How to Protect a Lawn When Using a Mini Digger

Worried a mini digger will wreck your lawn getting to the work area? With a bit of preparation you can keep the damage to almost nothing.

Protecting the ground

• Choose the lightest machine that can still do the job — a micro digger spreads less load.
• Lay ground protection mats, scaffold boards or ply along your route and pivot points.
• Work when the ground is firm — wet, soft lawns rut far more easily.
• Plan one tidy route in and out rather than tracking back and forth.
• Slew and turn gently; sharp track turns tear turf.
