The Professional Difference in Landscaping
Landscaping projects are about transforming spaces—and that includes keeping the property pristine while you work. Clients expect their lawns, walkways, and driveways to look just as good after the project as they did before. Unfortunately, traditional plywood “protection” methods often do the opposite—leaving behind deep ruts, splinters, and stains that ruin your hard work.
That’s why more professionals are switching to BAM! Ground Protection Mats—the modern solution that safeguards both the ground and your reputation.
Why Plywood Fails the Professional Test
At first glance, plywood seems like an easy option: cheap, available, and quick to throw down. But once the project starts, the problems begin:
- Warping and rot: A single rainstorm can ruin sheets, leaving them soggy and unstable.
- Splinters and breakage: Damaged plywood not only looks bad but creates safety hazards.
- Turf damage: Thin boards shift under weight, grinding into the soil or tearing sod.
- Unprofessional appearance: Warped, muddy sheets send the wrong message to homeowners and clients.
In a business where appearance matters as much as performance, plywood simply doesn’t measure up.
How BAM! Mats Protect Lawns—and Your Image
BAM! landscaping mats are made from 3/8-inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE)—a tough, moisture-resistant material that doesn’t absorb water or crack under pressure. Each 4×8 mat weighs only 56 lbs, making it easy for crews to move without heavy machinery.
Once in place, BAM! mats distribute weight evenly to prevent rutting or soil compression. Their dual-sided tread pattern grips both tires and shoes, ensuring safe movement across wet or uneven terrain.
And the Hi-Vis Safety Green color adds a polished, professional look that instantly elevates your jobsite—no more mismatched or mud-stained plywood boards. When clients see BAM! mats protecting their lawn, they know they’ve hired a pro.
Applications That Showcase Professionalism
- Residential landscaping: Move skid steers, wheelbarrows, and trucks without leaving tire marks or broken grass.
- Commercial grounds: Protect pavers, courtyards, and walkways from delivery vehicles and equipment.
- Hardscape installations: Create temporary paths for heavy materials without churning up soil.
- Tree and plant services: Preserve lawns and root zones when operating lifts or chippers.
In every setting, BAM! mats let you work efficiently while maintaining the property’s pristine appearance—keeping both your clients and your crews happy.
Long-Term Value Beyond the Jobsite
A stack of plywood sheets might seem cheap until you add up replacement costs, clean-up time, and lost referrals from disappointed customers. BAM! mats pay for themselves after just a few jobs by cutting downtime, avoiding damage, and reinforcing your professional image.
They’re reusable for years, easy to clean, and stack neatly in storage—always ready for the next project.
A Better Look for Better Business
Your work speaks for itself—but your jobsite tells a story, too. Showing up with warped plywood sends one message; arriving with clean, uniform BAM! mats sends another: This crew cares about quality.
When lawns stay lush and driveways remain spotless, you don’t just complete a job—you win repeat business.
