Heavy Duty Rubber Grass Mats
Grass Matting for Playground Safety Surface
The heavy duty grass mats are placed over existing grass areas. The holes in the grass matting allow water to pass straight through the mats and into the ground allowing excellent drainage. It is a very cost effective safety surface system. Heavy duty grass mats are an excellent product to use where retaining a natural environment and eco theme are important, such as schools, parks, and forest parks.
The grass matting becomes invisible after 5 or 6 weeks of grass growth as the grass grows up through it. See the Case study below. This entire playground is protected with heavy duty rubber grass matting.

- Relatively low cost compared to other types of safety surface.
- Very little ground preparation required. Heavy duty rubber grass matting can simply be laid on top of short or freshly cut grass. Any hollows can be simply filled in with a top soil & reseeded. Most other safety surface systems require substantial excavation and base preparation prior to installation of the safety surface.
- Heavy duty rubber safety grass matting can be installed by volunteers with little skill or expertise required. This makes this safety surface system the perfect choice for schools or community projects that can organise a volunteer workforce.
How does the Grass Matting Safety Surface work?
The Grass Matting when installed over a grassed area (with a minimum of 200mm of topsoil) has an
exceptionally high safety rating, up to 3m critical fall height. This is because the impact value is the combined impact absorption of the rubber matting and the top soil / sod below the rubber matting. For school playgrounds, public playgrounds and parks we always recommend using a high strength stabilisation ground re-enforcement mesh between the matting and the sod/topsoil as it distributes the load more evenly, particularly in wet areas or areas with heavy foot traffic.
