In the clip, captured on a home security camera, a lorry with Tesco on the side can be seen driving straight across the green lawn, between two rocks - which appear to be in place to block vehicles.
As the lorry leaves the lawn and re-mounts the driveway a sensor light comes on, revealing the long tyre marks that have been left behind.
The homeowner took to Twitter to share the clip with the caption: "Awfully good of @tesco to help roll and lay some drainage channels in my new lawn on Friday night.
"Phones twice to complain but still no call back! Please retweet as much as you can folks."
In less than 24 hours the post had been retweeted more than 9,000 times and liked 14,800 times.
But it split opinions among social media users.
One person wrote: "I’ve lost count of the times that delivery drivers have driven into my lawn when revering into the drive of our neighbour opposite."
While another said: "It’s definitely not a new lawn! Bit petty if you ask me."

To which one person replied: "Subjective I suppose, I wouldn't be impressed if any van drove across my lawn when there is a clear driveway to use ha."
Another person wrote: "Your complaining about them driving over your grass to delivery ‘your’ food. If you didn’t want them to do so get off your bottom and get the shopping yourself."
While another commented: "I can’t believe the excuses people are making for this or think you’re the one in the wrong for complaining!
"I own a haulage firm so know all about delivering in tight spaces. If you don’t think you can, you agree a plan, not just drive anywhere, just because it’s there!"
A Tesco spokeswoman told The Sun Online: “We’re really sorry about this.
"We have reached out to the customer for more details so we can investigate what happened.”
The Sun Online has approached the homeowner for comment.

The clip has come to light just days after a woman slammed Tesco when one of their delivery drivers smashed into her car, then took off.
Taking to TikTok to share footage of the hit and run, Kylie Stillman warned Tesco the company it had "damage to pay".
