There are no puddles, but the driveway is sloped. Everything drains off there. There aren’t really any ruts to be seen either, it still looks quite good overall. The flower bed doesn’t necessarily have to go, it just gets in the way a little when driving in and out. Theoretically, everything could stay as it is for now. However, we have already remodeled quite a bit, the driveway would still be the last “highlight” for me. But it can wait. I need to find out what it actually costs, it’s probably about 40 square meters. Hence the question whether the base could be left as is. I and my father would still dare to just lay the paving. But thanks already for the many suggestions and ideas.
