The plastic mesh illustrated is the best because the grass can grow through it and the rain will drain through it,a tarmac drive will cause the water to run off and could cause flooding.

I believe that planning permission is required for a front driveway unless it is water permeable, best investigate what your local council wants before you spend your money.
"Planning Permission For Paving Your Driveway. If you are using permeable material to surface your driveway, you usually will not need any planning permission whatsoever. Permeable surfacing can be gravel, permeable concrete, or asphalt – anything that is sure to let rainwater drain through the driveway into the ground."
I would go for Tarmac, if done well could last for 30 years .block paving is cheaper looks good when new.
PAVERS every time ,4 inches of stones and gravel whacker then lay the pavers on sand cemend mix 7-1 ,four big dolops at each corner and one in the middle,half inch gap between.
Then 2 days later mix up cement and brush in with a rubber edged grout brush.
I have had 10 ton boats and trucks on mine,but if you want paddy come and do it for you.:lol-053::lol-053:
. Yep it's all about prepI laid the sub base at the front of my house in order to lay block pavers.
I laid the block paver edges but and then put tarmac down as it was cheaper.
I spent a full day spreading substrate and whacking it down with a petrol whacker, time well spent, as after the tarmac was laid I ordered a small concrete delivery (6 cubic metres) for a garage base, but a huge mixer turned up at the house with a full load. The driver says "I will tell you know that the lorry will destroy your drive when I back down"... after a short discussion, it was decided that he should back his lorry so that his back wheels are on the tarmac and then we will see what happens.
The tarmac easily took the 6 cubic metres of weight, which I put down to the fact that time was spent on whacking down the base.
How long has it been down Trev.
