Hello everyone,
we would like to create an additional parking space in our front yard. Our electric car is supposed to find its place there. We actually like the idea of a gravel or pebble base very much, but I have already read some posts here in the forum advising against gravel for various reasons. The main topic was always the carrying of gravel into the house and the high noise level when driving over it.
Yesterday, while walking, we came across the compacted gravel paths typical for parks. We find this natural approach very nice, so I wondered if anyone here has already implemented something similar or has experience with it. I would create a coarse gravel base, put a weed control fabric on it, and then honeycomb grids on top of that. The honeycomb grids in the hope that they will reduce ruts. I would also compact the gravel additionally. Due to the fine and compacted gravel, we should carry no or at least few stones into the house, and the issue of high noise should also be addressed.
I have attached a picture as an example.
I would appreciate your assessment and opinion.
