Car parking space on gravel turf, grass grids, etc.

I would never do grass grids. They are just totally ugly and impractical with the many holes.

I originally thought of flower-gravel-lawn for the driveway, but then discarded it and preferred to pave it. Mainly because of the issue with snow removal. For a visitor parking space, however, I would find that absolutely OK. Behind the house there is also a path planned, which I want to lay as BSR; hopefully I will finish it this week. Gravel 0/16, then 2cm of compost will be leveled on top and everything compacted. Seeding then with a mixture for flower-gravel-lawn. Conventional gravel lawn differs from BSR in that gravel lawn usually has 50% topsoil mixed in and is mainly seeded with grasses. BSR has a high proportion of herbs and due to the higher gravel content it should silt up significantly less.

For grass grids there are these filler stones, so there are no holes. At least, if you want to drive on it with vehicles, it is more practical than gravel or gravel lawn or BSR.

Then the wastewater fee no longer applies as unsealed or slightly sealed. If I make filling stones, I might as well pave properly.

Rasengittersteine don't have to be that ugly - see e.g. Godelmann GDM.SCADA liner / GDM.LUNIX ornament etc. Something like that is what we have in mind, let's see when we get around to it.

yeah, they are not that uncool...

I once saw some metal grids through which grass could grow, but unlike with the (which are also quite ugly ;) concrete grid stones) the grass wouldn't be driven over (and crushed), what do you think about that? If they are 'tight' enough, you can definitely walk on them.

Trash bins wouldn't be necessary here, neither would snow shoveling, nor mopeds or bicycles. Just cars (max. transporter 3.5t), possibly a trailer.

How about just sowing grass first? And then, based on the usage and tire tracks, analyze what and how much firmer surface you actually need? Sometimes it’s the case that you only need a strip of firmer surface. Recently, I saw at a house that they "simply" laid very pretty (stepping?) slabs in the grass where they parked one of the cars. It seemed to be enough and, in my opinion, looked very good. With a correspondingly robust lawn, that might be worth trying first.

In our planning, grass is already present; according to the construction company (which I contacted because of the driveway), everything would have to be excavated as with the driveway, meaning 20 cm of gravel plus 5 cm of paving grit...
