I was inspired by Foo's diagram of his living room and thought I might offer a similar diagram of my own. This is a landscape design for my house which includes a new walkway from the front door to the street of individual concrete pads with a fill of river rocks between them. The design of the walkway was intended to join the front yard to the back yard by complementing the existing back patio which is immediately visible when coming in the front door and is also a series of concrete pads with a fill of river rocks.
I am still trying to figure out what to do with the driveway, though. The original design called for decomposed granite inside a concrete border, but I know that DG fragments tracked in on shoes scratch up wood floors horribly, so that is not going to work. I was thinking of proposing that the driveway be composed of three or four separate full-width concrete pads in a pattern similar to the walkway. Is that too much? Are there other ideas worth considering? I am trying to do something a little more interesting than your typical generic suburban expanse of concrete for parking all your SUVs.
