Ideas for front door “path”

[mrbg07546]

We have a large drive. When cars are people have to walk on grass and it gets muddy.

I’m thinking of creating a path where the red lines are. Pehaps just embed some slabs in the grass?

What do you think is a good neat idea that I can do on a lowish budget? It must be noticed the grass is not level as per green line.

Some nice leftover slabs off e-bay.

You'll need permission to lay the slabs right up to the kerb.

Chippings!

Slabs on Freecycle- if you can wait the 50mm x 600mm x 900mm council type appear every so often, they're great. Heavy but very strong

Or a more elegant solution is the plastic mesh stuff- you can keep the grass and it doesn't turn into a bog in the winter. Quick google came up with this, there are other variants https://www.sure-green.com/products...tion-mesh---light-car-traffic.php?product=258.
Added bonus of no slaver from anyone about increasing water runoff

Plastic mesh looks good. One question on it. Can you mow the lawn ? Or would you need to remove it every time you do?

You can mow it (down to an inch or so anyway)- that's the real bonus of the stuff. Nice bit of lawn you can drive on in all weather, what's not to like

Cheap/easy way would be dig it out and chuck some hardcore and scalpings down. Could always be paved at a later date.

Going by the mud on the other side of the drive, it wants widened and a proper edge marked out.
