From utility and heavy construction to landscaping and tree maintenance, ground protection mats are essential to protecting surfaces on spring job sites – whether it’s to provide a temporary roadway at a works site or to protect turf from damage in adverse weather conditions.

Creating easy access to and from project sites and a stable work area are critical concerns for many industries, including construction, landscaping, utilities and infrastructure. Ground conditions play a significant role, and the damp, muddy and uneven conditions caused by spring’s wet weather can result in projects being delayed or even halted.

With the arrival of spring, the sound of chirping birds is joined by the sounds of outdoor construction, landscaping and tree maintenance. Regardless of the size and scope of the work, there are countless reasons for protecting the ground beneath a project as well as the equipment used to complete it.

Whether you are a contractor, landscaper or arborist, you are responsible for ensuring that your clients’ property is not damaged by equipment and workers. If the job calls for heavy machinery, ground protection is crucial not only for preventing ruts in grass and turf but for keeping equipment from getting stuck in the mud.
