Ground Guards

Benefits of Ground Guards

Ground guards offer many benefits over traditional paving methods, such as:

• Stabilize Gravel and Soil - Ground guards create a solid reinforced base to prevent gravel, soil, and grass erosion from vehicle and foot traffic.
• Allow Drainage - The open structure and gravel/grass fill allow rainwater drainage to prevent flooding and runoff. This is a sustainable stormwater management system.
• Withstand Heavy Loads - Our commercial-grade ground guards can withstand heavy vehicle loads of up to 60 tonnes for parking and access roads.
• Quick & Easy Installation - Interlocking ground guard tiles allow for simple on-site installation. No noisy or disruptive construction is required.
• Versatile Applications - Use for driveways, parking areas, walkways, shed bases, equestrian areas, and more.
