Sometimes doing stuff just costs money. I have had to hire a concrete boom pump more than once for backyard pours.
Over the years I have allowed access through my yard for my neighbor but I wouldn't allow a concrete truck and he will need at least 3 if not 4 to get 30 yards. A 40k pound truck is gonna do some damage and I don't trust anyone to fix it back as good or better than it was if it is coming out of their pocket. It is completely possible a pump truck would be less expensive than fixing your yard or at least not a massive amount more unless they just plan to whitewash the issue once the damage is done.

United Rentals has a buggy for rent this weekend. His only issue is he also has to rent it for the holiday because they are closed.

This neighbor obviously thinks you are a soy boy. Have sex with his wife.

All these fine OT folks are telling you to have him go rent this, that , the other thing, and re-sod. Also, you already said no. Why are you still arguing with him? You do not have to tell him why you don't want it, 10-12 times, arguing each step of the way.
You said no, now quit discussing it.

Is HIS yard not on the other side of the driveway he wants to pour? Tell him to drive it into his own yard.

Refer him to a concrete pump specialist
E.g. LINK https://www.lcpumpers.com/Capabilities/residential
Another
LINK https://www.bayouconcretepumping.com/
Despite restoration etc, you will end up physically feeling (each time you mow) and seeing the impact of that truck on your lawn for years to come. Plus lose what was a good neighbor relationship

And when he doesn't fix the ruts, or doesn’t fix them proper, what’s the fallback plan?
If you allow this, I’d definitely tell the neighbor that if the contractor doesn’t fix them properly you expect him to do it instead. That’s a pretty reasonable expectation.

Its called a line pump, tell ya neighbors contractor to look into it.
Posted on 5/28/21 at 7:14 am to Sailin Tiger
Yeah, no.

enough plywood
If the guy did this and just put it on his driveway like a mat for the truck would that help reduce the chances of cracking? That cement truck is going f up something. And the guy is a jackass for pressing the issue to use the yard.

This is the actual dilemma
He wants it done this weekend and going through your yard is his only way
Tell him push the project back, get the buggy, and go over his own driveway
Simple as that
His timing is NOT your problem

I would have laughed at him for asking such a ridiculous arse question. The guys gotta have some serious nerve or be a real idiot or both to ask his neighbor that kind of favor for the sake of preserving his own stuff.
I'm going bring my neighbors some fish today or something. Its so nice to not have idiots for neighbors.

It’s just a stoopid yard. Grass grows back. In a few years you’ll hardly notice.

I wish. From personal experience, it’s not the grass. It is the compacting that occurs.

Not a chance. If hes worried about the stress a concrete truck will put on his CONCRETE then think about what it will do to your freshly graded SOIL.
As for the contractor fixing anything, "sure he will".
Tell him to quit being cheap and rent a pump truck. 30 yards will run him between $5-750.
If the pump truck wont work then find a rental company in the area and get a georgia buggy and just plan for an increased labor cost. (I highly doubt every georgia buggy at every rental company in your area is locked up for the weekend).

Tell him to pump the concrete from the road. A pump truck doesn’t cost that much ($500?) compared to the rest of the expenses.

That's what the tree cutters did for my driveway when they brought a 40k lbs truck over it. I didn't notice any cracks after, but I was nervous.
