Our grass protection mats support sustainable construction
The use of grass protection mats aligns with the emergence of sustainable construction practices, in the UK. At Davis Trackhire we are confident that our high-density polyethylene (HDPE) ground protection helps to minimize disturbances to ecosystems, prevents soil compaction, and contributes to overall environmental preservation.
Maintaining our countries aesthetic landscapes is crucial, as it encourages others to preserve and look after their surroundings too. Maintainance has a knock-on effect. Our HDPE parking mats for grass allow projects to proceed without causing lasting damage to lawns, parks, or recreational areas.

Grass protection mats are often written into contracts
Ground protection is not always a direct legal requirement; however, the use of ground mats is often written into contracts, and made mandatory by the council, included in health and safety policies, insurance terms and conditions, agricultural group or construction company guidelines plus many more…
Most roadside or highway maintenance companies require the use of parking mats for grass whilst carrying out works. This is to prevent the disturbance and destruction of the surrounding soft ground, and to avoid its dispersion into the road causing accidents.

The implications of not using grass protection mats
Not using grass car parking mats, where they are required can result in a myriad of costly fines, civil court cases, and punishments. In some circumstances, legal cases. If someone has a direct injury from lack of improper grass protection this could cause the filing of a personal injury, negligence or criminal damage case.
That’s why we are on hand to advise where we believe grass protection mats are required on your site, which type of mat will be best for the ground, how many are required, and what accessories are needed.
Ourdoor events and grass protection mats
Where works are being completed or an event is being hosted on listed grounds, temporary grass protection mats should always be used. Listed grounds require the utmost protection, to support the preservation and respect of our land and heritage. Significant fines and punishments can arise for damage to listed grounds where trackmats for heavy equipment or high footfall are not used.
In fact, councils explicitly hold the right to fine construction companies or event organisers for any damage caused to the ground and trees as a result of the works or event. They also have the right to cancel or postpone events that have not properly prepared or thoroughly planned ground protection into their proposals.
An example of this is Splendour Festival in Nottingham, hosted on Wollaton Hall & Deer Park which is a grade ll listed building alongside other properties on the land. In May 2023, Nottingham City Council initiated a new and stricter festival organisation process for Wollaton Park, which caused the 2024 festival to be cancelled. Although grass car parking mats and overflow car park matting, are just one aspect of their tighter requirements, it just shows that, ground protection plays a vital role in gaining approval and meeting outdoor event criteria.
