Parking on Fake Grass

[TIS]

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone had any reviews on long term parking on fake grass. My front garden currently has block paving and then a small area of grass which is quite unslightly. I was thinking of block paving the rest to enable parking but have been told that the new bits will stick out like a sore thumb even if the old is power washed. Not really keen a gravel as this would go all over the block paving and also into the tyre treads.

Therefore I have had an idea to lay fake grass instead. Obviously I would be digging a sub base but was wondering if anyone has parked a vehicle on it before. The grass right now is dead underneath, not sure it is from the heat of the engine or the fact that no sunlight gets to it. The car is used daily. I have attached a picture if that helps. Any advise would be great. Thanks!

what if I was to glue more of the grass down on just the area I will be parking on? I spoke to 2 suppliers and they have said it will be fine and just brushing it back the other way occasionally would fix the flattening of a car parking on it. BUT maybe they are just saying this to sell it to me?

They probably are block pavers on the boundary wall but I bought the house with the driveway already laid. I will be sorting out the front wall and also gate later this year.

Thanks for all the responses, not that keen on the bio verse as it will probably mean I will still have to get the mower out on the front which is what I want to avoid. Otherwise looks like stones is the only way forward for a low maintenance front garden.

My next door neighbours park on artifical grass, it still looks good, although there is a lamp post straight in front of it, so you can see where they have applied steering while being stationary.

Do you know how long they have had it laid down for?
