Hello,

the civil engineering work will start soon for me. We will be building in the 2nd row and have therefore planned a longer footpath to our house entrance. How should the substructure of such a footpath be? Is a bit of gravel enough here? I would like to have some greenery next to the path. Do I need to consider anything? I would like to properly pave the footpath later. Do I need to consider anything regarding the substructure now for this?

Where does the construction road run, that would be a good surface for the driveway and path

For me, the driveway and the footpath to the garden gate are separate (because I have two driveways/paths). The driveway will be gravelled and compacted anyway.

Remove non-load-bearing soil now and layer with gravel as long as you can still easily access the path. The rest can be reworked by the paver with a mini excavator after the house is built.

What do you mean by paving later? After building the house, or "after moving in sometime when money and mood are back"? I can only recommend having the paving done by the time you move in. Otherwise, you'll just carry dirt and stones into the new house.

see also: - although I believe I already noticed a subtle hint in that the access path could be solved a bit more complex than necessary ;-) To be honest, the routing reminds me a bit of the one-way street rule during the corona period at the absentee voting office for the state election ten days ago :)

Thank you 11ant. I couldn't remember this picture from the thread at all. But I will now follow the blue path. Unfortunately, you cannot choose the plots, and I would have preferred it differently too, believe me. By the way, south is to the right in the picture.
