Safety Matta is the Original Grass interlocking safety tile surface for Playgrounds allowing the natural grass to grow through the ‘Natural Green’ tiles to blend the product seamlessly into the environment. |
The grass should be mowed on a regular basis using a conventional rotary petrol mower or similar, a strimmer may be required to reach into inaccessible places or around posts. |

Mats “letting go” and seams splitting – Contact Matta Products (UK) at the first sign of a problem as failure to remedy this at an early stage can result in compounding problems. |
Arson – Unless a substantial fire has been started it is likely that the surface will only be scorched. Matta Products can replace damaged tiles for a small charge. |
Edges becoming uncovered – Recover the edges with some fresh top soil and apply some grass seed. |
Dipping Tiles – Areas of heavy use may show signs of dipping and result in compaction of the soil. Decompact the ground by working a fork or a hand held aerator in the compacted areas. It may also be possible to lift the tiles about 50mm without breaking the seams whilst at the same time sieving some fresh top soil through the tiles and then applying some grass seed. This will help to relevel any dipped areas. |
