The Challenge: Public Safety and Grass Protection for a National Day of Honor

Each November, communities gather to honor the fallen on Veterans Day. At one public memorial site, a large turnout of veterans, officials, and community members was expected.

In the days leading up to the event, wet weather left the surrounding lawn soft and vulnerable to damage. Organizers needed a way to preserve the grass while ensuring the area stayed safe and accessible for the public, especially for those taking part in the parade and gathering near the monument.

The GroundGuards Solution: FastCover Walkway and Protection

To safeguard the memorial grounds, GroundGuards supplied FastCover ground protection mats. These durable, slip-resistant panels are designed for pedestrian access and light event use.

Installed quickly and efficiently by hand, FastCover created a clean, level surface for attendees to walk and stand on during the ceremony. The mats formed a defined platform over the grass, preventing trampling and mud build-up in high-foot-traffic areas around the memorial. Their interlocking design kept them securely in place throughout the event.

Results & Outcome: A Respectful Event on Protected Ground

The event ran smoothly, with FastCover providing the reliable protection needed without disrupting the ceremony’s atmosphere or access. Attendees stood on firm ground despite saturated conditions, and once the mats were removed, the lawn remained in excellent condition.

By choosing FastCover, the organizers ensured a respectful, safe, and damage-free setting for an important day of remembrance.
