What instead of gravel?
 

2nd posting attempt

We basically have a concrete drive, previous owners used some grass on the
side for extra parking. Lifted the grass, black membrane and gravel. Fine
when we came, now PITA weeds come through. I've seen black plastic
squares/honeycombs which have grass inside but presumably are ok for cars to
drive onto? What the devil are they or any better ideas? Ta muchly.

It must be 8 to 10mm but the weeds are such a !"£$" it's impossible to keep
it looking good. Maybe I should rip it up and put 2 or 3 sheets of membrane.




Thats the problem, you need 18mm gravel. My front garden & drive are
18mm gravel. Garden has a membrane below, drive has 4" of type 1
compacted below. We get a few weeds, but a quick zap with weed killer
keeps it looking nice.
