Anyone know where to get that criss-crossy stuff that you bury into grass
areas that are likely to get driven over, or even what it's properly called
? I have a slightly odd shaped drive with some grass alongside it, and in
order to get my car parked, the front wheels just swing across the curved
edge of that grass as you straighten back up. Each year, a bit more of the
underlying soil disappears, and I guess that the 'hole' created is now a
good couple of inches below the edge of the tarmac drive, which is itself
finished with concrete edgers.

Not a huge problem, but just looks a bit scruffy, as the grass is always
worn away just there.

TIA

Oddly enough, it is called grass protection mesh or grass reinforcement
mesh.

What a bloody excellent idea ! It's only a small area that's affected, and
that might just be the perfect answer !

Thanks to all the other pointers from other respondents. Appreciated.
