Driveway questions
The path in from the street, how many cars sit outside, and the bays you already own.
What is the approach?+
The path from the street to the garage: straight, curved, or a court to turn. Approach and parking count are what this page redraws.
Does parking count include cars inside the garage?+
No. Parking count is the cars outside. Garage count is the bays, and that count stays.
Can I add a third garage door?+
No. Garage count stays. If you need another bay, that is a building change, not a driveway surface.
What if the cars park tandem?+
Say so. A tandem pair is a parking count of two in one line. The paving should show that line, not two stalls side by side that the width cannot hold.
Can the material change without moving the doors?+
Yes. Gravel, pavers, or a slab can replace what is under the tires. The garage count at the end of the approach stays.
Is the front walk part of this page?+
Only as a path beside the cars. If the walk is really the guest sequence through front, side, and rear, use the yard page and keep the drive fixed there.
Can every bay be read from this photo?+
Only if the frame includes the street apron and every garage door. A crop that hides a bay will invent the wrong count.
