Actually, you want to land on the paved surface.
This is a proven fact. Less damage and more control.

I would want to land on pavement in my 182 RG because it looks like the
retract holes in the belly would catch turf and make for a messy
deceleration. In a retract with wells in the wings, maybe grass is a better
option?
