Grass protection meshes - from top UK suppliers
Grass protection meshes give enough reinforcement for grassed areas which have relatively light or occasional useage. They are quick to install and allow rainwater to drain through at source. They are unrolled over a grass surface and pinned down, without the need for excavation, ground-works, soil removal or planning permission. Alternatively, they are laid on top of soil and seeded so that the grass knits with the mesh as it grows to provide more stability and strength.
