I've often asked landscapers to use similar product to protect tree roots by avoiding hard surface excavation or allowing water / air exchange by a porous surface, but I never installed it my self.
Plastic cell paving grids for turf or gravel surface that allows light vehicle traffic over areas that may be often be used or damp to lessen rutting bogging or un sightly wear n tear.

I got hold of some spare leftovers to a yard track to my wood pile that during winter gets wet and often impassable with bogging or wheel rutting. I just laid em out clipped em together and then carefuly drove over them.
Voilà worked a treat just pressed into the damp turf. The grass will easy recover & grow though. Looks ok natural while the surface now has the strength to hold the 4x4 and not rut n wreck as I pass over.

Not the product I had but eg of similar Grass Paver | Plastic Paving Grid | Car Park Reinforcement | Driveway

Too wet to drive over the section stays soft n damp for weeks. There are many styles n ideas in celluar sub surface reinforcement this lot was free so I gave it a go, n happy with results.
In past I have use wire mesh or Cyclone fence wire laid down while moving equipment over soft boggy surface, it works as a quick fix
