We just made a green driveway, literally (as in grass) and environmentally, to allow for better use of our frontage, as well as to better link the front and backyard. We used recycled plastic grids sourced from Vancouver which prevent ruts from forming (due to the weight of the car) and allow the grass to have deep (protected, strong and drought resistant) roots. The result is a lovely carpet of lush green grass, and no big mass of asphalt or blah interlock.
It looks great on our modern home, and furthermore, it allows rain water to trickle into the water table and not be forced into storm sewers.
I would encourage everyone to consider this sustainable and innovative solution!
