Mud Management by RAMM, Box of 2

Mud management by RAMM is a [waffle-like] cellular confinement system that is made to eliminate mud. The panels limit the displacement of gravel from the downward action of any other erosive forces caused by extreme weather, high-traffic areas, and more. They work well in many different environments, whether it be agricultural (from high-end professional facilities to a modest home ranch), commercial, industrial, or recreational. All of the deep mud in high-traffic pathways and gated entryways can be eliminated and forgotten... set it, fill it, forget it! *As seen on The Martha Stewart Blog

RAMM's flexible high-density polyethylene (virgin HDPE resin) panels are environmentally-safe, cover 85 square feet, and confine gravel in a series of 3" deep interconnecting cells. Because the interconnecting cells have a double-welded seam and are not made of hard plastic, they conform to uneven/oddly shaped areas and to sub-base land grades. This allows you to work with existing terrain or to the crown or slope areas for better drainage, thus reducing the time and money spent on sub-grade preparation. There's no need to excavate or create a compacted gravel layer underneath. You can install it on steep slopes, around trees, over roots, through shallow ditches, on lumpy ground, and even over any existing muddy ground! Having mud on your property is a risk and in the long run, will cost you money.

Installation: Mud Management Installation Guide

*Application is easy and does not require leveling your muddy area first. A paper version of the installation guide is available by request; the QR code on the box takes you to the digital installation guide. 

Choose an outdoor permeable barrier, such as a landscape underlayment, to lay on the muddy area. Spread the panel out and stake into the ground. Allowing time for the panel to soak in the sun will make it so the panel stays open easier, however, it's not necessary. It will appear wider before it is fully opened; there's no need to over-stretch the panel. If you're installing more than one panel, use the included connecting ties to attach two panels together.  

Then fill your mud management panels with a mix of crushed stone and a top fill of choice, such as sand or topsoil. If you ask your local stone supplier what will work best for your muddy area(s), they should be able to help you select stones that will work best for your property.
