What should I put on my driveway

Mark_Dj

On my driveway I have paving slabs for each side of the wheels and gravel in the middle. Now both my dogs are using it as a toilet, just like a cat with cat litter :roll: . What should I put in the middle? Just putting paving slabs in the centre would not work as it's a little larger. I was thinking either paving slabs and a little gravel around the extra gaps or mixing the gravel with concrete so it's all fixed dunno.. . What would you do?

Save up and get it brick weaved?? Or decking then you could use it for BB-Q's and parties?

I had a simialr problem in our old house we used to park our cars in the back garden, never liked the back garden because it always looked like a driveway until i Decked half and shingled the rest worked fine as a drive way and when the cars were out we could use it as a garden.

Sounds interesting. Is it hard to do lol

sorry not got any before pics but here are the after:

Decking is quite easy to do I made a big wooden frame with beams going left to right and top to bottom the decked over the top showo.. plenty strong enough for the coupe but without the car on it it looked like a normal garden.

Not to sure about brick weave though from my understanding of it you cement the outer bricks to make a square frame then place the inner bricks on sand then keep brushing over with sand and a whacker plate until the bricks are all a tight fit dunno..

What about a cheaper option of some stuff called 'Scent Away'? Its gel pellets that absolutely stink to animals. Might be worth a try??

:roll:

My dogs are like my kids lol. Just putting decking down the middle would have done me lol. It would probably rot after a while though. I like the home made ramps 🙂. I don't even have a dropped kerb for my driveway..

Could you not just put a row of slabs down the middle, and fill the gap with gravel? At least then there is only a very small area for them to try shitting on?
