What we are thinking is to extend the driveway in front of the black car so we can pull it forward. That will give us the ability to pull the other two into the garage. Ignore the ugly shed, it will be replaced soon! The drive way is 26.5’ wide from the garage doors to the end of the driveway. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Where? How? Sketch a little plan to give an idea of what you're thinking.

Okay, please excuse the terrible drawing, but it gives you and idea of where we are thinking. If adding pavers, I thought we could boarder the the long side of the driveway as well and clean it up. We need to have it sealed as well so it will be one color! I think we might have to move the dogwood that is currently in front of the van in the photo. We just did paver patio in the back so I think we would do something that feeds into that and maybe create a walkway from the driveway to the back patio. Anyway, here is the photo.

Sorry, I can’t seem to attach photos from my computer. I have to do it by the app??

View from the backyard. Thought it would help with the thought of a walkway from driveway.

Do you use the garage to park the cars? I think moving one car into the garage would free up space and then you wouldn’t have to add more paving. Using pavers for a car is possible but your prep has to be impeccable and is costly. its much more prep and prep materials than a patio that doesn’t have the weight of cars in it.

In order to end up with a good result, consider the entire parking/driving experience, and use of the garage, for all cars. Explain the expectations to us. Working out the details would be done on an accurately drawn base plan.

Why are you starting with the premise that the material is pavers? IMO, it would be better to work out the function, see the shape of the layout in comparison to what exists, and then make a determination of materials of the reconfiguration.

We would like to use the garage for at least one car. At this time, we can as there is space in the garage, but don’t often use it. The driveway is really not functional unless both cars are parked in the garage. There just isn’t enough space in the driveway to back out of the garage if another car is parked in the driveway. I’d like to be able to park two cars in the driveway and easily access at least one garage bay, two would be great, not sure there is enough space.

We’ve lived in the house for about 6 years and about 3 years ago we had to redo the driveway. The contractor did a terrible job and basically had to redo part of the driveway and that’s why you see two different colors. I was thinking pavers because I didn’t know if we could easily add asphalt to a new section. If we did, can we seal the entire drive to make one color? That area of the yard is in desperate need of landscaping and a new shed. But, I’d like to have a plan with the idea of a more functional driveway before making any changes. And, I don’t want to pull up all the existing asphalt for a new design.

Any insight or suggestions would be helpful. I should mention that wising the drive to the left of the black car is not really possible. During a big rain, that area has moving water that runs to a sewer. So, we definitely don’t want to extend into that area and deal with possible flooding.

Thanks so much.
