Default Transporting heavy machinery over lawn

Hi guys
I have a bit of an issue.
I need to move an old second hand CNC mill with a forklift to my back garage but I have a back yard/lawn. Its about 11 meters 36 feet from a concrete path to my back garage, back garage has a concrete floor.
Hiring steel road plates to lay on the lawn is around $2500 for a few days which is super expensive.
What other alternatives have people used other than road plates. I was thinking timber road plate, ply wood or similar used in construction which are pretty strong but don't know if they're strong enough. I don't mind if they get damaged as long as the forklift doesn't sink while carrying the CNC. The forklift and CNC together is about 10 tonn.
Any suggestions would be great
