Why use concrete or stone? Mudcontrol Ltd have a proven solution – an ecologically sound product which can be moved and re-used, or left in place for decades.
Mudcontrol Ltd was established in the UK in 2018, supplying high quality, durable, 100% recycled plastic products, made from drinks bottles, plastic bags and so on, a solid, heavy-duty Playground Certified material, with a 20 year manufacturer's warranty.
The small, dedicated team of Kerry and James at Mudcontrol will help you find a solution to your ground issues with game-changing Mudcontrol slabs. They concentrate on providing great customer service as well as excellent quality products, with no minimum order and speedy delivery to anywhere in the UK. They offer a quick, rock-solid, DIY solution, for anywhere you have a mud problem. No machinery or preparation is usually required, so you can solve your issues almost instantly.
Each slab measures 50cm x 50cm x 5.3cm and weighs 7kg (one stone).
They interlink securely to support one another and are designed to work as the sub-base and base in one, laid straight onto the mud/soil/grass, (just remove any stones or lumps beforehand so that the slabs can lie flat.)
Then fill in the holes (5cm diameter) and top the slabs generously with sand, wood chip or animal bedding) if the area is for animal use.
The slabs provide a stable, self-supporting, free-draining surface, and they won’t flex and sink, even on heavy clay. Grass will grow up through the holes, and can be mown, grazed or left (or you can lay them on terram if you want to discourage vegetation), and they are rated to over 60 tonnes, so absolutely fine for farm traffic.
Using traditional methods such as stone and concrete often involves significant time, labour, machinery and materials expenditure, and in the case of stone or road planings, on certain ground types they may only last
For further information or to discuss your requirements: for a year or two before more work and materials are needed. Plus, once the money is spent, it is gone forever, whereas Mudcontrol slabs have a high resale value.
To create a 6m x 6m pad of concrete 30cm deep takes approximately 11 cubic metres of concrete, which can cost over £1,200 for the concrete alone. The groundworks and preparation would be a significant extra cost, whereas our product is far cheaper, faster to install, and ecologically sound. These are also ideal for people on rented ground as you are able to take your investment with you if you move.
Mudcontrol slabs are strong and solid enough to be moved and re-laid, added to, or left in place for decades without losing your investment. Think of them as an indispensable piece of equipment, one that retains its value and is guaranteed for 20 years. Best of all, you can do the job yourself, no need for contractors or heavy groundworks.
Used on any soil type to create solid gateways, pathways, tracks, roads, loafing areas, feed areas, 'pony patios', parking or storage areas, quickly and easily with minimal mess and disturbance, Mudcontrol slabs are quite simply the proven solution. Customers are the best salespeople, this can be seen in countless positive customer testimonials.
While specialising in the revolutionary Mudcontrol slabs, a 100% recycled plastic fencing and associated products are also available from the same manufacturer, helping to make your yards, paddocks and other areas safe and secure for years to come. These products are solid and heavy-duty and can be installed (by machine or by hand) and used just like wood, but are the no-rot solution we have all been waiting for.
