GREEN PARKING SOLUTIONS SET TO SHAPE PEAK LANDSCAPING SEASON PROJECTS
REINFORCED GRASS PARKING REFLECTS GROWING DEMAND FOR GREENER DRIVEWAY AND OVERFLOW PARKING SOLUTIONS
As the landscaping season approaches, demand is continuing to rise for parking and driveway systems that combine permeability, durability and a more natural appearance. Across hospitality venues, rural properties and countryside developments, reinforced grass and gravel surfaces are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to traditional hardstanding.
One project reflecting this trend is the reopening of the historic Tunnel
House Inn in the Cotswolds, where a 600m ² overflow parking area has been reinstated using Beauxfort Grassrings ahead of the pub’ s spring 2026 reopening.
Located beside the Coates portal of the Sapperton Canal Tunnel within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, preserving the character of the landscape was central to the project. Rather than introducing a visible hard surface, the aim was to create additional parking capacity while retaining a fully grassed finish.
Grassrings reinforce the ground beneath the surface, helping to prevent rutting, soil compaction and surface deterioration during vehicle use while maintaining a green, permeable appearance. The system allows spaces to function as parking areas during busy periods without losing their visual identity as landscaped green space.
