Rubber Grass Mats

Rubber grass mats built to handle the toughest conditions — 100% recycled rubber, available in 16mm and 23mm thickness, cut to 1.0m x 1.5m. Protect your lawn, driveway, pathway or garden from vehicle traffic, foot traffic and erosion — no groundwork required.

Each mat covers 1.5m² and links to the next with pegs and ties, so you can protect anything from a single muddy gateway to a full overflow car park. The open honeycomb lets grass grow up through the mat and rainwater drain straight down, so the surface stays green, firm and mud-free all year round.

Why Choose Our Rubber Grass Mats?

• Heavy-duty protection: Withstands car, van and light vehicle traffic without crushing or displacing. Ideal for grass driveways, overflow parking, pathways and high-footfall garden areas.
• 100% recycled rubber: Manufactured from post-consumer recycled rubber — no virgin materials used. Durable, sustainable and built to last outdoors in all UK weather conditions.
• Grass grows through: Open-hole design (25mm holes) allows grass to grow upward and remain healthy, blending seamlessly into the lawn for a natural look.
• Simple installation — no groundwork: Lay directly onto existing grass or prepared ground. Secure using optional anchor pegs and ties. Covers an area of 1.5m² per mat — connect multiple mats for larger coverage.
• Protects soil from erosion: Stabilises the ground surface on slopes, banks and high-traffic areas. Prevents ruts, mud and compaction.
• Wheelchair and mobility friendly: Firm, stable surface suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs and mobility aids — ideal around accessible gardens, care homes and public spaces.
• Non-slip, all-weather surface: Textured rubber provides grip underfoot and under wheel in wet, icy and muddy conditions.

Where rubber grass mats are used

What surfaces can I lay rubber grass mats on?

Existing grass is the ideal base: lay the mats straight onto the lawn, peg them down and the grass grows through within a few weeks. They also work on compacted soil, gravel, hardcore, concrete and tarmac, where they add grip and cushioning rather than grass cover. On banks and slopes, start at the top and peg every mat so the run cannot creep downhill.

Cutting, shaping and edges

Trim mats with a sharp utility knife or jigsaw, cutting along the web between the holes, to fit around posts, trees, kerbs and drain covers. Cut edges do not fray or unravel. For a neat finish on a path or play area, keep the outer edge pegged at every corner so nothing lifts.

Lifespan and maintenance

Recycled rubber does not rot and is unaffected by frost, rain and sunlight, so the mats stay flexible and in one piece season after season. Once the grass is through, mow straight over the mats with the blade set above the mat surface. Mud washes off with a hose or stiff brush, and individual mats can be lifted and relaid if you ever change the layout.

Rubber grass mats or grass protection mesh?

Rubber mats give instant, cushioned protection and absorb impact, which makes them the right choice for play areas, gateways, paths and anywhere the ground is already wearing. Grass protection mesh is a lighter plastic roll that reinforces healthy turf over large areas such as fields, overflow car parks and caravan pitches. Many customers use both: mats at the gate and pinch points, mesh across the open ground. Call us if you are not sure which suits your site.
