestrians, horses and vehicles.
**Where can I use rubber grass mats?**
You can install them in gateways, paddocks, walkways, playgrounds, car parks, golf courses and any high-traffic area prone to wear and tear. They protect grass roots and provide safe ground reinforcement.
**How do they control mud and improve drainage?**
The holes in rubber grass mats let rainwater drain through and grass to grow back, preventing muddy puddles and soil erosion. Raised studs and textured surfaces also increase grip, reducing the risk of slips.
**Are rubber grass mats eco-friendly and safe?**
Yes. Our mats are made from recycled rubber and comply with safety standards. They are slip-resistant, UV-resistant and provide shock absorption for falls, making them ideal for children, horses and livestock.
**How do I install rubber grass mats?**
Installation is simple: prepare the ground, lay the mats with the open-ring pattern facing up, secure the edges with pegs or cable ties, then top dress with soil or seed. For a detailed guide, see our step-by-step installation article.
