What an artificial boxwood mat is
An artificial boxwood mat is a flexible 20 × 20-inch panel of boxwood-style foliage on an interlocking backing, used to tile a fence, wall, frame, column, or display surface. Panels are supplied 12 per case, and a full case covers approximately 33.3 square feet of theoretical face area before cuts, overlaps, openings, and layout allowance. Two separate products carry that format: a standard UV-stabilized medium-green mat, and a fire-documented mat whose NFPA 701 Method 2 report can be submitted for venue or authority-having-jurisdiction review. Mats ship nationwide; California installation is handled by Califauxscapes.

Calculate full cases
Enter the wall. The panels tile from the bottom-left corner, and the count rounds up to full cases.
Use this as a planning estimate. Geranium Street confirms the order quantity after reviewing dimensions, openings, attachment method, cuts, pattern direction, and the exact mat selected. For a standalone tool that also estimates a material-cost band, use the artificial hedge coverage and cost calculator.

Shared specs, and what varies by product
Both mats share the same panel format. Pricing, availability, and fire documentation depend on which product you choose; that is what the quote confirms.

| Question | Boxwood mat | Foliage roll |
|---|---|---|
| Format | 20 × 20-inch interlocking panels, 12 per case | Continuous foliage on a flexible backing |
| Starting material rate, UV-stabilized | $6 per sq ft | $12 per sq ft |
| Starting material rate, with fire documentation | From $8 per sq ft for the separate fire-documented mat; other fire-rated foliage mats start higher | $15 per sq ft for the UV and fire-documented roll |
| Where it fits best | Surfaces with cuts, curves, columns, openings, or case-based ordering | Longer continuous runs where fewer panel joints matter |
| How quantity is planned | Full cases of about 33.3 sq ft, plus layout allowance | Square footage of the run, confirmed against the roll size quoted |
Geranium Street also supplies foliage rolls: continuous foliage on a flexible backing for larger runs. Both formats start from published per-square-foot material rates, before delivery and installation, and every project is confirmed in a written quote. Roll widths, lengths, and foliage options are confirmed for the selected product.
Estimate either format from your wall dimensions with the artificial hedge coverage and cost calculator, or count full mat cases with the mat layout calculator above.
Additional mat styles
The dragon-style variant is available as a separate product page.

Compare hedge systems
Exact panel dimensions, case quantity, documentation, availability, and pricing must be confirmed for the selected SKU. If a flexible mat is not the right format, compare the rigid and framed artificial hedge panels instead.
Measure the surface, then identify the substrate
Panel quantity is only one part of the scope. The existing fence, wall, frame, access conditions, edge treatment, wind exposure, and attachment spacing determine the installation plan.

Before requesting pricing
What is a boxwood mat used for?
A boxwood mat is the flexible, interlocking format in the boxwood range. It is used where a surface has to be tiled panel by panel — fences, walls, frames, curves, columns, cutouts, and display backdrops — rather than screened with a rigid or freestanding hedge.
What size is an artificial boxwood mat?
The nominal panel size is 20 × 20 inches, which is 2.78 square feet of theoretical face area per panel. Panels are supplied 12 per case. Exact specifications for a variant such as the dragon mat are confirmed for the selected product.
How much area does one case cover?
Twelve 20 × 20-inch panels provide approximately 33.3 square feet of theoretical face area. Add an allowance for cuts, overlaps, openings, and layout. The calculator rounds up to full cases.
Are all boxwood mats fire-documented?
No. The standard UV-stabilized mat and the fire-documented mat are separate products. Do not assume documentation transfers between product variants.
Does NFPA 701 documentation guarantee project approval?
No. Laboratory documentation describes performance under specified test conditions. The venue, fire marshal, building official, or other authority having jurisdiction decides whether the submitted product and documents are acceptable for the project.
Can I order a sample before a full case?
Request the exact foliage style and identify the project type. Sample availability, timing, and shipping are confirmed by the Geranium Street team.
Can these mats be installed on an existing fence?
They can be considered for compatible fences, walls, and frames, but the attachment method depends on the substrate, wind exposure, access, edge conditions, and local requirements. Review the installation plan before ordering.
Send the dimensions and product requirement
Geranium Street will confirm the correct mat, full-case quantity, availability, lead time, documentation needs, and shipping method for the project.
