The headline in Architectural Digest says, “This Beautiful Driveway Design Puts Plain Pavement to Shame.” Well, yes, it does. The property owner wanted “green space to give it that feeling of a front yard, yet he wanted to be able to drive in and out easily.” The result? A driveway that incorporated basalt stone, concrete, permeable pavers, and grass in interesting patterns. (It’s stunning, check it out.)
Sadly, the grassy parts still generated mud and mess, so actual driving had to be confined to the hardscape part of the driveway. If only they had chosen artificial grass instead.
With faux grass, mud and mess are checked off your list of concerns. So let it rain (let’s hope it does!). Wash the car! And get out your cape and that special shirt with the big “S” on the front. Wear it proudly, because your yard is now Super-Sustainable, all thanks to your artificial grass driveway.
