There has to be some company that makes it. I've put in hookups for our GMC. At our daughter's house in the Twin City's Minnesota. For when we visit. We now park on the grass. Next to the garage. ( I'm not happy doing that now.) She's a Doctor there. And has a very nice-looking house. Gravel, or more concrete, with an approach. Just wouldn't look right next to her already large 4 stall garage. I've seen 4ft by 4ft plastic pallets. That have 1-inch square holes as the top of the pallet. With 3/8-inch-wide vertical bars between each square hole. I need the top of that pallet. Dig out the area with my Bobcat. Put down 4 inches of rock. Place the matt on the rock. Then fill the holes with top soil. Put down some blue grass seed. I'll then have a hard parking space, and approach that no one will see. Anyone seen a product like that. Maybe in erosion control?

Military PAP or PSP (Pierced Aluminum Planking or Pierced Steel planking.) Used for laying over newly graded dirt runways since before WWII. Lots of it around Surplus. I saw a stack of it somewhere in the last few months but I can not remember where I was. If I remember I will post it.

This is a common product in Facilities, and has many applications including occasional overflow parking and Fire Lane approaches. Here is one particular product line that may suit your needs: https://www.invisiblestructures.com/products/grasspave-2/

The entire product class is often referred to as Geo-grids and Geo-textiles. Hope that helps.

They also make them out of concrete, which seems better to me for parking vehicles
