Just posting here to see if anyone can help me get a start on this, basically my driveway has been a mess since we moved in over ten years ago, missus is on at me at get it sorted*, going to get someone in to do it, but I need to try and work out what I'm asking them to quote for first.... and I appear to have something akin to writers block with it!
*Yes its dragged into years.....
I'm obviously not expecting anyone to do a design for me, more like ideas on what you'd do if it was you, to get me some possible starting points. I can post photos as well tommorow if thats usful, but its dark outside now!
What I do know:
Areas that are paved will be block paving, but I'm not sure what colour yet
The tree at the front is staying because its a rather nice copper beech
I need to be able turn around and drive out forwards (Including a tranist sized van), it was actually a planning condition 30 years ago when an extension was built - now I'm not sure if I'm still held to that many decades after it was finished, however it doesn't make sense not to, the area is much more developed than it was back then, and the major road on the drawing is an 'A' road, and the junction gets busy at rush hour, and there are cars parking at the roadside on the minot road (Council sent a letter saying they were looking at painting double yellows - but hadn't happened yet) I'm sure I'd seriously regret it if I made it so I had to back out
Some of it will have to be lawn/garden because I wont be able to afford to pave the whole thing (plus possibly not allowed to anyway?) Me and the wife disagree on whether to have the lawn between the parking area and the house, or between the parking area and the major road
There is a gentle slope downwards towards the house
