We recently carried out an experiment where six different types of lawn protection mats were laid out on the grass for 10 days straight. The average temperature during this time was 83 degrees.
The result was definite and conclusive and shows just how important having the right color of matting can be in keeping your lawn alive.
After only two days in position mats, 4 and 6 were showing heavy grass damage. By the end of the ten-day test period, the grass is permanently damaged and dead, it will need re-seeding.
The lighter-colored mats (1-3) were showing damage at the ten-day point, but nothing that won&#;t recover within a month.
The transparent mat was the clear victor here when it comes to grass preservation. It was in place for the full 10 days and shows little signs of stress.
This simple test shows just how important it is to get the right color of mat to protect your lawn. The clear mat is available at no extra cost as part of the Alturnamat range. The black matting is great on non-grass surfaces but will result in heavy lawn repair costs if used for longer periods of time or in hotter climates.
If you have any questions about any of the above products then please contact us toll-free at (800) 671-, our sales team will be happy to assist you in getting the best product for your needs.

Whether you are looking for temporary access for heavy-duty vehicles in industrial worksites or need to protect yards from being damaged by equipment, Checkers has ground mating solutions that are suitable for use in construction, landscaping, oil and gas, utilities, and civil engineering.
Not only does ground protection mating keep vehicles and personnel safe in rugged environments, matting also helps to prevent heavy equipment from damaging agricultural land, heritage sites, and delicate ecosystems.
