You don't want a trolley jack to dig in, it needs to roll as the arm moves through it's arc.
but you dont want it stood on a slab

I have a sheet of 18mm marine ply at workI've seen enough block paved drives with parts that had sunk I always put a sheet of shuttering ply under my jack and axel stands.
A friend who looked after his own cars and serviced others had a good solution. He removed some blocks and dropped some concrete in the hole and gave himself jacking points.

I have 2 4ft planks, if i butt up the planks and put the trolly jack on topput of the ply do you think that would be ok ?Use scaffold planks. You can still allow movement on a trolley jack. I'd worry more about the oil leaks that range rovers leave when marking their territory.
I like it thats a good idea thanks fellasheet of ply works well and catches all the oil and rubbish that will mark the drive or once its on stands sheet of hardboard great to slide around on and wipe clean
