We really want tor transform our front garden - the current driveway and layout (not to mention the lawn) really need changing - we would like to incorporate a turning circle , to get cars in and out. The photos are taken from the house looking down into the garden - any suggestions or designs please?
Hi Ca Vow, that's an impressive space! As The curve driveway will be transformed if you decided to go for natural stone paving like sandstone or cobblestone paving if you wanted a bit more character? The lawn ... Perhaps keep it minimal with large feature potted shrubs along the drive?
I have included a few photos to help you visualise a few concepts and showcase versatility of natural stone paving options:
The only way to get this right is to create a carefully scaled plan. One thing which would make the result a lot better is to make the 'roundabout' a raised bed so that you have some changes in level. That would also mean retaining some of the 'dig out' where you are extending the driveway.
If you are extending the existing driveway by more than 5 square meters (which you will be), it needs to be a porous surface or have planning approval if it is not porous (in the U.K. that is). A lot of contractors either don't know this or don't care. Drainage is a a huge issue for everyone, overflowing toilets are not good for anyone.
Thanks - yes post has been there for a while but we havent progressed with it yet and still grateful for any thoughts and comments on what to do with this area :)
