Driving on grass gently?
Hi, I need help. I have an area designated for turning cars round adjacent to the main track, made of packed quarry waste with two wheel tracks cut through a covering of turf. It works well enough for the Jimny and the tractor as they have a good turning circle. The Jeep and mothers roomster less so and they need to take bites at getting round as do people who are not used to turning there. This is not a problem in summer or daylight but when the turf is muddy or its too dark to see it can make a mess. Are there any products available that will essentially reinforce the grass making it driveonable?

Thanks in advance. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

Have a look at grass reinforcement mesh. It's good stuff but can work out quite pricey on large areas.

Lots of local authorities use grass reinforcement mesh on overflow car parks and is popular for caravan parks. It's not an instant fix as you should allow the grass to grow through which helps to keep it in place and stop any creep. Defender 90XS SW

Here's a product I'm looking at using, it might be worth having a nosey at.
