Keep your grass.
Give it backbone.

A natural lawn has a lot to handle. Reinforce the places that work hardest, with TR4 for dogs and backyards or GR11 for cars, parking and tougher traffic.

GR11 · 11mm standard grade

Match the mesh to the load.

The supplier catalogue gives GR11 an approximate load tolerance of 6 tonnes per axle. That is an axle load, rather than a total vehicle weight.

~6tonnesper axle · Approximate guideSupplier catalogue · 2024

The same catalogue lists GR14 at approximately 8 tonnes per axle. Ground conditions, fixing, grass establishment and traffic frequency matter. Ask us to confirm the grade for heavier vehicles or frequent traffic.

Two meshes. Two clear jobs.

Start with the traffic your grass needs to handle. Then choose the roll size and the right installation for your site.

Black TR4 mesh roll laid out on grass
TR4 · Dogs & backyards

Back your backyard.

A practical reinforcement layer for dog runs, well-used backyard areas and pedestrian routes. The open black mesh lets grass grow through while adding support where everyday traffic wears it down.

660 g/m² · 24mm aperture · Black · Recycled, UV-stabilised HDPE

Choose TR4 for everyday backyard wear. Ask us about persistent digging, waterlogging or poor grass growth so the underlying problem is addressed too.

Green GR11 mesh roll laid out on grass
GR11 · Cars & tougher traffic

Keep parking on the grass.

A thicker green reinforcement mesh for grass parking, driveways, vehicle routes and areas that need more support against wear and rutting. Match the mesh, ground conditions and installation to the traffic.

11mm thick · 1,200 g/m² · Green · Polyethylene mesh

For cars, boats, caravans and vehicle use, tell us about the load, frequency and ground conditions before choosing your setup.

The GR11 how-to · At Turfmate

Four steps to a tougher patch.

Our GR11 installation, photographed at Turfmate. Start with a mown, reasonably level, well-drained lawn. These four steps show the process; use the pinning guide for the fixing detail.

  1. Green reinforcement mesh rolled out across the lawn near the Turfmate gate.

    1. Roll it out.

    Lay the mesh over the prepared lawn and let the roll relax so it sits close to the grass. Plan the layout and use the guide for edges and joins.

  2. The GR11 mesh secured on the lawn, with a child holding a fixing pin beside the Turfmate shed.

    2. Pin it down.

    Secure the mesh with U-shaped pins, following the pinning guide. Keep fixings flush with or below the mesh profile and check the edges and joins.

  3. Light topdressing being spread over low spots in the mesh installation at Turfmate.

    3. Lightly topdress.

    Use a light topdress to level shallow low spots and help the mesh sit close to the lawn. Prepare deeper depressions or drainage problems before installing.

  4. The topdressed grass reinforcement area beside the Turfmate shed, with a child and dog nearby.

    4. Let it grow through.

    Brush in the topdress and let the grass knit into the mesh before the planned vehicle use. Inspect fixings and keep exposed mesh and pins clear of mower blades.

Don’t forget the fixings.

Steel U-shaped pins are sold separately in packs of 50. The GR11 pinning guide suggests 50 pins for a 1m × 10m roll and at least 200 for a 2m × 20m roll. Confirm quantities for your layout and TR4 installation with us.

Roll coverage is nominal: allow for your layout, joins and trimming. For example, a 4m × 10m rectangle is 40 m² before those allowances.

A few things your mate should know.

Which mesh should I use for a dog run?

Start with TR4 for dog runs, backyard routes and everyday foot traffic. Tell us about digging, shade, drainage and the condition of the grass so we can check that mesh is the right next step.

Can I park my car on it?

GR11 is the starting point for grass parking and vehicle traffic. Suitability depends on the ground, vehicle load, frequency of use and installation. Email us a few photos and the details before choosing a vehicle setup.

Will the natural grass keep growing?

The open mesh allows natural grass to grow through and become part of the reinforced surface. Grass still needs enough light, water and routine care; mesh does not replace healthy soil or suitable drainage.

Are the pins included?

No. Pins are sold separately. Use the pinning guide and discuss your roll layout with us to work out the right fixing quantity.

How do I choose the right roll size?

Measure length × width for square metres, then sketch the roll layout. Allow for joins and trimming rather than choosing only by total area. Send the dimensions and photos if you would like a hand.
