I know this isn’t going to be a popular post. We have a curb cut that currently services the space between our house and our neighbors, but it’s difficult to navigate through the smaller opening. Our neighbor refuses to park his car behind ours and vice versa with the intention of sharing keys to get in and out. We’re stuck with considering paving over part of our front lawn in order to create a dedicated parking space. <\/p>\n
If it must be done, we’d like to use pavers or stone that won’t detract too much from the beauty of our home. I think that bluestone would be lovely, but I am not sure that it can handle the weight of a car. Any suggestions for which materials to use?<\/p>\n
