Where we host I have a 90 site loop that is almost all grass, more than half of those are totally grass, no gravel or other pads for the rig, put it where you want on the grass.
I cut that grass and have not had any issues with the use of mats killing it. Worst case is a large yellowed spot if someone was there for a week or max 14 days. In those cases it all comes back in 2 or 3 days. Nothing to lose sleep over.
If the grass is in excellent health, maybe a day or two of mat won't hurt it, but what happens when you have 4 or 5 people in a short time put out a mat for a few days each time? Dead grass.
