Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Aug 17, 2016 8:48 am Hi, I'm building a new house and it located on a relatively busy road so I would like to avoid revering into it as much as possible. That's why I'm trying to design our driveway in such a way that I can revers in front of the house without getting to the road. The obvious solution is to concrete a significant part of the front yard ( I think 8m x 8m should be enough for 4.7m car) but this will not look great as it will be one continuous concrete surface. I'm looking for ideas/designs which look good but still give enough space to reverse my car. My Google-fu is failing me as I have not found anything interesting. Most designs have a nature strip between the garage and the front door but this will not work in my case. I attached a highlevel plan of my house.

If space allows, use wider spacing for easier walk-about space between vehicles, the driveway, and the sidewalk, and the vehicles and the garage or house. Picture kids removing their bicycle from the garage and allow enough space between vehicles to avoid a scratched car. Single Driveway: 20x10 minimum. Minimum width 10 feet, preferred 12 ft to allow car doors to open and step onto pavement Double Driveway: 20x20 minimum, 20x24 is preferred Triple Driveway: 20x30 minimum I used pavage asphalte right next to the path so I could spend less money I get it from entreprise lévisienne. Installation of new driveways should always include placement of conduits for utilities, main water lines, electrical lines, low-voltage lighting, sprinkler pipes, speaker wires, and anything else you think you might need in the future. dimensions on your original plan are inconsistent and with accurate dimensions (including site plan, upstairs and down) i could make a proper scale drawing with furniture… 3 8161 I looked into it a few years ago and my conclusion was to just build a carport that will support panels and get a system installed separately.
