ABSTRACT:
An irrigation head support includes a circular mat formed by a plurality of concentric circular ribs connected by a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially extending ribs. Interstitial spaces formed between the intersecting ribs allow passage of plant roots through the mat to stabilize the mat in a selected position, just buried beneath the ground surface. A central circular aperture in the mat is dimensioned for reception of an irrigation head. A plurality of arcuate upstanding struts are spaced circumferentially about the periphery of the circular mat and have a vertical extent above the mat equal to the vertical extent of the support ribs above the mat. In use, the mat is placed around an irrigation head and covered with a filler material such as earth or sod. Grass roots subsequently grow through the interstitial spaces in the mat to secure the mat permanently in place. The irrigation head support prevents damage to the irrigation head from vehicle tires and also prevents erosion of the soil surrounding the irrigation head.
