Reinforcing Lawns and Car Parks with Grass Protecta for Hotels, Estates, and Airports

Why Reinforced Lawns Are Important

Lawns at hotels, country estates, and airports face constant foot traffic, vehicle movement, and events, which can:

• Cause bare patches and soil compaction

• Create muddy and uneven surfaces

• Reduce aesthetics and usability

• Increase long-term maintenance costs

Grass Protecta provides:

• Durable turf protection

• Minimal soil compaction

• Green and natural appearance

• Sustainable reinforcement suitable for UK conditions

It is ideal for hotels, estates, airports, and landscaped properties, where maintaining both durability and aesthetics is essential.

Step 1: Planning Your Grass Protecta Project

• Survey the area: Measure lawns, pathways, and car park spaces

• Determine traffic type: Foot traffic, light vehicles, or occasional events

• Select mat type: Choose Grass Protecta suitable for the expected use

• Plan layout: Map areas that need reinforcement and entry/exit points

Tip: Prioritise high-traffic areas like entrances, driveways, and pathways for reinforcement.

Step 2: Preparing the Ground

• Mow the grass to a suitable height

• Clear debris including stones, leaves, and loose soil

• Level uneven areas for flush mat installation

• Water lightly to help mats sit evenly

Step 3: Installing Grass Protecta Mats

1. Lay mats across the designated areas

2. Connect interlocking sections for continuous coverage

3. Secure edges using spikes or pins

4. Fill mats with topsoil and sow grass seed if needed

5. Water thoroughly to aid grass establishment

Pro Tip: Ensure mats are flush with surrounding turf to maintain a safe and natural look.

Step 4: Maintaining Reinforced Lawns

• Water regularly until grass is fully established

• Mow as usual once grass grows through mats

• Inspect mats after heavy use or seasonal weather

• Weed control: Remove weeds growing through mats
