Looking for ideas of what to do on driveway top

13 years ago

I have a really long driveway, and I'm going to build a fence/gate about halfway down it to convert the back half to become part of the back yard.

I'm not sure I'm up for taking out that part of the driveway yet so I'm looking for ideas of what I could do on it. I guess I could put gravel down, maybe even mulch. Maybe I could promote the moss that's already growing on it a bit and see if I could get it to really take off? Other thoughts?

There is a book by George Schenk called something like Growing on Pavement... which would be very helpful for you.

If Ideasshare doctors up your photos, the suggestions are usually in the realm of fantasy, so be forewarned.

I just posted instructions for posting photos on another thread..."in need of expert advice."
