GreenskeeperMax Safe Woodland Walkway
GreenskeeperMAX in Action: Building a Safe Access Route Through Woodland Terrain
A practical example of using GreensKeeperMAX mats to provide stable, non-slip access on natural terrain.
Creating safe and stable access across natural ground can be challenging - particularly in woodland or soft soil environments where the terrain is uneven and conditions change quickly. Whether you’re moving personnel, equipment, or materials, the risk of slips, ground damage or erosion is always a concern.
That’s where GreenskeeperMAX Rubber Grass Mats come into their own - providing a robust, non-slip, and environmentally responsible solution for creating walkways and access routes without permanent ground disturbance.
A Safe Pathway Through Woodland Terrain
In this example, our customer used GreenskeeperMAX to form a clearly defined route through a woodland area leading to an outdoor work site. The goal was to create a secure, anti-slip surface for workers and light equipment, while maintaining the site’s natural setting and minimising environmental impact.
The mats were laid in both straight runs and sweeping corners, demonstrating the product’s flexibility and strength. Once connected and pegged, the surface provided reliable traction underfoot, allowing teams to move safely through the area even in damp or uneven conditions.
The installation also showed how easily the mats can follow natural contours - perfect for temporary paths, access routes, or event walkways where layout changes are often required. Once the project was complete, the mats could be lifted, cleaned, and reused elsewhere, leaving minimal ground disturbance.
Why GreenskeeperMAX Works So Well Outdoors
Manufactured from natural and recycled rubber, GreenskeeperMAX combines durability with environmental responsibility. The moulded cellular structure allows grass to grow through the matting, securing it naturally to the ground over time and helping it blend discreetly into the landscape.
Key benefits include:
- Exceptional slip resistance for added safety on wet or uneven terrain
- Certified to EN1177:2018 - the 23mm GreenskeeperMax mat achieved a Critical Fall Height (CFH) of 2.3 metres on a grass base, confirming its proven ability to absorb impact and provide a safer walking surface in outdoor environments and playgrounds
- Water drainage through the open cell design, maintaining traction in all weather
- Flexible layout options with connectors and pegs for stability on site
- Sustainability - REACH compliant, and recyclable materials
- Practical maintenance - can be cleaned using cold water, vacuum, or pressure wash
These features make it ideal for construction sites, golf courses, parks, outdoor events, and natural access paths, where ground protection and user safety are equally important.
Flexible Sizes and Installation Options
GreenskeeperMAX mats are available in 1m x 1.5m mats in 16mm or 23mm thicknesses, as well as a 10.5m roll format in 23mm thickness for longer, continuous pathways. Connectors and pegs can be ordered separately to ensure a stable and consistent layout.
