Grass Driveway & Parking Mats

Park on your lawn without ruts, mud or bare patches. Rubber grass mats and turf reinforcement mesh sit on top of existing grass, take the weight of the car and let the grass keep growing through. There is no digging, no sub-base and no gravel grid, so most grass driveways and parking spaces are done in an afternoon and still look like lawn.

Which product do I need?

Heavy duty car park & driveway grass mats 22mm: 1.5m x 1m mats built for daily parking, verges and overflow bays.
23mm rubber grass mats: our recommendation for everyday parking on a grass driveway or verge. Each 1m x 1.5m mat covers 1.5m².
Green rubber grass mats: blend into the lawn from day one, before the grass has grown through – a green driveway rather than a black grid.
Turf reinforcement mesh: a 2m x 25m roll (50m²) supplied with 200 pegs, for larger areas used by cars and vans up to 3.5 tonnes.

Mats or mesh for a driveway?

Mats give instant protection and suit a drive that is already rutted or muddy, a verge that is parked on every day, and anywhere the car turns on the same spot. Mesh is the economical choice for a healthy lawn you want to reinforce over the whole area; it needs a growing season to reach full strength, so lay it in spring or summer. Many driveways use mesh for the length and 23mm mats where the car actually parks.

How to lay them

Mow the grass short and clear any stones.
Lay the mats (or unroll the mesh) and peg them down. Lay full rows rather than two wheel strips if the car is not always parked in exactly the same place.
Cable-tie neighbouring mats together so they cannot shift.
Mats can be driven on straight away. Give mesh a few weeks in the growing season to come through and knit everything into the ground before parking on it.

Quick answers

16mm or 23mm for a driveway? Choose 23mm (or the 22mm car park mat) for cars. 16mm is designed for foot traffic and light use.

Can I mow over them? Yes. Once the grass has grown through, mow as normal with the blades set a little higher.

Do I need planning permission? Grass mats and mesh are permeable and sit on the existing lawn, so rainwater still soaks away as it did before; if you are creating a new vehicle crossing onto a public road, check the dropped-kerb rules with your council.
