LOL, I had talked to my landlord about increasing the size of my driveway, and he was like "Do whatever. It's less to mow." LOL
I've always said if I ever hit the lotto and built my own house my entire lawn would be done in that fake grass that homeowners in Arizona and the like use. It looks just like real grass, but never grows.
Then you'll be in the yard with a power washer cleaning your grass LOL
Oh, something else I would have is a heated driveway. My buddy has the heated floor in his shop and it is amazing. It would be 100% awesome in the winter. Everyone is out shoveling or plowing their driveway, and mine would never get any accumulation on it. LOL
but you might have ice at the bottom of the drive way
uhhh we have something called the Pacific Ocean it hold more water than anyone could ever use.......
