Default Driveway blocks?

What you are looking for is a product known by varios names. Try googling
for "grass pave" or something similar. It is a plastic product that can
come in either huge rolls 8feet wide or in 2X2 squares that interlock. I
used the 2x2 squares to create a checker board patterns in my driveway
("red" was grass and "black" was concrete pavers). It looked really cool
and you could drive anything over it. The grass was completely solid (you
couldn't tell any product was under it.

Someone once told me that they had some type of concrete blocks
embedded within the lawn so that when the coal truck backed up to
deliver, it didn't sink in and leave ruts. When I looked at the area
in question, I didn't see them in the grass, so I don't know what they
look like, but they must have done the job.

Is there a special name for these blocks? I haven't checked at Lowe's
or any of the local garden centers yet, so pardon my ignorance, but
are they a common item? If so, what are they called? How easy is it
to install them? Any tips on doing the job right? Have they worked
well for anyone else?

TIA
