I prefer the grass. Spread out a cheap big blue tarp and back the trailer over it. Much easier on my old bones than concrete. Easy to slide around on the tarp and things don't get lost in the grass.
That may work well for a cursory inspection when not elevating a trailer. It is not a good solution when doing bigger projects or when you need to elevate the trailer. Even if you support jacks and stands with wood pads, there is a good probability that those will sink into the ground or tend to tip. The tarp and lawn will be easier on your bones but bones snap and crush when 5000 Lbs comes down on them.
Please, folks, work safe or hire someone familiar with the process, if necessary. It only takes an instant to change your life completely.
