Hi Folks.
I'm after a little advice. I would like to widen the driveway entrance & driveway itself to make easier getting in & out. Budget is a big issue (cheap & cheerful ).
I've added photos & a red line to give idea of what i'm trying to achieve. My questions are as follows.
I'm thinking gravel would be the cheapest option & beling a relatiively small area, something i can do myself. I will need to raise the area it a little to make level with the current driveway & obviously remove the handrail.
Can i use blackout membrane over the grass, then raise this area (with hardcore or type 1 ??) & then gravel over ..... would this work ??
I'm assuming i will have to get someone in to widen the entrance. If i had the brick post & the small amount of wall removed, will this affect the stability of the rest of the wall ?? ... or would the brick post need to be rebuilt ??
