If your currently having this issue, consider converting your small driveway into a circular or semi-circular driveway. Its shape means there can be a constant flow of vehicles and will allow more space for other vehicles versus the standard rectangular driveway.

When designing your ideal outdoor space, there are 2 distinct categories of work that you'll see: hardscape and landscape. Hardscape is any of the non-living elements in your landscape design such as concrete, rocks, bricks, pavers, and stone. Hardscape also includes man-made structures like decks, pergolas, or patio covers that are used specifically in your landscaping.
