The old 3m crossover is already there but just rough gravel. Council state it has to be done in plain concrete We'd prefer to combine the drive...
That's what we're not sure and waiting to hear about from the builder. Have to bear in mind the 40% landscaping ratio so don't know if we have any...
We'd quite like to not have grass to avoid taking the mower out the front for such a small area. Maybe ground cover planting with border shrubs....
