What to put on ground?

Last year we got those rubber patio tiles from the box store as a stopgap until we did the deck this year. They worked out great. We've moved them over to the pump/filter area and still loving them.

Do yours get really hot in the sun? I have them as the base of my pool ladder (3x5ft area) and they get way hotter than the Trex decking at my last house. Also, I cut my foot on one of them, as there were some small pieces of wire sticking out of the recycled rubber, so look at each one carefully, as I had to return 3 of them to Menard's for this reason.
