Yep. And all your neighbours will start parking on the grass cos they think you are and it's ok. Then they'll sink and you will laugh at them. Then they will hate you and you'll have to move. Be careful Tunnie.

And that is where it starts, it won't be long before it looks like an 'Estate'.........

Thanks Chaps 

Knew get answers here 

So, a rough plan would be:

1) Dig two long "trenches" for the wheels to run along
2) Line each trench with a geo-textile product, just loose pushed in?
3) Fill with correct depth of MT1 (hehe matches my initials)
4) Use a tamper to compact down manually, think petrol 'wacker' would be OTT.
5) top off with sharp sand to correct amount, again tamper down
6) Put these grass-grid things down, hopefully they rest at same level as rest of the garden.
7) Fill with gravel.

Done? Two strips for wheels to drive along, with good base to support the car and good drainage complying with SUDS regs

Amend 7) ... to 1/2 fill with gravel
top up with top-soil
9) sow with a hard wearing grass seed.

You will end up with what looks like a lawn, but has the strength you need for the car, and "if" you have got the grid things level with the rest of the surface, the mower will run across the top easily .. 

Considered that, but wonder if grass would struggle. For example at weekends, it could be parked on there for 2 days, so no light for the grass.

As it's un-adopted, there are rules for where people can park

Which probably preclude parking on the grass

In communal areas yes, but mine is only one with a decent front garden  - It's my land

Seeding it is good advice, it will still grow and as said, keep to same height and easy to mow..............

We're not allowed a pikey palace or chickens... go figure

[Marks DTM Calib]

You need a Wacker to compact it

So using an old pikey palace as a chicken coop would be frowned upon then?     

[tunnie]

Thanks. 

Apart from that got everything right?

About there, I know a man who owns a petrol plate compactor

[Sir Tigger KC]

Talking of pikey palaces Tunnie, you should make your vehicle pad big enough to park a caravan on. 

When the little Tunnies start popping out and you decide caravanning is the way to go for your family holidays, you'll be all sorted!!

Why clutter up the front lawn when he can always borrow TBs.
