   In the process of urban planning and development, green lawns are dotted in every corner of the city. They not only beautify the environment and provide citizens with a comfortable leisure space, but also play an important role in regulating the urban environment. However, lawns are often fragile and easily damaged when facing daily use and various construction activities. At this time, ground protection mats, as the “green guardian” of urban lawns, quietly appear and play an indispensable role. ​

   Principle: Disperse pressure and reduce trampling​

   In places with frequent human activities such as parks and squares, the pressure of a large number of pedestrians on the lawn cannot be underestimated. Traditional ground materials cannot effectively protect the lawn in this case.

   In some venues for outdoor activities, such as music festivals and outdoor exhibitions, a large number of people will gather in a short period of time. In the past, after these activities, the lawns in the venues were often devastated. But after using ground protection mats, the situation has been greatly improved. Take a large music festival held in a city park as an example. The organizer of the event laid polyethylene ground protection mats in advance in the area where the crowd was expected to gather. During the event, tens of thousands of people were active in the area where the ground protection mats were laid. After the event, the staff removed the ground protection mats and were surprised to find that the lawn below was still in a relatively intact state, with only slight traces. After a period of maintenance, it quickly recovered.​

   Advantages: environmentally friendly and durable, easy to install​

   In terms of installation convenience, taking PE ground protection mats as an example, it is light and can be easily carried by two people without the need for expensive and complex cranes and other large lifting equipment. This feature is particularly important in gardens with complex terrain and limited space, greatly reducing the difficulty of construction and labor costs. The installation process is also extremely convenient. Construction workers can quickly splice it into a temporary road or work platform to open up a smooth passage for construction vehicles and equipment, avoiding vehicle stuck and traffic difficulties caused by muddy and uneven terrain, greatly improving construction efficiency, and allowing garden projects to proceed smoothly as planned.​

   Significance: Protecting Green and Improving Urban Quality​

   When citizens stroll in parks and squares and see lush lawns, their mood will also be happy. ​

   With its unique functions and advantages, ground protection mats play a key role in protecting urban lawns. It not only solves the problem that lawns are easily damaged when facing personnel activities and construction, but also provides strong support for the city’s green development and ecological construction. With the continuous advancement of urban construction, I believe that ground protection mats, as the “green guardian” of urban lawns, will be used in more fields, bringing more green and beauty to our cities. ​
