Hello All,
Looking for inspiration and ideas from you knowledgeable folks. Finally going to pour a parking pad on the side of the house and trying to decide on the paving across the front yard to get to it. Currently grass with a tree that will be trimmed up to allow passage next to it. The run is about 40' from where the new gate will be to the sidewalk. I'll fab some metal ramps to put in the gutter when I need to traverse the sidewalk.
Current options:
Stamped Concrete strips. Not a huge fan of the strips but have seen some done well. If we did this, maybe some leggy low ground cover that would cover most of it. I could cut it back if I needed the traction. We only take the trailer out a few times per year.
I looked into the turf blocks that allow tufts of grass to grow through but in our climate the summers would likely kill anything that tried. The blocks would just be little kilns surrounding anything temporarily green.
Stamped concrete driveway. Would match existing but would leave only a small section of yard for anything green.
Pavers look nice but wont match any other concrete we have. Of course the driveway probably should be done soon too so that could be a larger integrated project, with a much larger price tag.
Gravel or decomposed granite- no freaking way. The older I get the less I want to nitpick clean up. I'm just too busy. If my leaf blower or power washer wont clean it, It's off the list ๐
I'm sure many of you get to park your rigs at home. If you added parking, how did you tackle the access while not looking like an airport runway?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
