Parking surface

What do you call the plastic (I presume) stuff you can lay on a parking surface that has holes in it which the grass can grow through?



And where do you get it?



TIA

We got some recently from HB, in the garden section.

The type used for creating temporary car parking I normally call "bastard" when you walk across it after rain and it shoots mud up your trouser leg.

Umm, no. Agent marks it in the same colour as quoted text for me as the line starts with a : so I missed it. No harm done. :)

I bought a quantity of Agrablock for a project which never went ahead. Brand new it cost £9.50 + delivery + vat. See

Is that the car park that is an essential part of the fen flood management, and goes under 3 ft of water every winter?

I didn't know that. Isn't there a pub carpark near St Ives/Earith way that is on the flood plain. Someone left their car there ignoring the flood warning signs and came back later in the day to find water up to the top of the tyres?
