If it is just to assist turning then one of the just lay it on top mesh solutions is worth a try. one that beds in then once the grass has grown and cut it should look quite good.

next would be those grids that need the turf lifting then laying level and refilling grass/gravel much more labor.


When I was looking for a gravel path project you can get grid down to £10 sqm


a quick google finds this stuff for a mesh lay over solution.
http://www.rubbermatting-direct.co.uk/productdetail/Premium-Grass-Reinforcement-Mesh £4.32sqm

there grid solution is £12sqm

there is quite a lot of choice out there.

It looks quite thin that matting, the grasslok rubber matting is £15sqm and looks a lot more robost. I can see the grass reinforcement mesh deteriorating after a few years. Mind you maybe we`ll have saved up by then to be able to afford a new driveway.

The council around here uses a similar idea, but the grid seems to be made of concrete or something hard. They use it on grass verges in side-roads where people park with one wheel on the grass verge and the other on the road. I'm not sure what it is called.

Yes but problem is you need to remove all the grass, lay down a bed of hardcore/sand and then add the grid paving and then re-sow the soil to grow the grass. With the grassloc/rubber mesh you just cut the grass short, lay it down and then its hidden in a month when the grass grows to cover it.
