For cars, wait 2–4 weeks in the growing season so the roots can lock the mesh in place.

It protects the grass from foot traffic as soon as it's down, which helps stop wet-weather mud before it starts. Grass grows slowly in cold weather, so keep vehicle use light until the grass has grown through in spring. Lay the roll out somewhere warm for a while first so it flattens more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need planning permission for a grass driveway?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn England, you don't need planning permission for a permeable surface in a front garden, and reinforced grass is fully permeable. A new dropped kerb still needs approval from your council.

Level the soil, sow a hard-wearing grass seed, peg the mesh over the top and keep vehicles off until the grass has grown through. That usually takes 6–8 weeks in the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I be able to see the mesh?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardly at all.
