Both mats are 1m × 1.5m and made from the same recycled rubber. The difference is how much weight and wear they are built to take. If in doubt, choose 23mm.

Grass mat questions, answered
Straight answers from the people who supply them every day.
Still not sure?
Tell us about your project and we'll recommend the right mat and quantity.
01282 270214How many grass mats do I need?
Each mat is 1m × 1.5m, so it covers 1.5m². Multiply the length by the width of your area in metres, divide by 1.5 and round up. The calculator at the top of this page does it for you.
Should I choose 16mm or 23mm?
16mm suits lawns, garden paths and foot traffic. 23mm is our heavy-duty mat for driveways, car parks, playgrounds and horse gateways. If you're not sure, choose 23mm.
How long does it take for the grass to grow through?
In the growing season (spring to early autumn) grass usually starts to come through within a few weeks. It grows more slowly in winter. Water the area during dry spells.
Do I need pegs and ties?
We recommend them. Pegs anchor each mat to the ground and cable ties join neighbouring mats so they can't shift or lift. Choose the pegs & ties option when you order.
Can I mow over rubber grass mats?
Yes. Once the grass has grown through, mow as normal with the blades set a little higher than usual.
Can I drive and park on them?
Yes. Choose 23mm for driveways, overflow car parks and field access. The mats stop wheels rutting the ground and protect the grass roots.
Are they suitable for playgrounds?
Our playground grass mats are tested to BS EN 1177. The right thickness depends on the fall height of your play equipment, so tell us what you're installing and we'll advise before you order.
Is delivery free, and how fast is it?
Yes. UK delivery is free on every order, with no minimum spend. Orders are dispatched within 1 working day.
Can I return my mats?
Yes. You have 14 days to return or exchange your order. See our returns policy for details.
