Driveway grading is beginning today.
One huge downside to the porous paving we're using for the driveway is that it has perked the fire departments interest. When we were passing the project through plan check the fire department took a long hard look at the system we were using and made us promise what material we would use, how to install it, etc.
So now they send an inspector out every couple weeks to see how the driveway is progressing because they are using Rock Row as a case study for other permeable driveways.
20 pallets of the grasspave system are being delivered on Monday so pictures will post then.
