Choose 3×8 for restricted access
The 3×8 mat covers 24 square feet and works well through gates, along side yards, between landscape features, and anywhere crew handling and placement matter. Pricing is $165 under 12, $145 for 12–23, and $130 for 24 or more.
Choose 4×8 for coverage
The 4×8 mat covers 32 square feet—one-third more than a 3×8 mat. It is often the better choice for primary access lanes, broader turns, equipment staging, and work zones. Pricing is $195 under 12, $180 for 12–23, and $160 for 24 or more.
Why many contractors use both
A mixed system lets the crew create broader primary lanes with 4×8 mats and handle tight gates, transitions, and changing route widths with 3×8 mats.
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm the equipment travel width
- Measure the complete route
- Allow additional mats for every turn and staging zone
Field-based recommendation: Map the full route before ordering, then add a reasonable quantity for staging and layout changes.
