Ground protection is the process of preventing damage or erosion to an existing ground surface, whether it be lawns, driveways, all-weather tracks or athletic fields. This is especially important if you use heavy machinery in finished commercial and residential areas. But it can also serve useful in agricultural areas where this heavy machinery may have trouble gaining traction or stability.
The best tool for all of these purposes is a ground protection mats.
Ground protection mats are designed to keep tires and tracks from tearing up the ground surface as well as offer traction in soft or muddy areas without breaking themselves.
The old style of ground protection mat was a 4x8 sheet of plywood, but plywood has a tendancy to warp, splinter, become waterlogged and eventually break apart - thus the creation of the plastic ground protection mat.
