Showing 1 - 6 of 6 products

Make lawns, parks and outdoor spaces easier to reach for wheelchair users, pushchairs, walking frames and mobility scooters. Rubber grass mats and rolls create a firm, level, non-slip route across grass without hard landscaping, and the grass grows through so the path blends in. Used in care homes, hospices, schools, cemeteries, parks, gardens and at events where a route needs to be accessible in all weathers.

Which product do I need?

Rubber grass mat rolls: 1m x 10.5m of 23mm matting in one continuous piece, so longer paths have fewer joins to catch a castor.
Rubber grass mats: 1m x 1.5m mats to build a path of any length or width, tied together with cable ties; choose 23mm for the firmest ride under a loaded chair.
Interlocking rubber grass mats: 0.91m square mats that click together for short, narrow garden paths with a seamless surface.
Green rubber grass mats: the greener finish for gardens, memorial areas and care home grounds.
Rubber grass protection mats: restore a worn route that has become bumpy and muddy.
Hi-vis walkway matting: temporary, clearly marked accessible routes for events and open days.

What makes a grass path wheelchair friendly

Width, firmness and level joins. Lay the mats at least 1m wide, and 1.2m or more where people need to pass; join them edge to edge so there is no lip; and peg every corner so nothing lifts. 23mm mats flex less under a loaded chair than 16mm. On slopes, lay from the top down and peg each mat. Once the grass is through, the surface feels like firm turf rather than a mat.

Laying tips

Mow the grass short before laying, so the path sits flat.
Keep joins tight and tie neighbouring mats together so edges cannot lift.
Lay mats or rolls side by side for a wider path where people need to pass.
Trim with a knife to fit around benches, posts and memorials rather than leaving a gap.
